Learning the code way

In our last post we saw a simple Interceptor that read the request and modified it before sending it to our endpoint. The interceptor was ...

In an earlier post I used JAX-WS Handlers to modify the soap body and soap headers . The same can be achieved by directly writing CXF Inter...

Consider the operation in the below wsdl file. It talks about a simple Port that has one operation - to update the data received. Nothing f...

In the last post we saw how we could use Handlers to access various properties associated with the web service requests and responses . But...

In our previous post we saw how a handler is invoked with CXF . We also saw that our handler was invoked twice - once as a part of the inbo...

I have been trying out some things in CXF (and also feeling pretty good about it :P ) The other day I needed to modify the message of more ...

How does a simple WSDL file look? There will be a portType element that is like an interface definition of the web-service. It would tell ...

What is a soap header ? From w3schools: The optional SOAP Header element contains application-specific information (like authentication,...

We have seen how easy it is to create CXF endpoints. In the previous post on WSDL first web services we had defined server endpoints as: ...

When using CXF, the marshaling and unmarshaling of data happens under the covers . So when we make the call through java, the request is ma...

If we observe any page request sent by a browser, it will be seen to be composed of multiple headers. Consider the below screenshot taken f...

The CXF architecture provides us with interceptors – or the ability to intercept outgoing request and responses. One useful scenario could ...

In the post on Spring web services , I had used a contract first approach for development. This being the only style supported by Spring. ...

In the previous posts we saw how to run a CXF application and test the web services using a JAX-WS client . While our previous client was ...

In the previous post we created and deployed the Echo webservice . Now to test the same. For this I created a simple client.

In the previous post we saw how JAX-WS 's RI implementation could be used to build and interact with web services . I decided to work w...

In the various programming environments supported by Java, I have found web-services to be the most difficult to penetrate (That and JNDI) ...

As of now we have configured the web service and have also made our contract (or WSDL ) visible to the client. But what happens when the cl...

In the previous example we saw how to set up the application and add the WSDL and XSD files needed. We also configured a MessageDispatcher...
