jruby and SOAP

[Marco Dohnke]

Hello all,

after trying one day to get jruby working with axis or actionwebservice,
I asked myself if I am the only who is trying to work with this
combination. Does anyone use SOAP web services with jruby (on Rails) ?
Which environment is usual for this?

thanks so far,
MD

TorqueBox is building soap support (at least serverside so far) on  
Apache CXF. We will address soap clients in a little while.

I have had successes with JRuby and SOAP by using the Mule ESB client library - My write-up of that is part of the Enterprise Java chapter of the JRuby Cookbook, pub O'Reilly.

Hi,

thanks for your answers. TorqueBox is unfortunately not a solution for
me because I am using glassfish, not JBoss. But I will keep that in mind.

Regrettably, I do not have the Jruby Cookbook, so I cannot test the mule
examples. Google books shows only a little part of this chapter. This
part does not help me.

At the moment I am trying something with Metro which is included in
glassfish. Maybe I am able to build a bridge between Java (Annotations)
and jruby.

If anyone else has an idea, please do not hesitate to tell me.

Thanks so far.
MD

Creating a soap client from wsdl file using axis2 wsdl2java works without
much hassle.

For SOAP clients, we have been using Ruby SOAP on JRuby without any problem.  Ruby SOAP is a lot simpler to use compared to any Java variants.  This is an example call in just a few lines:

require 'net/http'
require 'soap/wsdlDriver'

rpc_soap_client = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl_url).create_rpc_driver
response = rpc_soap_client.search request_parameters


The original question seems to be about server-side, though, which we still use pure Java, not JRuby.

Cheers,
Chiaming Hsu

Thanks for your little example. My problem lies more on the server side.
Consuming SOAP Services is possible with the ideas you gave me.
Providing services has often a bigger context. Either I have to use an
application server or another kind of server which is publishing the
services. In my context I have to use something to interact with Java.
So an application server is the best choice.

Thanks for your ideas!

I am using actionwebservice to provide SOAP services to my clients.
It works OK but it's limited and it might work with Jruby.

However my clients are increasing demanding more "enterprisey"
functionality like wssec FIPS compliant encryption etc.    Also
actionwebservice does not allow for optional fields (one fork of it
does but I can't seem to get that fork to work with rails 2.3 and my
plugins).

I too would appreciate any points, hints, caviats, code snippets,
anything at all.

I want to be able to provide a robust set of SOAP services to along
with my rails apps and actionwebservice is falling a little short due
to neglect.

I would be willing to move my SOAP services to another rails app
running on jruby if I could do this.

P.S.

I am pretty sure I will be required to use the pgp commercial
libraries which are written in C for the encryption and decryption so
that might also provide a hurdle.

Thanks in advance for any help anybody could provide me.

Have a look at how TorqueBox allows you to provide SOAP services from  
within your application:

        http://torquebox.org/documentation/browse/1.0.0.Beta13/soap-endpoints.html

We support WS-Security to some extent (more as use-cases and users  
demand), including X.509 signature verification.  We also help  
databind your WSDL to friendly ruby objects so they're easy to play  
with, and the services themselves appear not unlike Rails controllers  
with each soap operation mapping to a method on your class.

I did look at it. It certainly looks like it could be very useful.  I
noticed that the documentation says outgoing encryption is not
supported and that's something I will need to do for sure.

I have also been looking at wso2 http://wso2.org/.

In either case I haven't figured out how I could use the pgp C library yet.
