Ben

Instead of CXF generate the wsdl on the fly and have that displayed on the UI when we go to below url.
http://localhost:7001/authManager/services/servicename?wsdl
Is there a way to generate one using java2wsdl and package it in the war and have url refer to the packaged wsdl rather than auto-generated wsdl?

One difference i am seeing between the two wsdl is the one CXF generates automatically imports another wsdl that has types, messages and operations defined in it.

Hello, Ben..
first of all: thanks for the great article!

Can you help with this error:

WARNING: Interceptor has thrown exception, unwinding now
org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Could not send Message.
at $Proxy45.getEmployee(Unknown Source)

I think it’s a java doubt and not ws: How can I put a Employee, so when I call (AuthService) factory.create().getEmployee(“0223938″) it returns the right Employee and not the Unknown Source Error?

Thanks in advance!

I was looking for articles on how to deploy cxf on a web server instead of an Endpoint.publish on a single port.

I was able to run your sample on Apache Tomcat. It worked with multiple webservices on the same tomcat port.

Great tutorial.

Thanks a lot!

Is that a valid procedure to create a cxf client for a web service exposed by other platform as .net??

I faced the same problem that Dom was facing earlier “org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Marshalling Error:”. I know the post is very old but I am putting here the solution that worked for me for the benefit of anyone else who is stuck with the same problem. The problem for me was that the default constructor was not defined and ObjectInstatntiation was failing. The default data binding class was not giving a very friendly message but when i changed to aegis it gave me an InstantiationException.

Hi Ben,

I was trying to run the above example. I am getting the following error. I am using cxt 2.2.3. I have all the jars .

deploy\Hygeia.war\WEB-INF\lib\geronimo-servlet_2.5_spec-1.2.jar) – jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class

In the web.xml ,I have added the following tags to the existing ones.

contextConfigLocation
classpath:com/company/auth/service/cxf.xml

CXFServlet
org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet

CXFServlet
/services/*

Any Ideas please???

great tutorial!!! it worked first time, out of the box – using tomcat 6.0, cxf2.3.

10 minutes to get it up and running.

many thanks!

Ok problem solved … thing is that if you’re using Aegis on the Server Side, you also have to use it on the Client side.

A single line of code did the trick:

proxyFactory.setDataBinding(new AegisDatabinding());

ICE-LIGHT, in Java, you must import all referenced classes that are located in a different package.
