Hi Daniel,

I have got an idea how I could implement several services on one queue without too much problems.

The idea is to publish the services with a local endpoint only. Then I configure one additional endpoint on jms and write a custom invoker. The invoker figures out what local endpoint the request should go to and invokes it. Then it forwards the reply back to jms. It could find the correct endpoint either by analysing the namespace of the xml or by using ws addressing. The only thing is I do not know exactly how to implement this.

Is it better to do this in cxf directly or should I rather use camel for this? The jms and invoker part sounds to me like it could be done in camel quite nicely but I am not sure. Especially I do not know how to do synchronous things in camel.

It definitely could be done in camel. By default, the listener on a JMS queue is single threaded. Thus, all requests would come in on one thread. No syncronization would be needed. You would just take the message, figure out where to dispatch it to, and dispatch it. It would be completely single threaded by default.


Digging into the code a bit, I notice our JMS transport does:
WorkQueueManager wqm = base.bus.getExtension(WorkQueueManager.class);
if (null != wqm) {
        executor = wqm.getAutomaticWorkQueue();
}

Thus, if you put a single threaded workqueue thing on the bus, that would accomplish it as well. The API's look like they have some support for this already, but they aren't hooked up to anything. :-(

The simplest thing would probably be to write you own subclass/ implementation of WorkQueueManager (fairly simple) and configure that in to the bus.

Hi,

I am building webservice adapters for a legacy system. The system can be accessed with a java api but is not multi threaded. So my problem is that I want to offer several services in one process and still make sure only one service is called at a time. To make this scalable I will then run this processes several
times on the same and different machines.

So my question is:
Can I offer several services with cxf on the same jms queue in one process

I think so, yes. With configuration, you can use message selectors to put multiple endpoints on the same queue and have the messages dispatched correctly.


and make sure the whole process works only on one request at a time and routes the reuqest to the right service?


This one I'm not sure about. Good question. CXF is definitely designed for high scalability and mutlti-threaded cases.

Hmmmm.... One option, I guess, would be to write a custom invoker that syncronizes things and use a single instance of that invoker for all the endpoints. Might be harder for dynamic deployments though.

Another option might be to write a pair of interceptors, one for the IN chain and one for the out/out fault chains that just aquire/ release a lock of some sort.

I also would like to make management of this system as easy as possible. Ideally I would like this process to be a kind of application server where I can install and deinstall services while it is running. Still they should listen on one queue and work single threaded. I imagined doing this with an osgi server. The problem is that probably then each bundle will have it´s own cxf and they are not single threaded anymore.

Any ideas for this?

Best regards

Christian
