Re: User Feedback Request -- this means you!
Ok, here are my priorities: 1) JDK 1.5 support 2) EJB 3 3) JAX-WS 4) more minor releases 5) More docs on GBeans (explaining its merits and implementation in different scenarios) Regards, Stefan Schmidt David Blevins wrote: So this is the first of what I think should be a quarterly event. Geronimo is ultimately your project and we committers are but your humble servants. To serve you best, we need some critical high level feedback to help us steer the project and focus on what matters most to you! Please, every user out there, give us your top 5 things we can do to make Geronimo better for you. Here is my list: 1) More interaction with you guys, the users! 2) More frequent releases incorporating more user feedback (small releases more often vs. big releases only 4 times a year) 3) Less deployment requirements (simpler plans, more defaults, etc.) 4) More application validation at deployment 5) More powerful text configuration That's just to get the ball rolling. More detail is always good if you have the time. In general anything you think we need to correct as a community, technical or non-technical. Let us know. If you've ever uttered the words, "Geronimo would be such a great project if it only" then now is your time to shine. We want to hear from everyone! This is not just for the "hard-core" Geronimo users or J2EE experts. If you are new to J2EE and downloaded Geronimo and had to give up after an hour of no progress, let us know what we might do! It's all about you. Best Regards, David Blevins
Re: Web Services Question
Hi Manu, As long as your WS is JAX-RPC conformant you can deploy either type - document or rpc-style Web services. As for the differences between both, there is a long list... Basically document-style is far more coarse grained and business/document-oriented, also I think this is the future of WS. Document-style WS can be used in synchronous and asynchronous scenarios as opposed to rpc which only supports synchronous invocations. RPC-style is really what the name says - invoking remote procedures. Many developers find this style easier to understand. I find this article quite comprehensive: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/xml/jaxrpcpatterns/ Hope this helps. Regards, Stefan Schmidt Manu George wrote: Hi, Can you deploy Document style web services in Geronimo? If so what are the differences in deployment from JAX-RPC style web services? Thanks Manu
Re: Deploying axis in to Geronimo! how?
Chin, If you want to deploy the Axis distribution including your Web service in geronimo (as standalone), simply pack it as war file and deploy it. There is an article on this at IBM developerWorks. If you are looking for fully J2EE compliant Web service using JAX-RPC you don't need to deploy Axis since Geronimo comes with a full implementation of this API. There is a tutorial on IBM developerWorks as well. Regards, Stefan Schmidt ChinUom wrote: hi all, i really new to Geronimo stuff. i need to configure axis on Geronimo. pls help me on that. how can i configure axis ? thanks regards Chin
Where can I register SOAP Handlers?
Hi, I have two Web services, one exposed via the Web container, the other one via the EJB container. I would like to process their SOAP headers and also try some WS-Security stuff. To achieve this I have written my own message handler which extends the javax.xml.rpc.handler.GenericHandler. Now, I was wondering where (in which DD) I have to register these Handlers. Can I also register them as a Handler chain? As for the WS-Security usage - I assume Geronimo has no implementation of WS-S by default? What would be the best method to integrate Apache WSS4J into Geronimo? Thanks. Regards, Stefan Schmidt
Enforcing SSL for Web- and EJB-tier
Hi, I am currently playing around with some security settings. I was wondering how I can enforce the usage of SSL? I tried the following in the web.xml but with no success: SomeName /* POST GET CONFIDENTIAL What else do I need to set this up properly? How do I enforce the same for EJBs? Thanks.

Re: access a BLOB coloumn from a CMP EJB
Gianny, Jeremy, I got it! Apparently, the problem was on my site. I actually loaded the Blobs (images) directly via the PhpMyAdmin Gui (there is a file upload function) and then tried to access these blob fields via the EJB. To dig into my problem I tried the org.openejb.test.entity.cmp2.StorageTests on MySQL and this worked. So I ended up updating my blob fields via the EJB (loading the files via the EJB rather than PhpMyAdmin ) and now it works! Seems like the PhpMyAdmin does something with the blob that Java doesn't like... Anyway, thanks for your help there. Stefan Gianny Damour wrote: I was trying to find the root cause and I have added an integration test to test the storage of a byte[] into a BLOB (see org.openejb.test.entity.cmp2.StorageTests in OpenEJB itests).

JAX-RPC Web Service with Complex Types
Hi,
I have further questions regarding web services..
I have managed to get a simple method running (of type: public String
getMessage()) in on a JSE. But I am getting an Axis Fault for the
following type: public MySimpleBean[] getBeans()
AxisFault
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
faultSubcode:
faultString: java.io.IOException: No serializer found for class
com.ibm.dw.reallybigpet.Category in registry
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The WSDL element for this (simple :-)) complexType is:
http://ejb.reallybigpet.dw.ibm.com"; xmlns:ns2="urn:http://arrays/com/ibm/dw/reallybigpet";
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; xmlns:soap11-enc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
xmlns:tns="urn:http://ejb.reallybigpet.dw.ibm.com"; xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
http://arrays/com/ibm/dw/reallybigpet"/>
I read in some JAX-RPC tutorial that the inclusion of the
element is not necessary in the JAX-RPC mapping file if
you are using standard XML schema built-in types with standard mapping to Java. I
believe that happens with my Category bean.
Since I get the 'no serializer found' exception I was wondering where I
should specify the Category.class for the serializer to find it?

Stefan Schmidt

Axis WS integration
