Hi Axis2 guys,
first let me tell you that we really like Axis2 and consider it a great
software. In fact, we have embedded it in our system (through Jetty) and
it seems we'll be able to use it for some pretty cool stuff. We have a
services delivery system which is using a specific technology for
services deployment (think of it as special kind of EJBs), and in order
to expose these services through Web Services technology, we wish to
employ Axis2 for the task. As per our understanding of axis2
architecture, we need a custom Dispatcher (to find the service) and a
Receiver (to run operations).
We have a custom Dispatcher in place:
public class OnlineOsAxisDispatcher extends AbstractDispatcher {...}
which is placed in axis2.xml at the appropriate place:
<phase name="Dispatch"
class="org.apache.axis2.engine.DispatchPhase">
<!-- onlineos Dispatcher -->
<handler name="OnlineOsAxisDispatcher"
class="com.onlineos.platform.core.adapters.impl.ws.OnlineOsAxisDispatcher">
<order phase="Dispatch" />
</handler>
{...other dispatchers}
</phase>
and when the system boots, the logs show:
2007-11-06 07:11:25,546 DEBUG [org.apache.axis2.engine.Phase] Handler
OnlineOsAxisDispatcher added to Phase Dispatch
2007-11-06 07:11:25,546 DEBUG [org.apache.axis2.engine.Phase] Handler
RequestURIBasedDispatcher added to Phase Dispatch
2007-11-06 07:11:25,546 DEBUG [org.apache.axis2.engine.Phase] Handler
SOAPActionBasedDispatcher added to Phase Dispatch
2007-11-06 07:11:25,546 DEBUG [org.apache.axis2.engine.Phase] Handler
RequestURIOperationDispatcher added to Phase Dispatch
2007-11-06 07:11:25,546 DEBUG [org.apache.axis2.engine.Phase] Handler
SOAPMessageBodyBasedDispatcher added to Phase Dispatch
2007-11-06 07:11:25,562 DEBUG [org.apache.axis2.engine.Phase] Handler
HTTPLocationBasedDispatcher added to Phase Dispatch
But, although the custom Dispatcher is loaded, its methods
(findOperation, findService, initDispatcher) are never called in the
process of invoking a service/operation.
I heard some rumors on this list that in order to have a custom
Dispatcher, as part of a pre-defined (i.e. "Dispatch") phase, axis2 JARs
need to be built from fresh SVN source. Could this be the reason why our
Dispatcher doesn't get invoked when the service/operation request comes
in (we are using standard 1.3 axis2 distro, not the current SVN source)?
Thanks for the answers and best regards,
Bozo Juretic
