[xfire-user] Message Translator......

[Danny Trieu]

Hi all,   I to implement a Message Translator as a service, i.e. WebService, to integrate the two applications together. The two apps use difference xml documents, therefore needed to be transformed before processing.   I wanted to use XFire to take advantage if its fast Stax driven model to process the transformation. My approach was to use the MessageBinding approach with the service method accepting XMLStreamReader as the parameter representing the wrapped document that needed to be translate before forward to its destination. My problem is, how do use XSLT with the source being StAx? To take advantage of XFire’s StAx ? If I were to use Document as the service parameter in order to use XSLT for transformation would defeat the purpose of using StAx model right? Can someone point to implementation approach that is Best Practice to this very commons practices?   Also, How would I start my implementation of the service: 1)       start with writing the WSDL that describe my service interface, including the <wsdl:types/> that has the schema of my xml inDoc that need to be translate?   Or 2)       I define the service interface like this:   Interface MyService {       XMLStreamReader/Document invoke( XMLStreamReader/Document theDocument ) ; }   And generated the WSDL. And may be modify the generated WSDL’s <wsdl:types/> to include the schema of the inDoc?   Thanks for any help,   --danny
