I have a question to the xFire client. Is it possible to invoke request by
using beans as input and return parameters? For example a call for a method
sum(): int sum(int first, int second);
// use from WSDL generated client
MathClient client = new MathClient();
MathPortType talk =
client.getMathHttpPort("http://192.168.0.12:8080/math/services/process";);
// use bean from WSDL
SumDocument req = new SumDocument();
req.setFirst(25);
req.setSecond(747);
// invoke request, result is a bean again
SumResponseDocument resp = talk.invoke("sum", SumDocument);
// or alternate
// SumResponseDocument resp = talk.sum(SumDocument);
The last days I spend a lot of time in investigating that matter but with no
success. I know I could use that approach:
Service serviceModel = new ObjectServiceFactory().create(MathPortType.class);
XFire xfire = XFireFactory.newInstance().getXFire();
XFireProxyFactory factory = new XFireProxyFactory(xfire);
MathPortType client = (MathPortType)factory.create(serviceModel,
"http://192.168.0.12:8080/math/services/process";);
int result = client.sum(25, 747);
We decided to go the other way: over beans. XmlBeans looked promising and the
page "XMLBeans Client Generation.html" from the manual in the distribution
showed some example that seems to fit perfect. Unfortunately it's out of
date. The class to generate the client doesn't even exist anymore. The
interfaces methods don't take the xmlbeans.
All documentations about using clients I've seen so far are for the dynamic
proxy clients xFire is using now. That one doesn't capsule input and output
parameters. Even if you generate the client with wsgen the result is the very
same. Did I miss something? Is there a way to feed the client with xmlbeans?
I don't want to rewrite xFire...
I hope someone has an anwer to my question.
Thank you
R.M.
