Smooks transformations with Freemarker template do not work in SwitchYard 0.7 version

[ioanna_kaliarnta]

Hi,

We recently upgraded our development environment from SwitchYard 0.6 to 0.7 and we experienced an issue with the smooks transformations we had implemented in our porjects.

In particular, in our services we use smooks transformations with Freemarker template in order to transform Java objects to the XML output messages of the services.

When we deployed our application in SwitchYard 0.7 server, the transformations didn't work and the following error was written in server.log whe the transformation was executed:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationFailedException from [Module "org.milyn:main" from local module

In order to avoid this error and make the trasnformation work, we replaced the xstream-1.4.3 library of the module com.thoughtworks with the xstream-1.2.2 library of the same module in version 0.6 of SwitchYard.

Thank you,

Ioanna

Ioanna,

Thanks very much for bringing this to our attention.  Would you mind sharing some form of this transformation with us?  I would like to add it to a test in our test suite.

thanks,

Hi,

You can find attached the smooks transformations we are using and the Java objects on which they are applied.

In particular, the TSODATA java object (included in the commondatamodel.rar folder) is the input and output object of our services. The TSODataConfigSmooks.xml transforms the XML playload of the service to TSODATA java object, while the TSODATAReplyConfigSmooks.xml transforms the TSODATA java object to the xml output of the service.

The first transformation works properly. The second one that uses a Freemarker template producess the error.

Also, here is the trasnformations definition in switchyard.xml:

<transform:transform.smooks from="{http://www.openuri.org/}generatePrepaidOrderId" to="java:com.accenture.assets.sdp.commondatamodel.asynch.TSODATA" type="XML2JAVA" config="smooks/TSODataConfigSmooks.xml"/>

<transform:transform.smooks from="java:com.accenture.assets.sdp.commondatamodel.asynch.TSODATA" to="{http://www.openuri.org/}generatePrepaidOrderIdResponse" type="SMOOKS" config="smooks/TSODataReplyConfigSmooks.xml"/>

**generatePrepaidOrderId one of the operations where the trasnformations are applied.

Let me know in case you need any more information.

Thank you,

Ioanna
