[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss ESB] - Wise based soap client for esb

[maeste]

Hi all,

I wrote an alternative soap client action for esb.

The client is based on my open LGPL software wise: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jax-wise
http://www.javalinuxlabs.org/wise/index.html

It uses wsconsume API to dynamically generate client object and invoke web service, delagating to JBossWS JAX-WS implementation the dirty job.
It use smooks under the hood to transform user defined object into JAX-WS generated ones.

It support also standard JAX-WS handler and a generic smooks transformation handler to apply transformation to generated soap messages.

You can find it in my workspace under  product/services/soap/src/main/java/org/jboss/soa/esb/actions/soap/wise/
I also wrote javadoc for the action class explaining how to use it and e example demonstrating 3 common use case:

  * Direct call of a simple service without any mapping is needed
  * Call of a service using a smooks mapper java-to-java
  * Call a simple webservices without mapping, but with an handler
    modifying  header with smooks and an handler logging on System.out
    request and response
In this 3 examples don't forget to have a look to wise-core.properties for some important configs. Of course they could be integrated in action's config in jboss-esb.xml in next future, but this first implementation leave them there.

On wise roadmap I have the implementation of webservices' call receiving  different resources (CSV, XML and so on) using smooks to map it on JAX-WS generated client objects, giving another interesting opportunity in ESB environment. 

It is an initial implementation, and I need to integrate wise objects generation with new smooks configgenerator ( http://milyn.codehaus.org/Smooks+User+Guide#SmooksUserGuide-GeneratingtheSmooksBindingConfiguration) to make user experience easier. I already had a look, but I'm very very busy in these days and hopefully I can put my mind on in 2 weeks or so.
In the mean time, it would be very good if someone could take a look to current initial implementation and to 3 examples and give his feedback.

thanks in advance
