Hi,
I am developing a simple web service interface to an existing web application
(java-first). I am using Apache CXF 2.2.5 and Spring 2.5.6.
I have defined a simple web service interface:
@WebService
public interface MyServices {
public @WebResult(name="rental")Rental
getClaimByReferenceNumber(@WebParam(name="referenceNumber") String
referenceNumber);
}
and its corresponding implementation:
@WebService(endpointInterface = "my.services.MyServices")
public class MyServicesImpl implements MyServices {
@Autowired
private ClaimService claimService;
public void setClaimService(ClaimService claimService) {
this.claimService = claimService;
}
@Transactional
// @WebMethod
@Override
public Rental getClaimByReferenceNumber(String choReferenceNumber) {
Claim claim =
claimService.getClaimByReferenceNumber(choReferenceNumber);
Rental rental = MapUtils.convert(claim);
return rental;
}
...
I can install this web service (on Tomcat 6.0.20) and it seems to work ok.
I then generate a test client to test the web service, using netbeans 6.8 'New
Web service Client' wizard, pointing the wizard to the WSDL URL.
The following test method correctly calls the web service and marshals the
result to a file:
public class TestGetClaimService {
private static final String[] LOCATIONS = {"context.xml"};
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(LOCATIONS);
AXServices client = (AXServices) ctx.getBean("myServices");
GetClaimByReferenceNumberResponse.Rental rental =
client.getClaimByReferenceNumber("1923988");
JAXBContext context =
JAXBContext.newInstance(GetClaimByReferenceNumberResponse.Rental.class);
Marshaller m = context.createMarshaller();
m.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
System.out.println("Claim is: ");
m.marshal(rental, System.out);
}
The problem I have is that I now have a
GetClaimByReferenceNumberResponse.Rental object, whereas what I actually want
is a Rental object (both classes are automatically generated from the WSDL
file). How can I achieve this, i.e. return a plain object from the web service
call rather than having it wrapped-up in a response object,
Rental rental = client.getClaimByReferenceNumber("1923988");
JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(Rental.class);
...
I am guessing that this is a common problem but have not managed to find a
solution. All the tutorials I have seen seem to be able to return the business
object directly (i.e. not wrapped in a response), but I am unsure of how they
are doing this. I am new to Apache CXF and web services in general, as well as
this user list, so please forgive me if this question has already been posed
(how do you search the user lists?).
Let me know if you need anything else (WSDL file, for example)
Thanks in advance,
