Hi,
In Teiid project, we provide "connectors" that consume XML based data from variety of sources including "web-services" for data integration purposes. Previously, Teiid was running in its own VM, so we provided custom web service client code using the JAX-WS "Dispatch" interface and Axis2's Call interface to invoke the web-service calls along with Teiid's own configuration.
In 7.0 release of Teiid, we are working towards integrating the Teiid into JBoss AS and re-evaluating our data consumption model. In this environment, we feel it is probably verbose for us to provide yet another way to configure web-service client. We want to use any predefined methods that are in work through JBossWS project.
The requirements are
- Should be able to invoke Doclitral/wrapped service
- Shoud be able to invoke a JAX-RPC based service
- REST support would be great
We want users to define a web-service client using some configuration in the AS, then when the user supplies the bound service name to the Teiid, Teiid should be dynamically able to invoke the call on the service and grab results. Dispatch is perfect, but all examples show them how to use in the code, not through configuration. We are willing to extend any technique to fit our needs. Any advise for us?
Thank you.
Ramesh..
