Hi Ray, What do you mean by "not do the auto-magical xml stuff that CXF seems to support now in the REST support"? Do you mean you want to access the raw xml message payload instead of marshalling the xml into objects? If this is the case, you probably want to use the JAX-WS Provider/Dispatch approach: http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/rest-with-jax-ws-provider-and-dispatch.html
Cheers, Jervis -----Original Message----- From: Ray Krueger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 2007?7?30? 19:26 To: cxf-user@incubator.apache.org Subject: Plain Old Xml over Http I'm loving CXF right now by the way, so thanks for that :) I'd like to be able to send my current WSDL types over the wire without soap envelopes as plain-old-xml via http POST operations. I started with a WSDL and a pair of Request/Response type objects... Running wsdl2java generates a perfectly working service with jaxb inputs/outputs... (summarizing code here, not copy and pasting) @WebService interface CurrencyExchange { @WebResult, @WebMethod ExchangeResponse exchange(@WebParam ExchangeRequest) } Great, all this SOAP stuff works as advertised and that's fantastic. I'd like people to be able to use a REST-like url (really, I don't care what the url looks like), but not do the auto-magical xml stuff that CXF seems to support now in the REST support. I'd like to use the same schemas I use for the input and output mesage types in the wsdl. via the POX approach... http://localhost:8080/CurrencyExchange/exchange POST <ExchangeRequest>.....</ExchangeRequest> returns <ExchangeResponse>....</ExchangeResponse> via the SOAP approach... http://localhost:8080/CurrencyExchange POST <SoapStuff><ExchangeRequest>.....</ExchangeRequest></<SoapStuff> returns <SoapStuff><ExchangeResponse>....</ExchangeResponse></SoapStuff> Any ideas where I could start or what I could touch to make this work? (Hopefully the half-assery that are my code examples; don't confuse anyone) ---------------------------- IONA Technologies PLC (registered in Ireland) Registered Number: 171387 Registered Address: The IONA Building, Shelbourne Road, Dublin 4, Ireland
