How to call external web service from Fuse ESB

[jayasreeb]

Hi

Could you provide me an example of calling external web service from FUSE ESB?What are the steps involved in it?

Hi,

I submitted a test case for this at apache - Have a look at

SERVICEMIX_SRC_DIRECTORTY\deployables\bindingcomponents\servicemix-cxf-bc\src\test\java\org\apache\servicemix\cxfbc\provider\CxfBCSEProviderSystemTest.java

You need to setup the Cxf-bc provider

Create your archtype for the service-unit and in the pom indicatate that its the servicemix-cxf-bc component that you are going to use.

So effectively your project should have

pom

src/main/resources/xbean.xml

src/main/resources/warehouse.wsdl (wsdl for your service)

An example xbean.xml I have connecting to a warehouseService.

"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns:cxfbc="http://servicemix.apache.org/cxfbc/1.0"

xmlns:ware="http://logisticx.demo.fuse.iona.com/warehouseService/">

<cxfbc:provider service="ware:WarehouseService"

endpoint="WarehouseEndpoint" useJBIWrapper="false"

wsdl="classpath:warehouse.wsdl"           

locationURI="http://localhost:8080/warehouse/services/warehouse"/>

</beans>

"

Hope this helps, Edell.

Hi

As per my understanding no need to write any java code if I am going to simply call the external web service.

I need to create servicemix-cxf-bc which includes pom,xbean and wsdl of external web service.I need to add this to service assembly and deploy it in servicemix.

If this is the case then how will I be testing the whole scenario of invoking external web service from Fuse?

If my requirement is like that I will be getting response back from External Web service then what are the steps do i need to follow?
