[xfire-user] Best practice for TransactionProxyFactoryBean based spring services

[Nigel Magnay]

Hi list

We have a number of spring services that use the TransactionProxyFactoryBean transaction wrappers to do the right thing (example at end).

Ideally, I would like to use XFire to expose the transaction-wrapped TaxonomyService (which implements ITaxonomyService).
Even more ideally I'd like to use JSR-181 annotations on ITaxonomyService (and aegis annotations on dependent classes) in order to get it set-up correctly.

I could do this by writing a proxy bean (much as you when using Spring/Axis and generating something like JaxRpcTaxonomyServiceBean that just forwards to the 'real' service), but I was wondering if there is a simpler (minimal configuration) way with xfire ?



Example of a service:
    <bean id="TaxonomyService"
        class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean">

        <property name="transactionManager">
            <ref bean="TransactionManager" />
        </property>
        <property name="target">
            <ref bean="TaxonomyServiceTarget" />
        </property>
        <property name="transactionAttributes">
            <props>
                <prop key="*">
                    PROPAGATION_REQUIRED
                </prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="TaxonomyServiceTarget"
        class="com.cswgroup.kms.services.beans.TaxonomyServiceBean">
        <property name="modelFactory">
            <ref bean="ModelFactory" />
        </property>
        <property name="persistenceManager">
            <ref bean="PersistenceManager" />
        </property>
        <property name="userContextAuthenticator">
            <ref bean="UserContextAuthenticator" />
        </property>
    </bean>
