By the way, I just thought, perhaps in this case it is just possible to rely on the JAXRS jaxrs:server endpoint to expose a given
pojo over SOAP. Much depends on the actual 3rd party pojo, but if this pojo has only single in and out types in selected methods to
be invoked then one would be able to create a simple model describing this service in xml, ex, say that
setFoo accepts Foo with an application/soap media type and returns Bar, also
with application/soap.
Additionally, one would need to register a SOAP-aware JAXRS message body reader/writer with a jaxrs:server and this provider would
delegate to correspoinding SOAP interceptor chains - this is something I'm not sure is possible to do :-), but I'm just throwing
this crazy idea :-) out there...May be this provider could simply register a dummy JAXWS endpoint and then get in/out interceptors
out of this endpoint and invoke on them...
cheers, Sergey
This is one of the motivations behind introducing a CXF JAX-RS no-annotation feature - you have an existing 3rd party library and
you just easily and nicely 'wrap' it with a simple xml file which itself can be generated from a simple ui tool. IMHO, having
something similar for CXF Java WS would be beneficial.
cheers, Sergey

Subject: Re: Expose pojo via webservice dynamically without annotations (maybe
with Spring/AOP)?
I think the other problem is that simple != java-ws and I want to
expose my pojo as a web service.
What I am trying to do is avoid changing the code to add annotations.
e.g. what happens when I want to expose a third party class as a web
service and I dont have the source code for it?
