Apache axis, JAX-RPC, JAXR, JAXM, JAX-WS, JAXB, and Metro

Are all of the following the different APIs for creating web service applicaton?
Apache axis,
JAX-RPC,
JAXR,
JAXM,
JAX-WS,
JAXB, and
Metro
--If so, which one(s) are most widely used?
--If not, what are the differences among them?
Thanks
Scott

I think your are looking for a full web services framework.
Apache axis --> Is a WS framework. implements jax-rpc. Provides some features on its own
JAX-RPC --> Is a WS framework specification. Your application servers/axis implement this.
JAXR --> not an web-service api, rather a web-service registry access api
JAXM --> Is an api for xml messaging. Your framework provider may use this.
JAX-WS --> Is jax-rpc 2.0. Your application server provider will give implementation for this. Otherwise you can use xfire/metro as the implementation. Chose this over jax-rpc.
JAXB, --> Is used for xml-java binding. Jax-ws uses this. But not specific to jax-ws..
Metro --> Reference implementation for jax-ws.
All in all jax-rpc, jax-ws and axis2 are three options. go for jax-ws if you do not have any other constraints.As for selcting implementation of jax-ws, if you are working on an app-server (and not on a simple servlet container or without a server), server vendor will provide that. Otherwise look for xfire or metro.

Is JAX-RPC compatible with Apache Axis?

We are starting a new project, and our design goal is to develop server-side API that is the exposed via Web Services. The goal is to have them run within the Sun Reference Implementation, and within Apache Axis.
My question is, if we develop to the JAX-RPC Specification, with occasional SAAJ calls for attachment processing, will our Web Services run within Apache Axis? In other words, it Apache Axis JAX-RPC and SAAJ-compatible?

It seems that the way they handle Attachments is different. Apache Axis seems to have its own way of handling Attachments, even though it is possible that they also support the standard JAX-RPC way.
Generally speaking, I am not very happy with how JAX-RPC handles attachments, but this is a different subject.

JAX-RPC or JAXM or AXIS/GLUE

Hello,
I am starting with webservices and am confused with all the APIs out there. Should I start with JAX-RPC or JAXM to develop/consume webservices? Do I need SOAP implementations like AXIS or GLUE?
Please Help !!!
-ss

Yes, it's pretty overwhelming when you're first starting out. My suggestion is to start with JAX-RPC because:
1. it's easy to understand
2. most existing web services are RPC-based
3. there are many nice tools to help you create JAX-RPC based services
Now you can decide which JAX-RPC implementation to use. Both JWSDP and Axis have JAX-RPC implementations. JWSDP is nice everything-rolled-into-one installation, so it's a good platform for learning (the tutorial version 1.2 isn't available yet but most of the 1.1 tutorial applies to JWSDP 1.2). Just download the JWSDP 1.2 installation package and the tutorial and you're ready to go (Tomcat is bundled with the JWSDP).
However, I believe that many more commercial web service implementations are based on Axis than JWSDP. If you plan on deploying web services yourself, you may want familiarize yourself with Axis. Just download and install Tomcat, then download and install Axis. The axis-user mailing list at http://ws.apache.org/axis/mail.html is very helpful.
And don't worry too much about which package is better. Any services you develop with either platform can be ported unchanged to the other.
Good luck,
Mike

Jax-ws and apache axis

This is a newbie question. Can you tell me the difference between jax-ws and apache axis. Is it possible to build web services just using jax-ws and not apache axis. What would be advantages and disadvantages.
Thanks.

Yeah you can just use jax ws:http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/jax_ws_2/
I find it more intuitive. Some would tell you that axis is more bloated :http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnetinterop/archive/2008/07/30/changing-of-the-guard-axis-out-jaxws-in.aspx
I would rather decide between jax ws and REST :https://blogs.oracle.com/enterprisetechtips/entry/implementing_restful_web_services_in

OC4j-Apache Axis

Hi,
I have Axis integrated with Oc4j. But in my application I have custom complex datatypes & not direct JavaBeans only. For implementing Jax-rpc I believe the only solution out there is to write a custom serializer/deserializer with Axis. I am running in to issues with the same.
Axis example wasent sufficient to explain how to implement it.
Request :- If sombody has has any examples or prior knowledge could you share with me, also if someone could point out if there is a discussion forum for Apache Axis, strange as it might sound I havent found any!!
Gaurav

Hello,
Your question is directly related to Axis stack. As you did, you can deploy and execute Axis Web services on OC4J. Some Axis use are probably monitorin this forum but you will have more chance to get an answer by using Apache Axis mailing lists and forum since your question is not related to OC4J or Oracle Web Services.

