OK, here's what seems to be working for me... It's a horrible hack, but it works... First, take your WSDL file and turn it into RPC/literal (for me it was as easy as replacing the word "encoded" with "literal"). Next, setup your JBossWS stuff as though you will be receiving RPC/literal documents (from its standpoint, you will). Now for the tricky part... You will have already setup a servlet (@WebService), which you now need to add an XSLT filter to... All I had to do to make my SOAP messages understandable to JBossWS was flatten the "multiRef" nodes. Original SOAP message: | <myWebServiceMethod> | <myArgumentObject href="#id0"/> | </myWebServiceMethod> | <multiRef id="id0" ...> | <actualGutsOfArgument/> | <referencedGutNum2 href="#id2"/> | </multiRef> | <multiRef id="id2" ...> | <moreActualGuts/> | </multiRef> | Flattened SOAP message: | <myWebServiceMethod> | <myArgumentObject id="id0" ...> | <actualGutsOfArgument/> | <referencedGutNum2 id="id2" ...> | <moreActualGuts/> | </referencedGutNum2> | </myArgumentObject> | </myWebServiceMethod> | Note: The only attribute I removed was "href", all of the attributes to the multiRef node became attributes to the node that referenced it (this includes xsi:type info which I believe gets ignored anyway since it is already specified in the XSD file that my WSDL references). The filter will look something like this: | public class MultiRefFlattener | implements Filter | { | private Transformer m_transformer = null; | | public void init ( FilterConfig filterConfig ) | throws ServletException | { | final String stylePath = filterConfig.getServletContext().getRealPath( "WEB-INF/multi-ref-flattener.xslt" ); | final Source styleSource = new StreamSource( stylePath ); | final TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); | try | { | m_transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer( styleSource ); | } | catch( TransformerConfigurationException e ) | { | throw new ServletException( "Error creating XSLT transformer: ", e ); | } | } | | public void doFilter( | final ServletRequest request, | final ServletResponse response, | final FilterChain chain ) | throws IOException, ServletException | { | final String requestText; | try | { | final CharArrayWriter caw = new CharArrayWriter(); | final StreamResult result = new StreamResult(caw); | m_transformer.transform(new StreamSource(request.getInputStream()), result); | requestText = caw.toString(); | } | catch( TransformerException e ) | { | throw new ServletException( "Error filtering data" ); | } | | final ServletInputStream requestStream = new ServletInputStream() | { | private int m_column = 0; | public int read () | throws IOException | { | if( m_column >= requestText.length() ) | return -1; | final int character = requestText.charAt( m_column ); | ++m_column; | return character; | } | }; | | final HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = (HttpServletRequest)request; | final HttpServletRequestWrapper wrapper = new HttpServletRequestWrapper( httpServletRequest ) | { | @Override | public int getContentLength () | { | return requestText.length(); | } | | @Override | public ServletInputStream getInputStream () | throws IOException | { | return requestStream; | } | }; | chain.doFilter( wrapper, response ); | } | | public void destroy () | { | m_transformer = null; | } | } | If anybody has a better way of faking an HttpServletRequest, please let me know. And here is my flattening XSLT file: | <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" | xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" | xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> | | <xsl:template match="/"> | <xsl:call-template name="CopyNode"/> | </xsl:template> | | <xsl:template name="CopyNodeRef"> | <xsl:param name="elementName"/> | <xsl:param name="hrefId"/> | <xsl:copy> | <xsl:element name="$elementName"> | <xsl:for-each select="//multiRef[@id = $hrefId]/@*"> | <xsl:copy> | <xsl:apply-templates mode="keeping"/> | </xsl:copy> | </xsl:for-each> | <xsl:for-each select="//multiRef[@id = $hrefId]/node()[not(@href)]"> | <xsl:call-template name="CopyNode"/> | </xsl:for-each> | <xsl:for-each select="//multiRef[@id = $hrefId]/node()[@href]"> | <xsl:call-template name="CopyNodeRef"> | <xsl:with-param name="elementName" select="name()"/> | <xsl:with-param name="hrefId" select="substring(@href, 2)"/> | </xsl:call-template> | </xsl:for-each> | </xsl:element> | </xsl:copy> | </xsl:template> | | <xsl:template name="CopyNode"> | <xsl:copy> | <xsl:call-template name="CopyAttributes"/> | <xsl:for-each select="node()[not(@href|@id)]"> | <xsl:call-template name="CopyNode"/> | </xsl:for-each> | <xsl:for-each select="node()[@href]"> | <xsl:call-template name="CopyNodeRef"> | <xsl:with-param name="elementName" select="name()"/> | <xsl:with-param name="hrefId" select="substring(@href, 2)"/> | </xsl:call-template> | </xsl:for-each> | </xsl:copy> | </xsl:template> | | <xsl:template name="CopyAttributes"> | <xsl:for-each select="@*"> | <xsl:copy> | <xsl:apply-templates mode="keeping"/> | </xsl:copy> | </xsl:for-each> | </xsl:template> | | </xsl:stylesheet> | If anybody has a better idea for a flattener, please let me know. I hope this helps. -Shadow View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4269863#...
