Invoking an external Web Service with CXF-BC

[balamsoft]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to FUSE ESB. I'm trying to invoke an external Web Service via a CXF BC (provider) with FUSE ESB 3. However, I haven't been able to make it work. The logs doesn't show anything at all (no error or success messages).

I know the Web Service is not being reached because there's no SOAP response and my WS doesn't insert a database record (which is part of its work).

I found in the documentation that:

- wsdl refers to classpath:path/to/wsdl/file or http://path/to/wsdl/file

- service refers to <wsdl_targetnamespace>:<service/@name>

- endpoint refers to <service/port/@name>

- interfaceName corresponds to <wsdl_targetnamespace>:<portType/@name>

Is this correct?

This is the code of my provider service unit:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

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

       xmlns:odews="http://efs.comfin.ge.com/ws/ode_wf/service"

       xmlns:xsi="http://http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

       xsi:schemaLocation="http://servicemix.apache.org/cxfbc/1.0 servicemix-cxf-bc.xsd

       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd">

And the WSDL of my web service:

<wsdl:definitions name="ode_wf_ext"

     targetNamespace="http://efs.comfin.ge.com/ws/ode_wf/service"

     xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"

     xmlns:tns="http://efs.comfin.ge.com/ws/ode_wf/service"

     xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

     xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/">

</wsdl:binding>

...

<wsdl:operation name="send_email">

     <soap:operation

          soapAction="http://efs.comfin.ge.com/ws/ode_wf/service/send_email" />

          <wsdl:input>

               <soap:body use="literal" />

          </wsdl:input>

          <wsdl:output>

               <soap:body use="literal" />

          </wsdl:output>

     </wsdl:operation>

</wsdl:binding>

<wsdl:service name="ode_wf_ext">

     <wsdl:port name="ode_wf_extSOAP" binding="tns:ode_wf_extSOAP">

          <soap:address

               location="http://dev.efs.comfin.ge.com:80/axis2/services/ode_wf_ext/" />

     </wsdl:port>

</wsdl:service>

</wsdl:definitions>

I have been struggling with this SU for quite a time... and I still don't have a clue.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Angel

My guess is whatever is suppose to invoke on the CXF BC is never reaching it. Can you attach a debugger and follow the message through a flow? What does your flow look like?
