Apache WebServices - Apache WSRF

Apache WSRF is a robust Java implementation of the Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF) family of specifications.

WSRF defines a generic and open framework for modeling and accessing stateful resources using Web services. This includes mechanisms to describe views on the state, to support management of the state through properties associated with the Web service, and to describe how these mechanisms are extensible to groups of Web services.

Apache WSRF includes the following features:

• A handler and service framework that supports: the WSRF implied resource pattern for dispatching requests to specific WS-Resources; dispatching to Java service methods based on either outermost SOAP body element name or value of wsa:Action header element; and schema validation of request XML
• a WSDL to Java generator that will generate the classes and configuration entries from a WSRF WSDL that are required to deploy it as a service to the above framework. The WSDL to Java generator also uses Apache XMLBeans to create Java bindings for custom types defined in the WSDL.
• full implementations of all portTypes defined by the WS-ResourceProperties, WS-ResourceLifetime, and WS-MetadataExchange specifications
• and more...