Problem calling BPEL process using apache axis client

We have a BPEL process which we are trying to call from apache axis client. The problem is when we execute "call.invoke(new Object[] { xmlStr }) ", it adds an "argo" element to the message, and the xpath is unable to evaluate the message.
We are able to call the process fron .Net and VB 6 using soap toolkit without any problem, so it seems odd we are not able to do so from apache axis.
Here is how it should be received by the BPEL process:
<inputVariable>
     <part xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="payload">
          <Request xmlns="http://e1.oracle.com/IAM">
               <MessageHeader>
                    <Operation>update</Operation>
               </MessageHeader>
               <MessageDetail xmlns="">
                    <szSecondaryUoM_UOM2/>
               </MessageDetail>
          </Request>
     </part>
</inputVariable>
But this is the way it is received having been sent from apache axis (notice the arg0 element) :
<inputVariable>
     <part xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="payload">
          <arg0 xsi:type="xsd:string" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/InventoryAdjustment" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
               <Request xmlns="http://e1.oracle.com/IAM">
                    <MessageHeader>
                         <Operation>update</Operation>
                    </MessageHeader>
                    <MessageDetail xmlns="">
                         <szSecondaryUoM_UOM2/>
                    </MessageDetail>
               </Request>
          </arg0>
     </part>

Just a tip: Use a tool as SoapUI to findout the correct SOAP request and related attributes for the SOAP request.

I am using Apache Axis, how can i embed DataHeader{HeaderUsername, HeaderPassword} in my request? Thanks,

I can generate the code from .wsdl by using JAP+RPC, but there is not Header class in the code. Any help?

Apache axis deserialization problem

Can anybody help?
We are using Apache's Axis web service framework for consuming web services. One of the web services has "nested" or complex types in the response, and the Axis framework is not processing it properly.
Is there something that we need to configure to get this to work? Any suggestions are much appreciated.
It gives the following message:

I am having the same problem as you describe.
Checkout out this link:
http://dev-forums.ebay.com/thread.jsp?forum=1002&thread=100000782
It talks about adding the following to the complex type defintion in the WSDL
<xsd:any processContents = "lax"/>
The good news is this solved the exception problem.
The bad news is that my complex objects are not being deserialed. I've posted to the AXIS users mailing list.
Here is what I posted:
Hi,
I need a little help getting started with AXIS.
I've done some SOAP web services development a few years back using SUN JAXM, but I will be using AXIS for a webservice project in the near term.
In order to get familiar with AXIS I did the GOOGLE thing and aquired a sample WDSL to try out.
I am using 1.2RC3 version of AXIS with Tomcat 5.0.28.

After a little searching I found some info that led me to change the WSDL a little. I redefined the "PhotoInfo" type as follows
<xsd:element name="PhotoInfo">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="customerName" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="photoID" type="xsd:int"/>
<xsd:any processContents = "lax"/>

Now there is no exception thrown, but the PhotoInfo and photo objects are not deserialized. I get null values passed to the PhotoCatalogBindingImpl class.
I noticed that an org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement[] object and associated methods was added to the PhotoInfo class, which I assume is due to adding the <xsd:any processContents = "lax"/> line to the WSDL.
Here is the PhotoInfo and PhotoCatalogBindingImpl class source for reference:

I guess my questions are as follows:
1. Why is exception thrown in the first scenario? Is there something wrong with the WSDL? I guess there is, but I can't figure it out.
2. When the change is made to the WDSL(adding <xsd:any processContents = "lax"/>) is there something that I need to add to the PhotoInfo class
to process the org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement[] object. Do I need to "manually" parse that object in the PhotoCatalogBindingImpl class to get
the values of customerName and photoID?
Any other help would be appreciated..

Web Services with Apache Axis plugin Weblogic

Hi,
I am a newbie to Web Services & Apache Axis. I have plugged in Apache Axis with
Weblogic 6.1. I wanted to know whether an architecture of the following is possible.
Web Services published on Apache Axis wrapped on SessionBeans on Weblogic 6.1.
Also can I get some docs, samples that can help me.
Any help is appreciated.
Meghna

Hi Meghna,
hmmm...if you are going to start off with webservices, why not go with
the very best available: WLS 8.1 has:
- much better schema coverage,
- rpc, doc-literal and doc-literal-wrapped style
- async client
- jms transport
- security and RM
- many new ant tasks
See the full list: http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/webservices.html
All the features...plus outstanding performance and our award winning
support.

Applet and JavaWebService on Apache-Axis (SOAP)

Hello!
I have build a java-applet - it works fine.
Then I have installed tomcat with axis and I developed a very easy JavaWebService.
For better understanding: I saved the class:
public class test
public double testMethode( String job, double x )
    if( "Quadrat".equalsIgnoreCase( job ) )
      return x * x;
    if( "Sqrt".equalsIgnoreCase( job ) )
      return Math.sqrt( x );
    return 0.;
}in my apache-tomcat-(with axis)-directory as ../apache-tomcat/webapps/axis/test.jws. I do all the things I describe here on my "localhost".
Then I appended the following code to my applet:
Object webservicereturn=null;
try{
        String wsEndpoint = "http://localhost:8080/axis/test.jws";
        String wsMethod   = "testMethode";
**** Service service    = new Service(); *********************************************
        Call    call       = (Call)service.createCall();
        call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new URL( wsEndpoint ) );
        call.setOperationName( wsMethod );
        call.addParameter( "job", Constants.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN );
        call.addParameter( "x",   Constants.XSD_DOUBLE, ParameterMode.IN );
        call.setReturnType( Constants.XSD_DOUBLE );
        webservicereturn = call.invoke( new Object[] { "Sqrt", new Double( "12.7" ) } );
    catch(Exception ex) {}
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(webservicereturn.toString() ... );When I start the applet as a java-application the JOptionPane contains the expected value.
THE PROBLEM:
When I start the applet as an applet in my firefox there is no JOptionPane but a beautiful security-exception:

