This is a work I began some time ago to better support soap, split the
provider endpoints from the consumer endpoints This is clearly
unfinished.... The goal was to rewrite the HTTP endpoints so that they are
easier to extend. There are some derived endpoints that use the new soap2
module for a better SOAP support. The server side is in a workable state,
but the client side has not been finished.
I have also worked on integrating Apache CXF (which is the "next" version of
XFire) ... And it seems to be quite usable so we have two components that I
checked in this week. The main point is that it should bring a better
jax-ws support, including on the tooling side, and also add support for
WS-RM on the BC side.
I don't think maintaining the soap2 module is a good idea given that CXF
provides a better support and has a load of developers to support it. At
the same time, the work that has been done on HTTP and JMS endpoints is
good. I don't think CXF has enough support for HTTP / JMS when not using
SOAP.
Thoughts ?
Agreed - support for CXF is very good step for ServiceMix because we
no longer have to handle SOAP directly. But I think that we should
continue developing our own HTTP and JMS components. I like the split
that has been done between the consumer and provider endpoints. I
think it's a step in the right direction for allowing easier extension
to support additional scenarios.
