Hi,
I plan to write some kind of communications bus to transport (parts of)
SOAP messages.
The idea is to send a SOAP request to the bus, a built in broker determines
the responsible processing instance and forwards a part of the message to
that instance using SOAP again.
The message flow should be like this (java like notation instead of SOAP
messages here)
Server A: "bus.writeCustomer(Customer a)"
Bus : (lookup in repository: server responsible for
"writeCustomer(Customer)")
-> ServerB, method=write
Bus : ServerB.write(Customer a) /* write, not writeCustomer */
Server B: (handle the request and send the response to Server A via the bus)
My problem is the following:
The bus has to call the method "write(Customer a)" via SOAP without knowing
what a customer type is...
I read that I can define chains for SOAP processing in Axis.
Do I have to define an own chain that does not deserialize the SOAP message
content to a Java object?!
Can I use a custom deserializer to put the content of the customer namespace
to a simple string and to put this String to another SOAP message to forward
it to Server B?
Thanks,
Wolfgang
