JAX-WS Asynchronous Demo using Document/Literal Style ===================================================== This demo illustrates the use of the JAX-WS asynchronous invocation model. Please refer to the JAX-WS 2.0 specification (http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityProcess/pfd/jsr224/index.html) for background. The asynchronous model allows the client thread to continue after making a two-way invocation without being blocked while awaiting a response from the server. Once the response is available, it is delivered to the client application asynchronously using one of two alternative approaches: - Callback: the client application implements the javax.xml.ws.AsyncHandler interface to accept notification of the response availability - Polling: the client application periodically polls a javax.xml.ws.Response instance to check if the response is available This demo illustrates both approaches. Additional methods are generated on the Service Endpoint Interface (SEI) to provide this asynchrony, named by convention with the suffix "Async". As many applications will not require this functionality, the asynchronous variants of the SEI methods are omitted by default to avoid polluting the SEI with unnecessary baggage. In order to enable generation of these methods, a bindings file (wsdl/async_bindings.xml) is passed to the wsdl2java generator. Please review the README in the samples directory before continuing. Prerequisite ------------ If your environment already includes cxf-manifest.jar on the CLASSPATH, and the JDK and ant bin directories on the PATH it is not necessary to set the environment as described in the samples directory README. If your environment is not properly configured, or if you are planning on using wsdl2java, javac, and java to build and run the demos, you must set the environment. Building and running the demo using Ant --------------------------------------- From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is located), the Ant build.xml file can be used to build and run the demo. The server and client targets automatically build the demo. Using either UNIX or Windows: ant server (from one command line window) ant client (from a second command line window) To remove the code generated from the WSDL file and the .class files, run "ant clean". Building and running the demo using Maven --------------------------------------- From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is located), the pom.xml file is used to build and run the demo. Using either UNIX or Windows: mvn install (builds the demo) mvn -Pserver (from one command line window) mvn -Pclient (from a second command line window) To remove the code generated from the WSDL file and the .class files, run "mvn clean". Building the demo using wsdl2java and javac ------------------------------------------- From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is located), run the following wsdl2java command to generate classes required in the async case. For UNIX: mkdir -p build/classes wsdl2java -d build/classes -b ./wsdl/async_binding.xml -compile ./wsdl/hello_world_async.wsdl For Windows: mkdir build\classes Must use back slashes. wsdl2java -d build\classes -b .\wsdl\async_binding.xml -compile .\wsdl\hello_world_async.wsdl May use either forward or back slashes. Now compile the provided client and server applications with the commands: For UNIX: export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$CXF_HOME/lib/cxf-manifest.jar:./build/classes javac -d build/classes src/demo/hw/client/*.java javac -d build/classes src/demo/hw/server/*.java For Windows: set classpath=%classpath%;%CXF_HOME%\lib\cxf-manifest.jar;.\build\classes javac -d build\classes src\demo\hw\client\*.java javac -d build\classes src\demo\hw\server\*.java Running the demo using java --------------------------- From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is located) run the commands, entered on a single command line: For UNIX (must use forward slashes): java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$CXF_HOME/etc/logging.properties demo.hw.server.Server & java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$CXF_HOME/etc/logging.properties demo.hw.client.Client ./wsdl/hello_world_async.wsdl The server process starts in the background. After running the client, use the kill command to terminate the server process. For Windows (may use either forward or back slashes): start java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=%CXF_HOME%\etc\logging.properties demo.hw.server.Server java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=%CXF_HOME%\etc\logging.properties demo.hw.client.Client .\wsdl\hello_world_async.wsdl A new command windows opens for the server process. After running the client, terminate the server process by issuing Ctrl-C in its command window. To remove the code generated from the WSDL file and the .class files, either delete the build directory and its contents or run: ant clean
