I am sending a REST (HTTP GET) request to the webservice
e.g:
curl -G http://localhost:11111/MyService/echo (this is the actual ws)
returns <servers><server>Test</server></servers>
configuration i use (note that this is the complete contents of
synapse.xml):
<definitions xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse";>
<proxy name="Forwarder">
<target>
<endpoint>
<address uri="http://localhost:11111/MyService/echo";
format="get"/>
</endpoint>
<outSequence>
<send/>
</outSequence>
</target>
</proxy>
</definitions>
the log is attached with 1 piece of inline comment.
Thanx,
Jasper

Are you sending a pox (HTTP POST) request or a REST (HTTP GET)
request to
the ws?
Can you please attach the complete log and the configuration that
you have
been using so that I can reproduce this issue.
By the way: you may try application/xml as the content type as well.
Thanks,
Ruwan

Hi there,
i've run a few tests and it seems like the Cannot create
DocumentElement
error corresponds to the Content-Type i use.
When i force the content-type to be text/xml i don't get the error,
but i
don't get a response from the actual service either.
in short, judging from the DEBUG statements, with content-type set to
text/xml synapse gets to the point of http status code 202
(Accepted),
[
HttpServerWorker-16] DEBUG ServerWorker Sending 202 Accepted
response for
MessageID : urn:uuid:389AA5DEAE6E9B61391213783928075 response
written : null
response will follow : true acked : false forced ack : false
]
hope this helps in pinpointing my problem.
thanx again!

First of all,
Ruwan, thanx a bunch for responding this fast.
first thing i noted that was different from what i've tried
already is
that you access the url at soap/Forwarder/mediate
i didn't try the "mediate" part. So slapping myself to the head
and trying
again with the suggested configuration i sadly ran into
a problem i had before.
The error i get back is: Cannot create DocumentElement without
destination
EPR
this error is the reason i thought my problem lies somewhere with
ws-addressing.
the service would normally answer with plain xml. Something like:
<servers>
<server>Testing</server>
</servers>
any ideas?
as a side note:
I spotted the paths /soap and /rest in the configuration
file for
axis2....when can this /rest path be used.
/soap seems to be the path that's always used....any gems on that ?

Hi Jasper,
I have modified the cofig to fit the service name as "Forwarder"
please
see
the change in the following configuration;
<definitions xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse";>
<proxy name="Forwarder">
<target>
<endpoint>
<address uri="http://localhost:11111/MyService/echo";
format="get"/>
</endpoint>
<outSequence>
<send/>
</outSequence>

</definitions>
You can access this service with the URL
http://localhost:8280/soap/Forwarder/mediate
Thanks,

Hi Jasper,
You should be able to do this very easily with Synapse; by
creating the
proxy service proxying the actual service. Please try the
following
configuration and get back to us on any questions and problems.
<definitions xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse";>
<proxy name="Forwarder">
<target>
<endpoint>
<address uri="http://localhost:11111/MyService/echo";
format="get"/>
</endpoint>
<outSequence>
<send/>
</outSequence>
</target>
</proxy>
</definitions>
If you want to change the message format to the actual service
(MyService)
to any other than REST change the format attribute to one of the
soap11/soap12/pox as appropriate.
Looking forward to your feedback ....
Thanks,
Ruwan

Hi,
i'm quite new to Apache synapse and i'm trying to get it up and
running.
In short, the samples and all work fine.
My problems begin when i try to access a REST service of my own
as an
endpoint.
I was wondering if anyone felt up to it to post the simplest
configuration
for synapse possible for my particular case.
What i try to do:
i want the outside world to use the address for synapse only,
so the
services behind it should be transparant for the originating
party.
suppose my own service is at: http://localhost:11111/MyService/echo
i would like clients to connect to http://localhost:8280/
Forwarder
which should send through the message without any alteration to
the
MyService service
and consequently send back the response from MyService to the
client
asking for the info.
Somehow i just can't get it to work.
i get the feeling it has something to do with ws-addressing,
but i'm
not
sure.
So what would be the configuration for this for synapse
and if there are any, what are the requirements for the message
and/or
the
client.
Thanx in advance,
Jasper
