Good stuff. Did you ever get JAXB working?

Thanks DJ. Nope, though I didn't try after I wrote the article. JAXB worked fine as long as I stuck with simple data types. You can try it yourself by just removing the serviceFactory injection from the contactUsFactory in myapp-servlet.xml. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did. If so I'd be interested to hear.

Is there a URL that I can get your example source code?
Thanks!

Hi XML. I added the source code for the services and client app to the Resources section at the end of the article. I did not include the third-party JARs since those mostly come from the CXF distribution itself.

Tried the tutorial, it works great as is
1. except the one JAR file as JDOM1.0.Jar needs to be added as mentioned in your earlier tutorial.
2. JSP file does not print anything, but I am getting the output in Console.
${message.lastNameFirstName} (${message.email}): ${message.text}

It works with Spring 2.5.2 using JBoss 4.3 CXF stack (not with the default included 2.0.4, but with 2.0.5).

I cant get the client to work with spring 2.5.x, there is a very annoying bug for me:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: setConfigLocation
org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.c reateWebApplicationContext(FrameworkServlet.java:3 98)....

I changed the client for spring 2.0.x and it works.

Not sure exactly what you're running into but the API changes from time to time. The setConfigLocation() method appears in Spring 2.5.2; compare the Spring 2.5.1 API

http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.5.1/api/org/springframework/web/context/ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.html

with the Spring 2.5.2 API

http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.5.2/api/org/springframework/web/context/ConfigurableWebApplicationContext.html

When I wrote the article I was using the Spring 2.5.0 distribution. If you aren't already doing so I would try using the latest versions of Spring and CXF and see if you have any luck. Sounds like you aren't the only one who's had this issue though:

Hi, I'm beginner and I have a problem with client :(
I use tomcat 6.0.x, spring 2.5.4 and CXF 2.1

how to access a webservice from another webservice

Thanks for the article! I created a maven build so that folks can run (and change) the code instantly. See: http://www.jroller.com/brodkin/entry/a_maven_project_for_willie

Great Article, indeed cxf works well with aegis...until you dont use circular references in your model...

Great Article. Thanks.
I want to use a Java client for this rather than the web client. What should I do?

Regards,
Srikanth

Hi Srikanth. Just inject the service bean proxy into your Java client and you should be in business. So to use the example from the article, you'd inject the contactUsService (the service bean proxy) into your Java class.

The only thing that strikes me as bad is the fact that we have to place a server side jar on the client side which kinda seems to defeat the purpose of using web services in the first place. By introducing a dependency and that too by placing jars your going to run into maintenance nightmares when you want to change/upgrade your server and you need all your clients to upgrade along with you

Thanks for the excellent articles.

I get the following error when I compile against a new WSDL.

Rpc/encoded wsdls are not supported in JAXWS 2.0

Is there any way that I can use CXF with RPC encoded WSDLs??

Haven't run into it myself but here's a forum post I found about it:

http://www.nabble.com/Rpc-encoded-wsdls-are-not-supported-in-JAXWS-2.0-error-td20420617.html

Hi,
I've just tried your code without AEGIS and got it working without any problem. Maybe that's because I'm using CXF 2.1.3 ?

Great articles Willie!

I tried following both tutorials and got it working but for some reason, if the client is spring injected, its method which is supposed to return a DataHandler for binary data is returning null.

I tried this programmatically instead of using Spring and it works perfectly. Would you have any ideas why?

@Jarell: Can you post the relevant part of your app context file? (Please use the <pre> tag to format it.)

