Andreas Veithen commented on AXIS2-4662:
----------------------------------------
Note that the existing solution addresses a different use case, namely that of
embedding Spring inside a service archive (i.e. running a Spring container
inside Axis2). Axis2 indeed doesn't provide a solution to embed Axis2 inside a
Spring container. While your PoC may be a starting point, it lacks a very
important aspect: dependency injection. How would you address a use case where
references to some other beans need to be injected into WeatherSpringService?
> Improve Spring Integration for Axis2
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: AXIS2-4662
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4662
> Project: Axis2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: kernel
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1
> Reporter: Stephan van Hugten
> Attachments: POC_Axis2.zip

> I wanted to create an application that has tight integration between Axis2
> webservices and Spring. There is already a solution presented at the Axis2
> website, http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_5_1/spring.html, but I found that
> solution very cumbersome in my opinion and doesn't support the JSR 181
> annotations.
> With my proposed approach it is possible to fully integrate the Axis2
> run-time with a spring container, whether it is stand-alone or in a web
> server such as Tomcat. This solution also supports both the JSR 181 annotated
> classes and the regular AAR-files.
> To fully integrate Axis2 with Spring I have overridden the SimpleAxis2Server
> class used by the standard stand-alone run-time. A full listing of this class
> is included in my example application.
> The important stuff is in line 21 up to 36. First it determines the absolute
> path of the repository and config location parameters. Then it passes those
> to the AxisRunner constructor (lines 10 to 13) and starts the server. After
> it successfully starts the Axis2 server it returns the bean to the Spring
> Container.
> After the creation of the bean it will invoke setDeployedWebservices (lines
> 46 to 51) which will cycle through the passed webservice classes and deploy
> them at the created run-time. That's it! No additional configuration or
> packaging is needed. If the Spring container starts up, so does the Axis2
> run-time and the webservices get deployed.
> The needed configuration in order to integrate Axis2 is quite simple. Below
> is a complete listing of my applicationContext.xml (Spring 2.5.6):
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <beans xmlns="namespace stuff">
>
> <bean name="axisServer" class="com.example.poc.server.AxisRunner"
> factory-method="create" scope="singleton">
> <constructor-arg value="repository" />
> <constructor-arg value="config/axis2.xml" />
> <property name="deployedWebservices">
> <props>
> <prop key="WeatherSpringService">
> com.example.poc.webservice.WeatherSpringService
> </prop>
> </props>
> </property>
> </bean>
> </beans>
> With a little bit more effort I think it's also possible to integrate this
> solution with the Spring component scan, making it possible to annotate the
> webservice classes and the run-time with @component. I have tested my
> war-project with Tomcat 6 and Sun Webserver 7.
