Re: Difficulty in configuring external webservice call

Stefan,

You should be able to use the URL you use on the <http:endpoint/>configuration. If it doesn't work, could you post this piece of yourxbean.xml so we can take a look?

I've specified a consumer http:endpoint. When sending an HTTP request to the

Connection Refused message.

Which URL should I use to send a request to the http:endpoint ?

Stefan,

If you would like to test your <cxfbc:provider/>, one way is to exposeit to the outside world using a consumer endpoint that makes it easy totest things -- just pick and choose the one you like: HTTP, JMS,file/ftp poller, ... For an InOut service, HTTP is a very convenient one.

Another option could be to use a ServiceMixClient(http://servicemix.apache.org/client-api.html) to interact with theESB. We also have examples around for doing integration testing(http://servicemix.apache.org/integration-testing-in-spring.html) orunit testing, if you want to automate the testing part.

Gert,

I think I've understood consumer/producer lingo, but ... I would like to

test the cxfbc:provider by sending an HTTP (or JMS) request to the ESB.

That's why I've created a consumer http:endpoint that receives the HTTP
request and forwards it - via a RouteBuilder - to the cxfbc:provider
which

forwards the HTTP request to the external webservice.

Is this the correct way to test the cxfbc:provider or is there another
(better) way of achieving this ?

Regards, Stefan.

Stefan,

An <http:consumer/> is an external endpoint.  It is available from the
outside world and is used to expose a service that is available to the
outside world using plain HTTP or HTTP/SOAP.  It will receive an HTTP
request, send a MessageExchange through the ESB and optionally send back
the reponse over HTTP.

An <http:provider/> is an internal endpoint, that is available from the
ESB itself.  It is used make an external HTTP or HTTP/SOAP service
availble in the ESB.  This is similar to what you do with your
<cxfbc:provider/>, you make the external service hosted at
https://e-depottest.smals-mvm.be/fphp/3.1/ws/PersonQuery.jws available
inside the ESB.  It receives a MessageExchange and does an HTTP request
from that.

If you combine both of them, like you are doing here, you are using
ServiceMix as a web service proxy: with the <cxfbc:provider/> you make
the
service available on the ESB and you can use all kinds of consumer
endpoints (HTTP, JMS, ...) to allow the outside world to access the
service again.

Does this clarify the consumer/producer lingo for you?

Hi,

Based on the documentation "A consumer endpoint is a server-side http
endpoint that will consume plain HTTP, or HTTP+SOAP requests and send
them into the NMR to a given JBI endpoint" I think I should use a
consumer endpoint. Why should I use a provider, which - again according
to the documentation - is called (internally?) by the NMR ?

I definitely would like to receive an answer, so I will change the MEP
and use "http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-out"; instead.

Hi,

From looking at your modules I am just thinking that maybe your
http:endpoint should be a consumer so that it can receive
your request forward it to the cxf-bc and it makes the call to the
external
web service.

Also your have defined it to have a mep as in-only - so you won't get
a
response back.

Is this was you want to do ?

Edell,

I've done the suggested modifications and the deployment of the SA is
working :o). Thank you very much for helping me.

Now I would like to test via the http:endpoint the call to the
webservice.
I've tried to send an HTTP request to http://localhost:8192/bridge
but
received a Connection Refused message. Which URL should I use to send
a
request to my webservice ?

Hi,

I can deploy your tutorial-sa with the following changes.

(I had to change the location of the directories to be polled etc in

the

file su
and change the locationURI in the cxf-bc to some server I could have
access
to)

So if you change the following it should work for you

In the tutorial-cxf-bc the xbean.xml should look like the following

<beans    xmlns:cxfbc="http://servicemix.apache.org/cxfbc/1.0";
        xmlns:dummy="urn://fsb.belgium.be/fphp/v3_0">

        <cxfbc:provider
                wsdl="classpath:PersonQuery.wsdl"
                locationURI="
https://e-depottest.smals-mvm.be/fphp/3.1/ws/PersonQuery.jws";
                service="dummy:PersonQuery"
                endpoint="PersonQuerySoap"/>

</beans>

The reason that it could not find the service definition is that it

was

not
in the wsdl.
It will look for the service defined in the wsdl that you specify
and

the

service will take
the default target namespace defined there which was different to
the

one

you were specifying.

Also in the tutorial-http-su - add in the  namespace

xmlns:dummy="urn://

fsb.belgium.be/fphp/v3_0"
and have the service specified as dummy:PersonQuery.

Hope this helps, Edell.

Hi,

Can you send your complete xbean.xml files.

Are you sure you have not defined

http://www.credoc.be/<http://www.credoc.be/PersonQuery%7DPersonQuery>in

any of your xbean.xml files.

It looks to have the namespace defined incorrectly somewhere.

Edell.

I am not sure that you need the starting '/'

 from("jbi:service:/http://www.company.com/PersonQueryIn";)
  .convertBodyTo(DOMSource.

also what have you defined the credoc namespace to be.

Hi,

I'm trying to use ServiceMix to make a call to an external

webservice,

but
I
have some difficulties in find the wright configuration.

The WSDL used by the external webservice contains
 <service name="PersonQuery">
   <port name="PersonQuerySoap" binding="s0:PersonQuerySoap">
     <soap:address
location="http://vilcanota:7002/fphp/3.1/ws/PersonQuery.jws"/>
   </port>
 </service>


Based on this WSDL definition, I've defined a cxfbc:provider

with
the

same
service and endpoint as defined in the WSDL.
 <cxfbc:provider

wsdl="

https://e-depottest.smals-mvm.be/fphp/3.1/ws/PersonQuery.jws?WSDL=";

locationURI="

https://e-depottest.smals-mvm.be/fphp/3.1/ws/PersonQuery.jws";

   service="credoc:PersonQuery"
   endpoint="PersonQuerySoap"
 />

I've defined a JMS consumer, so that my clients can use JMS to

connect
to

ServiceMix:
 <jms:consumer
   service="credoc:PersonQueryReceiver"
 endpoint="jmsEndpoint"
 targetService="credoc:PersonQueryIn"
 destinationName="personquery.in"
 connectionFactory="#connectionFactory"/>


I've defined a simple Camel router that forwards the incoming

JMS

request

to
the cxfbc provider:

 from("jbi:service:/http://www.company.com/PersonQueryIn";)
  .convertBodyTo(DOMSource.class)
  .to(jbi:service:/http://www.company.com/PersonQuery);

When deploying this configuration, I'm receiving the following

error:

"<loc-message>org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ServiceConstructionException:

Could not find definition for service

{http://www.credoc.be/PersonQuery}PersonQuery<http://www.credoc.be/PersonQuery%7DPersonQuery>
<http://www.credoc.be/PersonQuery%7DPersonQuery>

<http://www.credoc.be/PersonQuery%7DPersonQuery>

.</loc-message>"

I've tried several options, but without any success :o(. Where

should

this
PersonQuery service be defined ?
