Roman (and anyone working on ReST with Axis2), Sorry for the delay in responding. Other things kept getting in the way.
It turns out that Axis2 supports ReST web service requests with parameters in the query string just fine. This is with WSDL 1.1. WSDL 2.0 is not needed to make this work. The issue I had was the way the input request was defined. In my example I had the request defined as a string, which will not work. You won't get any errors but the response will always be blank. I went down several dead ends before finally getting a reply with accurate information from Kishanthan. In my WSDL I had a simple echo operation. This operation takes a string and puts it in the response. I had the input defined as a simple type. See below. <xsd:simpleType name="EchoRequestType"> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"> <xsd:maxLength value="100"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> I needed to redefine the input to be a complex type. See below. <xsd:complexType name="EchoRequestType"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="input" type="tns:EchoRequestInputType"/> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType> <xsd:simpleType name="EchoRequestInputType"> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"> <xsd:maxLength value="100"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> After making this change the ReST request worked fine. See sample GET request below. http://localhost/test/services/TestService/echo?input=ping20130522 Regards, J ________________________________ From: Roman Manz <rm...@amadeus.com> To: java-user@axis.apache.org Sent: Friday, May 3, 2013 9:41 AM Subject: Re: ReST with Axis2 Hello Jack, you are completely right, looking forward, many thanks!

Roman - I was finally able to get a ReST web service request working with Axis2 thanks to the help of Kishanthan. I need to test a bit more and will reply with more information.

I am happy for everything you have!

These kind of REST URL are supported by default in axis2, with wsdl 1.1. For example, if one of the method (say : add) takes two parameter as input then the URL would be like, https://www.example.com/services/CalculaterService/add?val1=23&val2=54 With wsdl 2.0 you can use URL format like, https://www.example.com/test2/services/TestService/echo/ping, which is equivalent to what you have mentioned, which is the true RESTful way IMO. So can you first try with normal approach and see? The response returned is blank: <test:echoResponse xmlns:test="http://ws.example.com/test";;; /> Can anyone tell me what may be wrong? Not sure on why this is not working, but I can have look at this. Can you create a jira and attach your service archive, which causes this behavior? Thanks, Kishanthan. Is ReST with Axis2 and WSDL 2.0 possible? I am trying to justify using Axis2 here but will lose the fight if it will not work for ReST requests. Please feel free to contact me off-list.

I have created a version 2.0 WSDL for a very simple service and can generate the code stubs using the wsdl2java command. In the WSDL I have 2 bindings - 1 for HTTP and 1 for SOAP. SOAP requests work fine. All ReST requests come back with a blank response. The AxisServlet class gets the ReST request correctly as I see the query string captured in debug mode. When the service class is called the request is blank. I can see this while debugging. Do I need to do anything different in my service class for ReST requests? What am I missing? Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I've included the WSDL below.
