I was wondering if it is possible to inject a cxf jax-ws client using the
@WebServiceRef annotation? My scenario is that there is a web service that
is running in an external system that i want to call from a stateless ejb.
I have run wsimport over the WSDL to generate the service
(@WebServiceClient) and port (@WebService) classes and packaged them up into
a jar file.
In my stateless ejb, i am using @WebServiceRef to inject a reference to the
generated service class. This works ok if i want a standard reference
injected, but if i want to start configuring some things, like the endpoint
address or ws-security, i'm coding these things, which i don't want to do.
I think there must be a way to configure cxf to do what i'm doing
programatically and have the @WebServiceRef inject a configured service
reference.
My ejb looks like this...
@Stateless
public class CreateLoyaltyAccountServiceImpl implements
CreateLoyaltyAccountService {
@WebServiceRef
@HandlerChain(file="/META-INF/web-service/virgin/client-handler-chain.xml")
MemberProfileMediatorService memberProfileService;
MemberProfileMediatorPpt memberProfilePort;
@PostConstruct
private void postConstruct() {
memberProfilePort =
memberProfileService.getMemberProfileMediatorServicePort();
Map<String, Object> ctx =
((BindingProvider)memberProfilePort).getRequestContext();
ctx.put("ws-security.username", "fffff");
ctx.put("ws-security.password", "*****");
}
}
You can see above i'm using postConstruct to do configure the ws-security of
the webservice interface. Is it possible to have a cxf config file to do
this? Something similar to below (with more properties than what i have
below to configure security and other things)...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans";

<jaxws:client id="memberProfileService"
serviceClass="MemberProfileMediatorService"
address="http://localhost:8080/MemberProfileMediatorService";
name="memberProfileService"/>
</beans>
One other minor thing that i have noticed while unit testing in openejb, i
have to specify the openejb.embedded.remotable = true property for
@WebServiceRef to work, even though i'm not actually hosting any service
implementations, only the client references. Why is it necessary to enable
remotable in this case? I think it is initializing cxf perhaps?