I thought that my applet can connect to the same server where it comes from (in this case my localhost).
I am wondering about why the exception is just caused by the instruction "new Service();".
What must I type in my code that also the applet can use the local web-service "test" ???? What is wrong?
Thanks for answering ...

Package org.apache.axis.message not found in import.

Hi,
I am using axis to give response to another bpel process after any operation is completed of a BPEL process.I am using JDeveloper to deploy my bpel process.It has succesfully deployed process without any error but when bpel server is unpacking it and deploying it to oc4j,it get error:
Package org.apache.axis.message not found in import.

I have manually copied all axis jars to
1)OraBPEL\integration\orabpel\system\appserver\oc4j\j2ee\home\applib
2)OraBPEL\integration\orabpel\lib
But no use.
Can anybody help!

I've put a lot og jar files in the bpel-inf/lib but it looks as if they are not in the class path when I need them. The result is a ClassNotFoundException? Do I have to specify anything else? I've put a class in the bpel-inf/classes and it looks to me as if it is found by the BPM.

Error: 'enum' is a keyword in jdk 1.5 org.apache.axis.enum package

Hello
I got an error when i am using jdk1.5 .
Error: 'enum' is a keyword in org.apache.axis.enum package
Please any one give a hint to solve this problem.
Thanks
Ramki

rename all references in your generated code from
org.apache.axis.enum
to
org.apache.axis.constants
The types have been replicated in the constants package.
Now if I could only get my damn eclipse soap tool to stop using org.apache.axis.enum

Org.apache.axis.types.URI$MalformedURIException: No scheme found in URI

Hi,
We are running PI 7.11 and we installed Axis libraries icluding addressing-1.1.1.jar. The following refers to Receiver SOAP adapter with Axis protocol.
Before we had the addressing capabilities, we used the handler type "java:com.sap.aii.axis.soap.HeaderInsertionHandler" to include the <wsa:Action> and <wsa:To> tags on the header of the web service call, and it was working fine. Now, with the addressing libraries, we are using handler type "java:org.apache.axis.message.addressing.handler.AddressingHandler" so that those tags can be inserted automatically, but we get the error:
Axis: error in invocation: org.apache.axis.types.URI$MalformedURIException: No scheme found in URI.
It seems that this handler is not inserting the correct URL. Or is it something else? Do we need to add any more lines to the Module Configuration, or the handler type for the Addressing Handler should be enough?
Thanks for your help,
Miguel
Edited by: Miguel Chaves on Oct 4, 2010 4:59 PM

Hi Yza,
Thanks for the response. Actually I didn't think it could be the soap action. The soap action is simply GetFile, that's what I have on the communicatoin channel configuration when I get the error . And when I use the Header Insertion Handler instead of the Addressing Handler, this is what I insert on the module configuration:
<wsa:Action xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">GetFile</wsa:Action>
And this works.
What do you mean by valid URI value? Isn't GetFile a valid URI value? What should I put on the SOAP action field of the communication channel configuration, then, if this is the SOAP action that comes in the WSDL?
Another question: Where can I get the stack trace?
Thanks,
Miguel

Hi,
Unable to access workspace. I have tried reconfiguring web server also it has not worked.
If i try the work space using URL "http://<Server Name>:19000/workspace/" it throws the following error:-
==================
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
===================
Can you please advise

Java, RSS Feed writer and Apache Axis

Hi all,
I wasn't sure in which subforum this question belongs, so I decided on this one :)
I downloaded a RSS feed writer from http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0608.html
The example provided works perfectly when I have a 'dynamic web project', however, I then continue to create a new class in a different package of the same project. When I turn this class into a web service (using Apache Axis), then the test case RSS writer from the other package stops working. The exception thrown is this:
javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: Can not write DOCTYPE declaration (DTD) when not in prolog any more (state 2; start element(s) written)
     at com.ctc.wstx.sw.BaseStreamWriter.verifyWriteDTD(BaseStreamWriter.java:1410)
     at com.ctc.wstx.sw.BaseStreamWriter.writeDTD(BaseStreamWriter.java:561)

     at mypackage.RSSWriter.write(RSSWriter.java:34)
     at mypackage.TestRSSWriter.main(TestRSSWriter.java:44)
Update: Someone recommended I try using Rome instead to generate RSS feeds. I'll give it a bash now.

It appears that someone (you?) has signed a class in the package org.apache.axis.utils.Messages
with a signature that does not match other clasees in the package.
If you didn't do it, check with Apache (or whoever you got the package from.)
