Introduction

ServiceMix supports SOAP with Attachments for Java (SAAJ) and Apache Axis.

Invoking Web Services Using SAAJ

ServiceMix includes a component for invoking web services using SAAJ and Axis via JBI, as an InOut message exchange. The InOut message exchange pattern (MEP) is a request response pattern where the output message is replaced by a fault, if the message is not successful. For more details on the InOut MEP please see JSR 208. The following example invokes a web service to ask for a stock price:

{snippet:id=saaj|lang=xml|url=servicemix/smx3/trunk/common/servicemix-components/src/test/resources/org/apache/servicemix/components/saaj/example.xml}

To invoke this function, pass the following request body:

{snippet:id=request|lang=xml|url=servicemix/smx3/trunk/common/servicemix-components/src/test/resources/org/apache/servicemix/components/saaj/request.xml}

Below is the expected response:

{snippet:id=example|lang=xml|url=servicemix/smx3/trunk/common/servicemix-components/src/test/resources/org/apache/servicemix/components/saaj/response.xml}
