Hello,
I have built my own lightweight binding components similar to the
o.a.s.components.http.* classes to use with http get in order to
retrieve html pages via ESB. The problem is that the HttpMarshaler/
HttpClientMarshaler expect the content of the http request/ response
body to be xml in order for them to include it in the NormalizedMessage
content. Unfortunately, this does not work with html as it is not xml
compliant, so I put the response body in as an attachment. I have tested
the new components and it seems to work fine.
I wonder whether for a more generic solution the lightweight Marshalers
should support other Mime-Types. Only if the content-type of the http
header is "text/xml" the http requests/ responses are transformed into
the NormalizedMessage contents, otherwise they use an dummy contents and
attach the request/response to the message. I'd be happy to work on this.
I know that the HttpComponent already allows for MultiMimeMessage Post
Requests, however, it expects at least one part of it to be xml (which I
don't like). I would much rather prefer for the SoapReader to check if
there is a xml part available, if yes, use it as content, otherwise
attach everything and use a dummy message content.
Any comments are most welcome.
Stefan
