One of the fundamental characteristics and advantages of web-services is that it allows different environments, different operating system, different programming languages to interact.
Does Apache CXF support clients in other other languages (especially dynamic languages like JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Perl,...)? The answer to that question is not clearly stated anywhere in CXF documentation. If CXF supports clients in other languages, then SAMPLE SOURCE CODES SHOULD BE PROVIDED! It's not enough to say yes. We must separate the two cases of synchronous functions and asynchronous functions. I would like to see sample code in JavaScript and Python for call to synchronous web-service in CXF. This might be possible, but some sample code would be helpful. I am particularly interested in seeing how a client in another computer language than Java like JavaScript or Python can call an asynchronous web-service in Apache CXF. Asynchronous web-service in CXF uses classes like Future<?>, AsyncHandler<?>. These classes don't map directly to classes in JavaScript and other languages. I am not aware of any correspondence across computer languages. I have a strong feeling that a different language like JavaScript requires a software framework in order to write a client that can call Apache CXF web-services. Does such framework exist? If yes, it should be mentioned in the documentation. If such framework does not exist, then Apache CXF should write one for the major other programming languages (JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Perl, ....etc) -- View this message in context: http://cxf.547215.n5.nabble.com/CXF-supports-clients-in-other-languages-Then-provide-samples-tp5774606.html Sent from the cxf-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
