Hi All,
Does the community agree that a new Cocoon SOAP proxy transformer
could better support the increasing demand for SOA applications
realised through SOAP Web services?
Warning: I am not an expert.
I think it might be a great addition. A lot of people if looking for
REST this days.
I ask this because having used the WSProxyGenerator for a REST web
service
http://www.nhs.uk/WebServices/ExportLocalServicesData/LocalServices.asmx?op=GetByOrganisationAddress
(worked very well) I found that there was no support for a SOAPAction.
I modified the WSProxyGenerator to HTTPPost a SOAPAction and use the
HTTPRequest InputStream as the SOAP Message. However this meant that I
could not do anything to the SOAP Message before it got to Cocoon. The
StreamGenerator was the obvious choice to take the SOAP message and
put it into the pipeline but I could not see a way to use the two
generators in series. To overcome this I hacked together a
CustomDOMTransformer and this has proved useful for me and at least
one other Cocoon user. I have looked around and see that some people
use XSP to do something similar. Also Antonio Gallardo has created
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1618 to do something
similar for the Axis block. Please let me know gently if I have missed
something else obvious.
It's not my patch. The reporter is Stephan Zuercher.

I get the impression that XSP is being (or should be) deprecated.
You are right.
Although many people are, I was never personally fond of JSP/ASP and
similarly I worry that Axis is doing more to obfuscate Web Services
than make them easy to implement. As we all know this is a great
opportunity for Cocoon to spread its reach. More components and
samples that make this simple to understand and easy to do must be a
good thing. I have put my very simple implementation at
http://www.warrell.co.uk/cocoon/proxy.zip
With your approval and help I would like to move this forward and
maybe get it into the 2.2 release.
Great, would you kindly add it to our tracking system [1]?
Best Regards,
Antonio Gallardo
