SOAP Headers ============ This demo illustrates Apache CXF's support for SOAP headers. In the WSDL file, the SOAP header is included as an additional part within the message and binding definitions. Using this approach to defining a SOAP header, Apache CXF treats the header content as another parameter to the operation. Consequently, the header content is simply manipulated within the method body. The client application creates the header content, which is simply a string value. The server application views the supplied values and may set these values into the operation's return values or out/inout headers. Please review the README in the samples directory before continuing. Prerequisites ------------- If your environment already includes cxf.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's 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". 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 maven pom.xml file can be used to build and run the demo. Using either UNIX or Windows: mvn install 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". mvn clean Building the demo using wsdl2java and javac ------------------------------------------- From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is located) first create the target directory build/classes and then generate code from the WSDL file. For UNIX: mkdir -p build/classes wsdl2java -d build/classes -compile ./wsdl/soap_header.wsdl For Windows: mkdir build\classes Must use back slashes. wsdl2java -d build\classes -compile .\wsdl\soap_header.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.jar:./build/classes javac -d build/classes src/demo/soap_header/client/*.java javac -d build/classes src/demo/soap_header/server/*.java For Windows: set classpath=%classpath%;%CXF_HOME%\lib\cxf.jar;.\build\classes javac -d build\classes src\demo\soap_header\client\*.java javac -d build\classes src\demo\soap_header\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=$CXF_HOME/etc/logging.properties demo.soap_header.server.Server & java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$CXF_HOME/etc/logging.properties demo.soap_header.client.Client ./wsdl/soap_header.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.soap_header.server.Server java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=%CXF_HOME%\etc\logging.properties demo.soap_header.client.Client .\wsdl\soap_header.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 Building and running the demo in a servlet container ---------------------------------------------------- Please refer to samples directory README for building demo in a servlet container. Using ant, run the client application with the command: ant client-servlet -Dbase.url=http://localhost:# Where # is the TCP/IP port used by the servlet container, e.g., 8080. Or ant client-servlet -Dhost=localhost -Dport=8080 You can ignore the -Dhost and -Dport if your tomcat setup is same, i.e ant client-servlet Using java, run the client application with the command: For UNIX: java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$CXF_HOME/etc/logging.properties demo.soap_header.client.Client http://localhost:#/soapheader/services/soap_header?wsdl For Windows: java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=%CXF_HOME%\etc\logging.properties demo.soap_header.client.Client http://localhost:#/soapheader/services/soap_header?wsdl Where # is the TCP/IP port used by the servlet container, e.g., 8080.
