Probably not, as that uses the JAX-WS RI, not Axis2.



does axis2 contain its own ws implementation ?

i am new to webservice. now i am trying to do simple sample application using axis2 in eclipse.
i want deploy my service in tomcat7 server with out using any tools and .aar files ( as like we are doing for jsp and servlet.. just copy files as per the deployment structure).
i have tried in google to get the deployment folder structure for webserivces.. but nothing is use full..

kindly tell me the deployment folder structure for webserivces? thanks in advance..........

imho it is quite confusing to spot which steps in JAX-WS development (mostly deployment) is done by which component (IDE (Appserver plugin), Jax-WS Framework (Axis, Metro) or Java/Jax-WS Tools (apt, wsgen etc.).
another problem is to find out, which artefacts are required (e.g. webservice.xml and wsdl are both not always required - as running the jax-ws RI examples show).

imho the lowest possible approach for developing (learning) WS is the following:
  • download and install ant (for commandline usage)
  • download and install JAX-WS RI
  • download and install tomcat
  • install (deploy jars) JAX-WS RI into tomcat
  • run the provided examples which are included in JAX-WS RI (commandline ant)

    if you really have to implement this with a webservice/http than i agree to the postings before that http is not really suitable for doing this (a GB sized transfer in one large chunk).
    but maybe you could split such large files on the client and use soap-mtom-large-attachment-streaming for upload an reassemble the file on the server.
    mtom-streaming is explained here:

    ...the Dynamic Proxy client does not require you to regenerate a stub prior to running the client on an application server for a different vendor....

    it seems to be that a jax-ws client is portable across platforms, e.g. a swing client (or applet) which contains a jax-ws based client for c/s communcation should run OOB on several OS
    and for a jax-rpc client some artefacts has to be build/provided for the client to work on another platform.

    rtfm-snippet:

    The static client programming model for JAX-WS is the called the Dynamic Proxy client. The Dynamic Proxy client invokes a Web service based on a Service Endpoint Interface (SEI) which must be provided. The Dynamic Proxy client is similar to the stub client in the Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) programming model. Although the JAX-WS Dynamic Proxy client and the JAX-RPC stub client are both based on the Service Endpoint Interface (SEI) that is generated from a WSDL file , there is a major difference. The Dynamic Proxy client is dynamically generated at run time using the Java 5 Dynamic Proxy functionality, while the JAX-RPC-based stub client is a non-portable Java file that is generated by tooling. Unlike the JAX-RPC stub clients, the Dynamic Proxy client does not require you to regenerate a stub prior to running the client on an application server for a different vendor because the generated interface does not require the specific vendor information.

    The Dynamic Proxy instances extend the java.lang.reflect.Proxy class and leverage the Dynamic Proxy function in the base Java Runtime Environment Version 5. The client application can then provide an interface that is used to create the proxy instance while the runtime is responsible for dynamically creating a Java object that represents the SEI.

    hi nadia

    the message flow with webservices bound to a strict client-server model. the web service endpoint in your hub has no method for adressing arbitrary/specific ws-clients and sending out a message to them.
    a ws-client has to make a request to get an response; this means you have to implement the forwarding of messages with clientside polling of every client which wants to receive messages.
    this means that your timeframe-based messaging cannot be controlled completely from the hub. depending on the message rate an number of clients you have the choice of 3 pollingmethods: clients
    can be implemented using asynchonous calls (polling on the responseobject or callback with a handler) - jax-ws supports this. But this means, the hub binds resources for these waiting calls and maybe
    you will get timeout-related problems over the network. maybe its better to keep it simple and let the clients poll synchronous and the ws-hub-endpoint answers immediate whether a message is available or not.
    a second call would then get the message.

    hi everybody,

    i am new to jax-ws and noticed that my webservice which implements interface Provider<Source> (Annotation WebServiceProvider) behaves the same
    regardless of the chosen servicemode. In both cases (PAYLOAD or MESSAGE) the method invoke gets an object of type StAXSource which holds the entire SOAP-Message
    (beginning with <?xml .... <S:Envelope ....). Using payload-mode i expected only the contents of the soap-body , but i always get the whole soap-message.
    (i am using glassfish 2.1.1, java 5)

    the j2ee 5 doc says:
    Service mode. PAYLOAD indicates that the Provider implementation wishes to work with protocol message payloads only. MESSAGE indicates that the Provider implementation wishes to work with entire protocol messages
    ( see http://download.oracle.com/javaee/5/api/javax/xml/ws/ServiceMode.html )

    maybe this behaviour is specific to glassfish ?

    thanks in advance

    axis seems to be JAX-RPC; maybe JAX-WS is more up-to-date.

    so, for beginners (like me) another question is which environment regarding development of webservices is appropriate.
    eg. which spec (jax-rpc vs jax-ws) to use
    eg. which runtime (glassfish 2.1, 3.x ?, only tomcat ?, axis, metro standalone ?)
    eg. which IDE (eclipse, netbeans) - (which edition ? eclipse for SOA developers ?, which Plug-ins ?)

    and finally with all these components its the question which wizards to use or which deployment method

    hi ulf, my understanding is that RESTful WS is fully supported in JAX-WS via Provider/Dispatcher/HTTP binding lowlevel programming.
    The following article explains this (with examples):

    Hello world,

    i'm just new to webservices (thanks to ivan for your study notes !!!) and have a question regarding application architecture.
    e.g. an architect wants to build a resource-oriented application based on RESTful webservices (http-binding). he talks about this
    approach with a collegue (which is new to jax-ws) and after some time his collegue states the opinion that its better to do the
    job using a plain old servlet framework like struts, turbine or spring.

    what is your opinion about this ? which are the strong advantages of the RS approach ?

    thanks in advance for your answers.
