Better way to map from axis generated objects to domain?

[Josh]

Hello,

Starting from a wsdl/schema, Axis will generate some plumbing code/objects
to marshal/unmarshal xml.  Is there an easier way to map to/from these
generated object to my corresponding domain objects?  Is anyone using any
mapping layer to do this?  What are the best practices for insulating your
existing java code from changes to the code generated by Axis?

Thanks,

Joshua

Re: Better way to map from axis generated objects to domain?

[Josh]

Robert,

My application has an existing domain/service layer that does not map 1:1
with the entities that will be used on the wire.  My process thus far has
been to create a schema for the web service input/output and generate the
java objects that map to them.  What I am left with is still two different
object models.  Just like we use Hibernate/Ibatis to map between objects and
tables, I would like to map between these two layers of objects.  This way,
the web service layer can change independently from my existing
domain/service layer.  What are you using for your mapping layer?

I use a mapping layer to go from WSDL generated to Domain Objects.  Since
this is a legacy system and the domain objects are reversed out of a
database with Hibernate we have information in the domain objects that is
not relevent to the Web service interface.

If you have the ability/desire to tightly couple the Web service to your
domain, then maybe you don't need to do a mapping. I'ld be nervous.

How to Unit test an axis service that extends Springs ServletEndpointSupport?

[Josh]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to write a JUnit test case that can test my
service endpoint outside of the servlet container. My axis service endpoint
extends springs ServletEndpointSupport but I cannot seem to find any mock
objects that will help me initialize this object correctly.

To initialize the servlet, I need to call the init method from the
ServiceLifecycle Interface:

init(Object context)

Trouble is, the context here is of the type
javax.xml.rpc.server.ServletEndpointContext. As I mentioned earlier, I have
been unable to find any Mock objects for this class. Can someone point me to
an example?

Good Morning,

Just to be sure I understand you correctly, you deployed your axis2 services
similar to what is described here: http://wso2.org/node/90/print

And you are able to go to

Re: [Axis2] AXIOM or JBIX

[Josh]

Just for my own knowledge, is this a true statement?: "This is because
XMLBeans implementation can understand all the XSD (i.e. schema)
constructs."  Does JiBX have mapping limitations?

Regards,

Joshua


On 3/26/07, Nilesh Ghorpade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:


 Hi,

As per my understanding AXIS 2 uses AXIOM API's internally for any XML
related activities. Hence as you have mentioned that you are confused to
choose between POJO, AXIOM, JIBX, ADB or XMLBeans, the AXIOM is an invalid
option here.

Secondly in AXIS 2 you can create web services using either the Spring
Framework or POJO.

JiBX, XMLBeans and ADB are more related to the data binding frameworks
which AXIS 2 supports. Hence it depends on your schema on which data binding
framework you would want to select. As per my knowledge XMLBeans is the best
when it comes to complex schemas. This is because XMLBeans implementation
can understand all the XSD (i.e. schema) constructs.

To answer your second question, the answer is YES. If you want to use the
wsdl2java command from AXIS2 for generating your stubs and skeletons you
will need the WSDL. Generating a WSDL is also not a diccficult task. YOu can
have your SEI defined i.e. the Service Endpoint Interface with all the
method signatures which you want to expose as web service operations. On
executing the java2wsdl command from AXIS2 you would be able to get the
WSDL. And using this WSDL you can generate the remaining artifacts of your
web service. WSDL is nothing but an interface and hence even if you have
defined an interface in Java, you can generate a WSDL from it.


Hope that answers your queries.

Niles

Are the "services.list" and "modules.list" really required?  I have deployed

[Axis 1.4] More detail please: "Exceptions are represented as wsdl:fault elements"

[Josh]

The user guide for Axis 1.4 states:

*"If a method is marked as throwing an Exception that is not an instance or
a subclass of java.rmi.RemoteException, then things are subtly different.
The exception is no longer a SOAP Fault, but described as a wsdl:fault in
the WSDL of the method. According to the JAX-RPC specification, your
subclass of Exception must have accessor methods to access all the fields in
the object to be marshalled and a constructor that takes as parameters all
the same fields (i.e, arguments of the same name and type). This is a kind
of immutable variant of a normal JavaBean. The fields in the object must be
of the datatypes that can be reliably mapped into WSDL.*

*If your exception meets this specification, then the WSDL describing the
method will describe the exception too, enabling callers to create stub
implementations of the exception, regardless of platform."*

Is there more details on how to implement/configure this?  Better yet, is
there an example for this using Axis 1.x?

Data binding frameworks that allow backwards compatible schema changes?

All,

I am looking to determine which client side data binding choices (castor,
jibx, jaxb etc) allow backwards compatible schema changes (eg addition of a

schema changes without causing a ripple effect.  Has anyone come across this
information?

Re: Data binding frameworks that allow backwards compatible schema changes?

Amila,

If I configure a databinding approach to work with the following XML:


   John
   Doe


Which databinding approaches will not break if I pass in the following XML:


   John
   Doe
   25
   M


While most client applications may not want to interpret the new
information, I want to make sure that I can recommend a binding approach
that does not cause a ripple effect when new items are added to the schema.
Does this clarify what I am looking for?

