Greetings!
I am evaluating CXF as a replacement for Axis and have run into a bit of a
problem.
My requirement is to ensure that the wsdl generated by CXF matches the wsdl
produced by our old services. The main problem I am facing is with customising
the return types/parameters of a method with regards to dates.
We are using the JodaTime library internally but want to send a "dateTime"
element over the wire. Typical methods exposed on an SEI might look something
like these:
Public LocalDate getDayCheeseExpires() {...}
Public void getCheeseByDate(LocalDate date) ()...
The WSDL representation of LocalDate on the wire needs to be a xsd:dateTime.
From reading the literature available and searching the mailing lists it
appears that I cannot simply register an XmlAdapter for LocalDate (I have tried
and it doesn't appear to work).
I have also tried wrapping the return type in a DateTO which is annotated with:
@XmlType(name="dateTime", namespace = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";)
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(DateTOAdapter.class)
I was under the impression that JAXB would invoke my adapter when it
encountered a DateTO. The methods in DateTOAdapter don't appear to be invoked
when I invoke the web service. In fact JAXB complains on context initialisation
that:
"Caused by: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException: 1 counts
of IllegalAnnotationExceptions
org.joda.time.DateTimeFieldType does not have a no-arg default constructor.
this problem is related to the following location:
at org.joda.time.DateTimeFieldType
at org.joda.time.DateTimeFieldType[]"
My DateTO looks like:
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(DateTOAdapter.class)
@XmlType(name="dateTime", namespace = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";)
public class DateTO {
private LocalDate date;
public DateTO() {
date = null;
}
public DateTO(LocalDate o) {
this.date = o;
}
public LocalDate getDate() {
return date;
}
}
I am a complete n00b to both CXF and JAXB having been playing with Xfire +
Aegis bindings until now. Is it possible to do what I want with CXF/JAXB and
the JAXB front end?
Best regards,
James lewis
