I am planning to use CXF as my Webservice development framework. The java code
is already written using spring and hibernate. The requirement is to expose the
service layer in Model as web service and their method as web methods in
probably both SOAP and REST.
As a proof of concept I found CXF to work excellently with my application but
I've still some open issues/questions:
Questions specific to RESTful web services:
1. We have @IgnoreProperty for SOAP based services what is the corresponding
property for RESTful mode?
2. How to send Nested object in REST?
Details: I've to add an employee which has a @ManyToOne relationship with the
manager object. Now WADl says
<param name="manager" style="query" />.
How can I send the entire object as query parameter? I've used
add(@FormParam("") Employee employee) web method to publish.
Or Do I need to put any annotation over getManager() in my Employee pojo?
1. How to do exception handling for REST like we have SOAPFault in soap based
webservices
Question specific to General design:
In my web methods I am passing entire object while search/update. For now code
is using only a few values inside the object and ignoring the rest. What should
be the behavior in case of webservice as the client might pass values in
request which are actually ignored by the web method. For this I just want to
know what standard web service architecture recommends?
Thanks for help
