HTTP Router Contract

[jhenry]

I've had trouble with the SOAPProxy class and attempting a solution instead with HTTPRouter.  The HTTP Endpoint is being created correctly but no wsdl, the contract is unavailable.  I've attached my jboss-esb.xml.  Any ideas why contract is unavailable?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<jbossesb parameterReloadSecs="5"
 xmlns="http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbossesb/trunk/product/etc/schemas/xml/jbossesb-1.0.1.xsd"

 <providers>
  <jbr-provider name="StockHttpGateway" protocol="http" host="192.168.119.50">
   <jbr-bus busid="StockHttpGateway" port="8567"/>
  </jbr-provider>
 </providers>
 <services>
  <service category="Stock_Quote" description="Stock Quote Service" invmScope="GLOBAL" name="Stock_Quote">
   <listeners>
    <jbr-listener busidref="StockHttpGateway" is-gateway="true" name="StockHttpGateway"/>
   </listeners>
   <actions mep="RequestResponse">
    <action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.routing.http.HttpRouter" name="HttpRouter">
     <property name="endpointUrl" value="http://209.162.186.60/stockquote.asmx?wsdl"/>
     <property name="method" value="POST"/>
     <property name="responseType" value="STRING"/>
    </action>
    <action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.SystemPrintln" name="message">
     <property name="message" value="In the ESB"/>
    </action>
   </actions>
  </service>
 </services>
</jbossesb>

Thanks,

Hi Jonathan,

The HTTPRouter does not register a contract, it is just there to connect to another HTTP-endpoint or a Webservice. The way to get a contract is to make your service into a webservice with inxsd and outxsd defined and webservice="true" in your actions declaration. Take notice of the fact that you need both (inxsd and outxsd) for RequestResponse.

Regards,

Hans

Thank you for the response.  I'm having trouble finding an example that references a webservice.  Do you know of a good example I could use for reference?

Thanks,

Hi,

The quickstart publish as a webservice does just that: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/labs/labs/jbossesb/trunk/product/samples/quickstarts/publish_as_webservice

The in and outxsd are ment for validating the messages but that can be overidden by setting validate="false" in the actions configuration.

here an example:

{code:xml}
<services>
  <service category="httpgateway" description="Send messages" invmScope="NONE" name="MessageSender">
   <listeners>
    <jms-listener busidref="listenerBus" is-gateway="false"
     maxThreads="50" name="BusListener"/>
   </listeners>
   <actions faultXsd="/somewheredef.xsd" inXsd="/somewheredef.xsd"
    mep="RequestResponse" outXsd="/somewheredef.xsd" validate="false" webservice="true">
    <action class="nl.gouwit.esb.actions.HttpDynamicRouter" name="SendAction">
     <property name="endpointUrl" value="http://127.0.0.1:2255/SomeWhereListener?WSDL"/>
     <property name="method" value="POST"/>
     <property name="responseType" value="STRING"/>
     <property name="debug" value="false"/>
     <property name="headers">
      <header name="SOAPAction" value="http://www.somewhere.com/"/>
      <header name="operation" value="anOperationname"/>
     </property>
    </action>
   </actions>
  </service>
{code}

Regards,

Hans
