Hi Shameera and Martin thanks for the responses. So, the requirement is this- We have some clients which will send XML messages to some endpoints (some of the products don’t even send well-formed xml). We are currently using Synapse as a proxy which converts these messages to Soap and forwards them to those endpoint URLs. We want to get rid of Synapse because it has become too complicated at this point. So I need axis2 to forward these non XML messages to a service, and then this service will forward the messages to the endpoints. We can have more than one service to balance the load.
Please let me know more about Axis2 builder formatter approach. I realize that this is not the main purpose of axis2 and even a work around is welcome.

It seems you can use Axis2 builder formatter approach, where build get your non XML message and convert it to a well formed XML message which backend service require. Axis2 has JSON support in this way. Saying that if there are more detail on exact requirement thenwe can propose a good solution. Thanks, Shameera.

It is outside the scope of the SOAP Protocol 1.1 and outside the SOAP Protocol 1.2 spec then neither CXF or Axis can support it Synapse should provide a converter to SOAP1.2 If not we can write them one ...but not for free of course Saludos, Martin ________________________ ________________________________ From: swapnesh.gan...@jeppesen.com<mailto:swapnesh.gan...@jeppesen.com> To: java-user@axis.apache.org<mailto:java-user@axis.apache.org> Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2014 16:01:05 -0600 Subject: Make axis2 deliver non XML messages to service Is it possible to make Axis2 accept non XML messages? I know it can take Rest messages, but I have a requirement to accommodate some older products which won't send a well formed XML message to the services. We are currently using synapse, it acts as proxy in between client and services but we are trying to get away from synapse. In short I want Axis2 to deliver message to a service whether or not it's Valid according to Axis2. -- Best Regards, Shameera Rathnayaka. email: shameera AT apache.org<http://apache.org> , shameerainfo AT gmail.com<http://gmail.com> Blog : http://shameerarathnayaka.blogspot.com/
