Clarity on CXF endpoint (Consumer or Provider)

[lekkie_lomotayo]

I assume CXF endpoint available in the FID is a consumer endpoint?

If that is correct, what is the essense of the service class such that it is mandatory?

Is the service class the interface class or the implementation class? I assume its d former if it is a consumer endpoint.

If that is not, then what can I use in the EIP diagram as a consumer endpoint for a soap/http service endpoint.

Kindly help ascertain which is correct and best way to proceed.

Basically what I want to do is

cxf-bc (consumer) -> content-based-route -> cxf-bc (provider)

Have you noticed the Eclipse Cheat Sheet "Creating a CXF component" already (Help -> Cheat Sheets -> FUSE -> Creating a CXF Component)? It outlines the steps needed for using the CXF component.

The Service Class property of the CXF component specifies the class name of the service endpoint interface (SEI) class. In case of using a Java-first approach, this would be the class name of your WSDL service implementation class. In case of WSDL-first it would be the generated Java interface that maps to the WSDL port type definition.

Check the cheat sheet, it will hopefully be clear thereafter.

Thanks for the response.

How do I get to the Eclipse Cheat Sheet?

Help > Cheat Sheets...

Then pick FUSE

I have seen it. Thanks.

But when I click on it (

In the main toolbar, click on the File > New > Spring Bean Configuration File), nothin happens.

When I follow it, I get a dialog asking me to add the name of a Spring configuration file. Tell me, are you running the fuse.exe, or did you update a base installation of Eclipse from the update site?
