Gert, thanks for your quick response. The soap request already has authentication information (authenticationkey). We have authentication webservices and business webservices already in place.
Currently business webservices (axis2 framework) has filters (handlers) to intercept every call and authenticated using the authenticationKey. Since this is like point to point and all the services need to be redirected to the handlers. We are considering the use of ESBs to handle the first call and then redirect to the main service so that we can avoid the use of authentication handlers for every service. Also I am not sure of the use of scripting here mentioned in the diagram at servicemix home page. Can you please give me more info on the servicemix authentication. Not sure whether I can make my own authentication api calls from servicemix security framework. thanks again for your inputs. regards Yugandhar Gert Vanthienen wrote: > > Yugandhar, > > One solution to your problem could be to use: > - a content enricher, to add authentication information to your message > - followed by a message filter, which drops messages with invalid > authentication information > > However, ServiceMix also has built-in security features (1), which would > allow you to have the authentication happen more transparently. > > Hope this helps, > > Gert > > (1) http://incubator.apache.org/servicemix/security.html > > yugandhar wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I am newbie to Servicemix and have been going through the documentation >> and >> did few examples. >> We are evaluating the servicemix to expose our authentication webservices >> through the ServiceMix. >> >> Requirement/Scenario is : >> >> clients will invoke a soap request then ESB should invoke authentication >> services, if successful then ESB should invoke the business services >> (these >> are also webservices). >> >> I am assuming the flow as: >> >> client - httpconsumer - httpprovider - external web business >> service(authentication) >> if authentication is successfull then httpprovider should redirect to >> main >> webservice >> >> Question: Can I use implement the above scenario. if so do i need to use >> scripting or some other way to make these calls.... >> >> Any help is greatly appreciated. >> >> thanks in advance >> Yugandhar >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> > > > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Implementing-redirection-to-invoke-multiple-web-services-tf3706025s12049.html#a10365440 Sent from the ServiceMix - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
