Hi all, I thought I would answer my own question. I couldn't get the xfire configuration (services.xml) to define service properties with any type other than String. After much experimentation, the only approach that worked for me is to use the raw Spring syntax in services.xml rather than the nice xbean syntax. Here is an example of services.xml that worked for me.
Regards, - Joe <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans> <!-- this does not work - the abcdeDataSource bean turns into a String --> <!-- <service xmlns="http://xfire.codehaus.org/config/1.0";> <name>MyServices</name> <serviceClass>com.foo.IServices</serviceClass> <implementationClass>com.foo.ServicesImpl</implementationClass> <style>wrapped</style> <use>literal</use> <scope>application</scope> <properties> <property key="abcde"><ref bean="abcdeDataSource" /></property> </properties> </service> --> <!-- this is the clumsier Spring syntax that does exactly the same thing and actually works --> <bean name="baseServices" class="org.codehaus.xfire.spring.ServiceBean"> <property name="serviceBean" ref="servicesImpl" /> <property name="serviceClass" value="com.foo.IServices" /> <property name="name" value="MyServices" /> <property name="style" value="wrapped" /> <property name="use" value="literal" /> <property name="scope" value="application" /> <property name="inHandlers"> <list> <ref bean="addressingHandler" /> </list> </property> <property name="properties"> <map> <entry><key><value>abcde</value></key><ref bean="abcdeDataSource" /></entry> </map> </property> </bean> <bean id="servicesImpl" class = "com.foo.ServicesImpl" /> <bean id="addressingHandler" class="org.codehaus.xfire.addressing.AddressingInHandler" /> <bean id="abcdeDataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean"> <property name="resourceRef"><value>true</value></property> <property name="jndiName" value="jdbc/abcde" /> </bean> </beans> -- Joe Morrison Deutsche Bank, 60 Wall Street, 8th floor office: +1 (212) 250-8486 mobile: +1 (917) 952-2935 Joe-D Morrison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/14/2007 07:55 PM Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject [xfire-user] Creating non-String service properties Hello, I'm trying to create a services.xml file that defines non-String service properties. I'm creating them as data source objects but when I retrieve the properties they become Strings. I found the following: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/XFIRE-668 which suggests that I'm encountering the xbean bug. What is the recommended fix at this point? I tried declaring various xbean dependencies in my pom.xml file, e.g. <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.xbean</groupId> <artifactId>xbean</artifactId> <version>2.8</version> </dependency> but the dependency could not be resolved. I also tried declaring the property this way: <property key="foo" xmlns=""> <!-- added empy namespace here --> <ref bean="fooDataSource" xmlns="" /> </property> but that didn't work either - the property was null when I retrieved it. Any suggestions much appreciated.
