Re: Axis1 style="message" in Axis2?

2006-08-17 Thread David Melgar
Can you clarify what Axis is generating an error if  is not
specified? I had commented out the dispatch phase from axis2.xml and it was
still returning a 500. Where is the exception being logged?

I'd like to have more confidence in the solution before investing too much
time in it.

Hi,
Given what you need to do (which is possible ofcourse) it simply
requires a bit more knowledge about the internals of Axis2. I am going
to outline a doable procedure but unfortunatley I don't have the time
to write a lengthy description and elaborate each point.

1. You need to introduce a custom dispatcher (Axis does not enforce
the action but it comes addressing enabled by default). What this
dispatcher does is figuring out the static and runtime service and
operation  'data  bags'. We call them AxisService,AxisOperation and
serviceContext, operationContext. Ultimately your custom dispatcher
should provide the these 'data bags' relevant to your service. Please
have a look at the dispatcher implementations to get an idea of how
these work.

2. Write a custom message receiver. If you generate code for server
side using a simple WSDL you will see the source for a custom message
receiver. Modify the code off that not to find the method using the
action.

That should do it :)

What you are trying to do sounds pretty advanced (given that you're
dynamically generating WSDL).

There are a couple of options I can think of...
1. Remove the dispach phase from your Axis2 configuration and write
your own MessageReceiver (which removes the need for an AxisOperation
to be identified)
2. Define a single operation for the service and add a handler to the
DispatchPhase which selects that operation when the
RawXMLInOutReceiver will then invoke on the endpoint object.

RE: Axis1 style="message" in Axis2?

2006-07-26 Thread Bhatra, Junaid








I ran into the same problem some time back
in which I wanted Axis 1.x “message” style behavior in Axis 2 in
order to dispatch to non-standard Java objects. I ended up using a work-around
involving SOAPAction since Axis 2 contains an action-based dispatcher. So every
operation defined in my WSDL specified the same SOAPAction value equal to my
service method name. I was using RawXMLMessageReceiver with a single method. Note
that I was using WSDL 1.1/SOAP 1.1. I haven’t tried this with SOAP
1.2/WSDL 2.0, which does not have SOAPAction, although it does make use of an
action parameter with exactly the same semantics. I’m guessing you could
do the same using wsa:Action header as well.

 

It would definitely be nice though to have
a wildcard  with Axis 1.x “message” style
semantics instead of having to work-around this problem.

Setting the message receiver to RawXMLMessageReceiver
still appears to require  to determine which method to
invoke. In axis1, the specified method would receive all messages for that
service. Equivalent behavior should be available in axis2 regardless of the
value of the wsa:Action header. 

To

Re: Axis1 style="message" in Axis2?

2006-07-26 Thread David Melgar

Setting the message receiver to RawXMLMessageReceiver
still appears to require  to determine which method
to invoke. In axis1, the specified method would receive all messages for
that service. Equivalent behavior should be available in axis2 regardless
of the value of the wsa:Action header.

To further clarrify, the service I'm
writing bridges between webservices and a non-Java object invocation mechanism.
It dynamically determines what operations are allowed. This services does
not know at deployment time what operations are possible. I therefore don't
know all the wsa:Action header values that it might be included in request
messages. Therefore I cannot declare  values in the
service deployment descriptor. In case you're wondering, this service also
dynamically generates WSDL to describe the discovered supported operations.

Is there a way to wildcard 
to say that any action maps to a method? Or to avoid the requirement for
specifying an actionMapping if RawXMLMessageReceiver is used.

Are there other approaches that could
be used?