What you exactly mean by backword compatible schema?
e g.  if you add a new element to a complex type with minOccurs 0 then
this should work properly with  the requests you got earlier as well. But in
this case it the way you write schema and it has nothing to do with the
databinding frame work as far as it correctly interpret the schema.

Re: Data binding frameworks that allow backwards compatible schema changes?

[Josh]

Dennis/Amila,

The point was to allow for some "backwards compatible" growth of the schema
without requiring the clients to make changes.  Not necessarily to avoid
validation entirely.  If I understand correctly, JAXB 2 is limited to Java
5.  Unfortunately, I am working in a Java 1.4 environment.  Is this a
feasible approach or do most people create new versions of the wsdl and
schema?

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2431 The same WSDL (and
schema) works fine with ADB and JiBX data bindings.

[AXIS 1.4] When remote exceptions are thrown, does the response still go through the handler chain?

[Josh]

All,

I put together a simple handler that captures the execution time of the web
service and puts the time in ms in the header.  Trouble is, when an
exception occurs, nothing gets put in the header.  Does this mean that when
an exception occurs, it is not process back through the handlers?  Can
someone explain this?

Thanks,

Josh

Do AxisFaults pass through handlers?

[Josh]

All,

I am finding that AxisFaults don't pass through handlers like ordinary
messages.  Is this correct?

Joshua

[Axis 1.4] Handler.onFault method only getting called once?

[Josh]

If I have three handlers defined in the global responseFlow, why does only
one of the handlers onFault() method get called?  It appears that it is the
last Handler in the list that receives the call to onFault().  Is this by
design?

Regards,

Joshua

Strategy/Pattern for Unit testing web services?

[Josh]

Hello,

I am looking for more information on unit testing web services.  I could
generate a client and use Jnit to perform the testing, but is that the best
way?  I would like to hear what others are doing.

Regards,

Joshua

aggregating several generated service.xml files into one file

[Josh]

All,

I run wsdl2java several times from my build file.  Each produces a
service.xml file.  Is there a programatic way to aggregate these files into
one file?

Regards,

Josh

Axis 1.4 - When using Java2WSDL, my ip address appears in the impl, intf and targetnamespace. How can I change this?

[Josh]

When using Axis 1.4's Java2WSDL, my ip address appears in the impl, intf and
targetnamespace.  How can I change this behaviour so that my name spaces
don't change if I deploy to another server?

Thanks,

Does Axis2 support consuming RPC based services?

[Josh]

All,

The last time I had to consumer RPC based services, my only solution was to
use Axis 1.4.x. using the wsdl2java tool.  Does Axis2 support the
consumption of RPC services?  If not, is my only option to use Axis 1.4.x?
Is this still being maintained?

Thanks!

Re: [Axis2] Which is the best data binding method ?

[Josh]

Has anyone seen any online comparision of the different data binding
frameworks (Pros, Cons and Performance)?  I really liked the Jibx approach
at first, but had difficulty mapping a schema to my existing java objects.
If I had known about certain limitations earlier, I could have saved lots of
time.

Both those limitations are fixed in latest svn (if not in 1.2). We

xmlbeans databinding?

[Josh]

Hello,

I saw a section for ADB and Jibx databinding on the apache site.  Did I miss
the section on xmlbeans databinding or does it not exist?  Where can I find
more information on this?

Regards,

Joshua

Re: xmlbeans databinding?

[Josh]

Thanks Martin,  I check that out now.

Help with AXIS bug with complex type and maxOccurs

[josh s]

Hi,

I'm a relative newbie to webservices. I'm attempting to do something fairly
straight forward using AXIS 1.4 and AXIS appears to be doing the wrong thing
to me.

An extract of the WSDL which is used with axis-wsdl2java to generate java
is below.

  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

When I attempt to send a message using the generated code some of the XML
generated by AXIS looks like the following which appears incorrect.

   
   
   DRN
   
   
   

If I do not specifiy maxOccurs in the WSDL then the XML that is produced is
however correct

   
   
   DRN
   
   
   

Is this is a bug in AXIS? Is there a workaround or do I need to specify my
WSDL differently.

I can send the entire WSDL if that helps. This has really got me stumped and
any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for you help.

Passing values to class constructors

[Josh Potter]

Greetings,

I have been searching for a few days now and cannot figure out how to 
pass a value to the constructor of my class or web service.  My 
situation is like this, I have a config file that I want to load that 
holds database connection settings.  My service scope will be 
Application.  I would like to pass the location of the config file to 
the service when it starts so it can set up the appropriate connections 
to the database based on the values in the config file.  If any more 
information is needed I would be happy to provide.


Thanks,
Josh Potter

Re: Passing values to class constructors

[Josh Potter]

I should probably go into more detail.  I am extremely new to this.  So 
far I have more or less followed the documentation to get stuff up and 
running.  I have tomcat installed with axis copied over to the webapps 
directory of tomcat.  I have my class copied over to the classes section 
of WEB-INF for axis.  I have a deploy.wsdd that I wrote and I used the 
command line tool to deploy my class as a service.  I see no service.xml 
files anywhere.  If there is another process I should be following, a 
point the in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

From where do you want to pass the information? From the service.xml 
of the service?


If so you can use parameters. See section 6 in 
http://www.developer.com/open/article.php/10930_3589126_2
