Invoking Web Services from your Flux Workflow
Flux's RestAction is the go-to construct for users orchestrating Flux workflows that involve web service integration. Be it HTTP-based services or SOAP-based services that implement HTTP binding, RestAction comes very handy for developers. Flux has a WebServiceAction which talks SOAP exclusively for services that implement WS-* such as Addressing, Security etc. RestAction has neat XPath … Continue reading Invoking Web Services from your Flux Workflow
Hate JAXB annotations: MOXy and JAXBIntroductions comes to the rescue
JAXB is the defacto OXM binding framework for the Java platform which performs marshalling (serializing Java to XML) and unmarshalling (deserializing XML to Java) using the standard Java APIs. I must admit that JAXB is a smart addition to the Java Web services technologies stack. It reminds me of days where I used to write … Continue reading Hate JAXB annotations: MOXy and JAXBIntroductions comes to the rescue
SOAP over RESTy Client
JAX-RS runtime allows applications to supply entity providers which maps services between representations (via @Produces and @Consumes) and their Java types. The entity provider interfaces MessageBodyReader and MessageBodyWriter defines the contract that supports the conversion of a stream to a Java type and vice versa. Lets write a simple JAXRS provider for handling a SOAPMessage … Continue reading SOAP over RESTy Client

LoanDB – loan originations system reference implementation
LoanDB is a loan originations system reference implementation. This project will be developed using Java technology frameworks such as Spring (Web Beans in future?), Hibernate (JPA), CXF (JAXWS) and Jersey (JAXRS). The concepts are based on my original toy implementation for the loan processing NetBeans tutorial. The tutorial was primarily focused on developing JPA and … Continue reading LoanDB – loan originations system reference implementation
Building RESTful web services using Jersey
Jersey is a JSR 311 reference implementation for the JAX-RS spec (The Java API for RESTful Web Services). The JSR development is nearing its completion, but for most part the RI is stable enough for developers to start playing with RESTful services. JAX-RS is an elegant API built around the powerful REST architecture and modeled … Continue reading Building RESTful web services using Jersey
Developing Apache CXF and JPA services in NetBeans 6.1 IDE
Apache CXF is an open services framework. It is more than just a Web Services stack. Its simple, powerful, and promising. Today, the CXF project graduated from incubation as a top-level Apache project. It has made several stable releases since its incubation. I know projects which still prefer to use first generation Axis due to … Continue reading Developing Apache CXF and JPA services in NetBeans 6.1 IDE
