Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) provides a Java API for calling Web services, hiding the details of how the service is provided, i.e.g., via SOAP, JMS, etc. This document The following guide describes the ServiceMix components that integrate with the Apache Web Service Invocation Framework (WSIF) to perform web service invocations using a number of different implementation protocols such as Axis, local Java, EJB, JMS, JCA and CCI.
The WSIF example illustrates the following:
- an example of declarative programming
- how to enable a expose web service to be exposed over a JMS queue through WSIF
NoteNOTE: This is not a complete and , working example. Rather, it illustrates how WSIF can be used in a ServiceMix component and used , through a typical and realistic web application. The following components in the diagram have not been completely implemented:
...
This example shows critical code snippets from a larger example, which can be found at Apache Web Services Project. A client application submits a zip code ZIP Code to a Web Services application via a JMS queue. The web service then checks if DSL service is available in the zip code ZIP Code area and responds to the client, also by sending a JMS message. The client software uses WSIF to hide the implementation details of JMS.
In the ServiceMix example, the WSIF API is used by the client to make the zip code ZIP Code request to the web service. The WSIF API takes care of the JMS details of JMS for the client . Instead of JMS, (although other transport mechanisms could have been used, such as SOAP, JCA, etc., could have been used). The ServiceMix WSIF API provides a single API to the client and handles the details of the web service invocation for the client, simplifying the client code.
The example also shows an important feature of the ServiceMix Client API - how to bind a WSDL file for a web service, which is adorned with includes additional WSIF additional metadata to configure the service implementation. In other words, the service.wsdl file contains WSIF extensions to WSDL that bind the web service to the transport protocol. Some of the coding details will be shown later in this document.

The diagram below illustrates the example program's logical flow of the example program:

The logical flow of the program isFollowing, are the details of example program's logic flow:
- A user opens a web browser and accesses a web form with a "zip code" input field and a submit button. The submit button sends the form and the zip code typed in ZIP Code entered by the user to a Servicemix HTTP binding component.
- The ServiceMix HTTP binding component creates an InOut exchange message through the client API. The message is sent through the NMR to the checkAvailability component.
- The checkAvailability component sends the request to the JMS queue.
- The web service is implemented with as a message-driven EJB (MDB), who's "onMessage" method is listening for messages on the queue.
- The MDB , processes the request and sends back a response to the checkAvailability component through a temporary queue. The response is either "true" (DSL service is available) or "false" (DSL service is not available).
- The checkAvailability component receives the response from the queue.
- The checkAvailability component responds to the HTTP client.
- The HTTP client sends the result back to the web form. The value of the result property is displayed and lets the user know whether or not DSL is available in the specified zip code area.

MDB | This message driven bean MDB is the actual implementation of the service. It acts like a message listener on the queue specified in the config files. When a message is delivered, it extracts the body which is a zip codeZIP Code. It then applies some logic to determine whether DSL service is available at this zip code ZIP Code or not. For simplicity, it just returns true for all zip codes ZIP Codes < 50000 and false otherwise. The return message is sent to the queue specified in the replyTo field of the request message. Note that the bean NOTE: The MDB must encode the correct JMSCorrelationID in the return message in order for it to be picked up by WSIF. |

Additional Coding Details
The following snippet is from the servicemix.xml file. Note: that the WSIFBinding class has the service.wsdl file as a property.
...
Here Following is an example of how to enable a service to be exposed over a JMS topic or queue. This is a snippet of code from the service.wsdl file. It shows how to configure the JMS binding:
...
...
Here are descriptions of the properties found in the service.wsdl file. The descriptions are quoted from the WSDL Bindings for JMS web page:
- <jms:address> describes a target port that is accessible via JMS.
- destinationStyle must either be queue or topic, although only queue is supported at this time.
- jndiDestinationName is the JNDI name of the JMS queue that WSIF will send requests to.
- jndiConnectionFactoryName is the JNDI name of the connection factory that WSIF will be used.
- jndiProviderURL and initialContextFactory specify which JNDI database to use. If they are not present, WSIF uses the default JNDI.
- jms:binding specifies that this binding is for Native
...
- JMS. The type is the type of the JMS message that will be sent. In this case it will be a text message.
Working with XML versus properties
...
The JBI standard requires encoding WSDL 1.1 parts using an XML encoding mechanism. ServiceMix supports this modelrequirement. However, in addition we ServicMix also allow allows the message properties, of an NMR message, to use the named parts of the service.wsdl file, to avoid unnecessary XML marshalling.
A Java client can be programmed as an alternative way of invoking the web service as opposed to the , in lieu of a web form. The following is a Java client example using the ServiceMix Client API in a WSIF style of workingapproach, passing in and fetching out named parameters. This Java client is performing the role originally assigned to the HTTP Client above. It also needs to be configured (not shown) to communicate to the "checkAvailability" service via the servicemix ServiceMix NMR. In other words, it needs to have "checkAvailability" set as its "destination" for the NMR messages it sends.
