Expose a webservice

[anirban.gupta4]

Hi,

I am exposing a webservice by creating cxf beans and then adding the appropriate entry in camel routes, but I found another way of exposing webservices using jaxws:endpoint. Can anyone kindly say me the difference between the two?

Regards,

Anirban.

Hi,

cxf:cxfEndpoint way belong to camel-cxf component, though it can expose a webservice, the main purpose of it is wire  incoming webservice message(soap in most cases) into  camel router for further operation.

jaxws:endpoint expose a  cxf webservice, all further operations are in cxf scope only.

That means if I have a requirment of exposing a consumer webservice in camel so that clients can invoke my service, perform my routing and transformations in Camel and then call a backend webservice, it could be done if the consumer is a cxf:endpoint as jaxws endpoint will not expose the service to camel routes, right?

Hi,

Yep, exactly.