Hi Willie,

Here's the programmatic way:

JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
factory.getInInterceptors().add(new LoggingInInterceptor());
factory.getOutInterceptors().add(new LoggingOutInterceptor());
factory.setServiceClass(JasperWebService.class);
factory.setAddress("http://localhost:8081/JasperWebServiceApp/jasper");
JasperWebService client = (JasperWebService) factory.create();
DataHandler dh = client.generateCommsTreeSample();
fos = new FileOutputStream(filePath);
dh.writeTo(fos); 

Here's the Spring Config when I try to inject the client, (I'm using JSF support of Spring to inject it to the backing bean):

<bean id="JasperWebServiceFactory" 
        class="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean">
   <property name="serviceClass" 
        value="com.hp.bcp.jasperws.contract.service.JasperWebService"/>
   <property name="address" 
        value="http://localhost:8081/JasperWebServiceApp/jasper"/>
   <property name="serviceFactory" 
        ref="jaxwsAndAegisServiceFactory"/>
</bean>


<bean id="jasperWebService"
          class="com.hp.bcp.jasperws.contract.service.JasperWebService"
          factory-bean="JasperWebServiceFactory"
          factory-method="create"/>

<bean id="aegisBean"
           class="org.apache.cxf.aegis.databinding.AegisDatabinding"
           scope="prototype"/>

<bean id="jaxwsAndAegisServiceFactory"
           class="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.support.JaxWsServiceFactoryBean"
           scope="prototype"> 
   <property name="dataBinding" ref="aegisBean"/>
   <property name="serviceConfigurations">
   <list>
     <bean class="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.support.JaxWsServiceConfiguration"/>
     <bean class="org.apache.cxf.aegis.databinding.AegisServiceConfiguration"/>
     <bean class="org.apache.cxf.service.factory.DefaultServiceConfiguration"/> 
   </list>
   </property>
</bean> 

The server seems to work just fine. However, I'm having accessing the client.

Once i set up everything and when i try to access using the client web site(e.g. http://localhost:9006/CXFClient/viewMessages.do)

I'm having this error from the client console:

16:49:35,813 WARN [PageNotFound] No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/CXFClient/viewMessages.do] in DispatcherServlet with name 'myapp'

please help

Very usefull article,

I get the server to run without any problems, however, the client is a pain in the ass.

I'm using Java 6, TomCat 6, Spring 2.5 and CXF 2.2

I get the following exception when i start the client:

print("Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'cxf' is defined

I solved the problem by adding the following code the CXF Spring config:

print("<!-- Load CXF modules from cxf.jar -->
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf.xml" />
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-extension-soap.xml" />
<import resource="classpath:META-INF/cxf/cxf-servlet.xml" />"); 

Hmm, weird input form...

The Exception message was:

"Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'cxf' is defined".

i have this exception:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.ws.commons.schema.XmlSchema.getTypeByName

for jar XmlSchema-1.3.2

what this ? i use be tomcat-6 and jboos

Hi Willie,

I managed to get it working with JAXB by moving to cxf 2.2.3 and Spring 2.5 (or higher).

The change to the myapp-servlet.xml is as follows:

<jaxws:client id="contactUsService"
              serviceClass="contactus.ContactUsService"
              address="http://localhost:8080/Cxf/contactus" />

<!-- Controllers -->
<bean class="myapp.ViewMessagesController">
    <property name="contactUsService" ref="contactUsService"/>
</bean>

<!-- View resolvers -->
<bean id="viewResolver"
      class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/"/>
    <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean> 

Please note that CXF and Spring will not work on Websphere 7.0x because the websphere jax-ws engine does not honor spring bean dependencies for web service endpoints. (i.e. the WAS engine instantiates the web service impl every time a call is made, bypassing the already instantiated one in spring (assuming you are using a singleton)) This is true even if you turn off annotation scanning and revert to the 2.4 servlet specification. I am working with IBM on fixing the issue.

As a follow up on the WAS 7.0 issue the fix is simple. It is a matter of telling the container not to search the source code for annotations relying instead on the web.xml file. This is accomplished by by adding metadata-complete="true" to the web.xml as shown in the following example:

It will also decrease startup time but you must make sure to include all your resources in the web.xml.

Hi Willie

Great tutorial.

This is the first time i try the CXF Web Service with Spring. I am using Eclipse and Tomcat 6. Your previous tutorial works fine on my environment. When trying this one, I copied your code and followed the steps, but every time I deploy the app on my Tomcat, I got this error below. Could you help?
