Andy,
You can integrate an existing webservice in the ESB using either the
servicemix-http or servicemix-cxf-bc component. For more documentation
on these two options, have a look at
http://servicemix.apache.org/servicemix-http.html and
http://servicemix.apache.org/servicemix-cxf-bc.html. You will have to
create a SU for one of these components and define a provider endpoint
for your existing webservice.
How did you plan to do the integration between your web service and
ServiceMix? One option would be to use the Client API
(http://servicemix.apache.org/client-api.html) and send an InOut
MessageExchange to the provider endpoint you defined previously -- you
will automatically get the response from the webservice as the 'out'
message in the exchange.

Hi,
I need to call an external web service via ServiceMix and get the response
back to the application for further processing. I have the WSDL and would
like advice on the best way forward from here (or the most standard for
ServiceMix). So basically it's like this:
Request:
(1) <my web app> ---> **ServiceMix ESB** --> <my service> --|-->
<EXTERNAL WS>
Response:
(2) <EXTERNAL WS> --> <my service> --> **ServiceMix ESB** --> <my web app>
There seem to be a number of different ways to achieve this and i'm a little
confused as to which is the right way and which files need configuring (or
classes that I need to write) in order to achieve it.
I would appreciate advice on this.
Thank you.
