Leaving CXF for Glasshfish Metro

2008-01-23 Thread jonathan doklovic 
Hi,

After spending about 2 weeks trying to get a very simple service to
return JSON in CXF, I found the Glassfish Metro project and it's
jaxws-json plugin.

I gave it a shot and after 2 hours had my service up and running.
Not only that, but the plugin generates pretty api docs at the endpoint
for me as well as generates a javascript client on the fly.

It was just too easy to make me stick with CXF.

I think CXF is probably a good framework, but the docs and examples are
in pieces and without real life end-to-end tutorials, it's really hard
to get things working.

wrapped=false breaks spring config

Hi,

I'm trying to get a simple JSON service running.
For now, I'm just simply getting http_binding working with spring.
It works fine with wrapped=true but ass soon as i set wrapped to false,
I get an Invocation of init method failed (NullPointer).

Here's my cxf.xml
-

location);
}


my IMPL:

@WebService(endpointInterface = my.package.GeoCode)
public class GeoCodeImpl implements GeoCode {



public GeoCodeImpl( ){

}

@Override
public GeoCodeResponse geoCode(String location) {

.. i do stuff here ...

return r;
}

}

the error:

java 6 jar removals

2008-01-16 Thread jonathan doklovic 
Hi,

I'm using java 6 and was wondering what (if any) jars I can remove from
my libs when using cxf?

It seems I can remove the following and everything still compiles:

jaxws-api.jar
saaj-api.jar
jaxb-api.jar
jaxb-impl.jar
stax-api.jar

is this correct?
anything else?
