Re: Need to eliminate use of SOAP for Http-REST

Jervis,

Thanks for the reply. An update on the situation -- there is (was) a bug 
here, which Dan Diephouse is addressing. He found me a workaround to my 
problem for now.

Hi Brad, 

Currently there are two ways to build RESTful service with CXF, using CXF HTTP 
binding or using JAX-WS Dispatch/Provider API. JAX-WS Dispatch/Provider 
approach is just using JAX-WS API, so it is SOAP/HTTP based (but you can also 
configure it to use XML binding instead). CXF HTTP binding maps operations from 
URI or HTTP verbs,  the input parameters can be extracted from URL or Http 
payload using different content types such as POX or JSON, it definitely does 
not need SOAP in this case.  I can not tell which approach you are using from 
the code snippet you have enclosed, I will need your 
com.nextrials.kilter.service.user.UserService class. But it seems that you are 
using JAX-WS Dispatch/Provider approach otherwise you wont get back an error 
message wrapped with SOAP Envelope.

Cheers,
Jervis

Subject: Need to eliminate use of SOAP for Http-REST


Hello,

I have followed the instructions in the documentation for RESTful 
services to with the intention of creating a pure Http-XML service 
without SOAP. However, when I hit one of my service URL's from a browser 
(without parameters, just to see what would happen) I get the following:

<soap:Envelope>
    <soap:Body>
        <soap:Fault>
            <faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
            <faultstring>wrong number of arguments</faultstring>
        </soap:Fault>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

I do not want to use SOAP. I want only an XML document passed as a 
parameter over Http -- no SOAP. This seems to indicate that SOAP is 
still in the mix, but I need to remove it. I have this configured in 
Spring, according to the documentation. Here is the content of my spring 
beans.xml (verbatim from the doc):

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans";
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
    xmlns:jaxws="http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws";
    xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/jaxws.xsd";>

    <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" />
    <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml" />
    <import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-servlet.xml" />

    <jaxws:endpoint
      id="userService"
      implementor="com.nextrials.kilter.service.user.UserService"
      address="/UserService" />
     
</beans>

Here is the content of my web.xml, verbatim from the doc:

<!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>

        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>WEB-INF/beans.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <listener>
        <listener-class>
            org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
        </listener-class>
    </listener>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
        <display-name>CXF Servlet</display-name>
        <servlet-class>
            org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet
        </servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

How do I remove SOAP from the mix?

Thanks!

Brad
