Hello world demo of Axis 1 ( Axis1 ) setup on Spring Boot 1.5.x.
See tag spring_1.3.x for integration with Spring Boot 1.3.x
cd spring-axis-1
mvn clean package
java -jar target/spring-axis-1.jar
or simply run
WebApplication.java
New Apache Axis provider was created in order to provide Spring DI integration. Implementation of this provider is defined by SpringRPCProvider class.
Before the new provider can be used it needs to be registered in Axis. This is done by WSDDSpringRPCProvider class when Spring application context emits ContextRefreshedEvent.
In order to configure service so that it utilize SpringRPCProvider you need following xml in your wsdd file:
<service name="service-managed-by-spring-di" provider="java:SpringRPC">
<parameter name="className" value="local.spring.axis.service.ServiceManagedBySpringDI"/>
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/>
</service>
With this configuration, whenever Apache Axis has to invoke method on service-managed-by-spring-di service, it will use SpringRPCProvider to obtain instance of the service from dependency container. The instance will be searched by the given class name.
If you want to lookup service instance by qualifier you may use following configuration:
<service name="service-managed-by-spring-di" provider="java:SpringRPC">
<parameter name="qualifier" value="someServiceQualifier"/>
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/>
</service>
In case of executable jar packages with embedded tomcat there was an issue: Axis couldn't load server-wsdd.xml config file from jar. In order to fix this new implementation of EngineConfigurationFactory was introduced which additionally uses class loader to load resources from class path.
To see list of available services you may open following url: http://localhost:8080/axis
If you want to download wsdl file for specific service you may use following url template http://localhost:8080/axis/<SERVICE_NAME>?wsdl, i.e. to get wsdl for Version service you should use http://localhost:8080/axis/Version?wsdl.
Axis 1 comes with AdminClient which you may use to deploy wsdd files. For details see Axis User's Guide.
