Hello everybody,

I am currently evaluating CXF as a transport framework for one of our products. 
Since this will be an implementation of the AS4 protocol, there is no WSDL or 
such which I can use to generate a Service or Client. Also, the component I am 
working on will be part of a bigger product which has internal HTTP transport 
mechanisms I will have to use. So I think it will not be possible to take the 
“standard” approach. This leads to the question I would like to hear your 
thoughts about:

How can I use CXF to compose, transform (encrypt, sign, compress, etc.) and 
send a SOAP message without generating a service or a client from a WSDL, 
annotated classes or such?

Since the developed component will only support AS4, there is not much variable 
configuration apart from URL, processing steps (interceptor chain) and content 
of the message.

Currently, I am looking for a solution on the client side, however I would 
appreciate any tip. The option that I think would be possible is to create a 
ClientImpl object which I configure from within my code. However, I haven’t 
found a good way to set the content of the message, apart from inserting it via 
an own interceptor (this is not the way CXF does it itself, right?) and it 
seems like there is very much configuration to be done for which I might be 
able to use the configuration mechanisms of CXF. Can you recommend a component 
or approach which will provide a better entry point for this kind of 
implementation?

Sincerely,
Julian Engelhardt
