Deploy CXF-JCA RAR.

cxf-integration-jca module has implemented the JCA1.5 outbound connection. You can see samples in $CXF_HOME/samples/integration/jca.

Build CXF-JCA RAR

The jca rar package structure would be:

    |---META-INF
    |---META-INF/ra.xml
    |---cxf-api-2.1-incubator.jar
    |---cxf-integration-jca-2.1-incubator.jar
    |---.....
    

Refer to this build.xml "generate.rar" target for building rar detail.

Deploy RAR to JBOSS.

deploy the standalone RAR.

1. You need to put below jars in the $JBOSS_HOME/lib/endorsed.
   • geronimo-activation_1.1_spec-1.0-M1.jar
   • geronimo-annotation_1.0_spec-1.1.jar
   • geronimo-ws-metadata_2.0_spec-1.1.1.jar
   • jaxb-api-2.1.jar
   • jaxb-impl-2.1.4.jar
   • jaxb-xjc-2.1.4.jar
   • jsr181-api-1.0-MR1.jar
   • saaj-api-1.3.jar
   • saaj-impl-1.3.jar
   • stax-api-1.0.1.jar
   • stax-utils-20060502.jar
2. Copy the rar to the $JBOSS_HOME/server/default
3. Create the cxfj2ee_1_5-ds.xml as below, and copy it to $JBOSS_HOME/server/default

   <!DOCTYPE connection-factories
       PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS JCA Config 1.5//EN"
       "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-ds_1_5.dtd">
   <connection-factories>
     <no-tx-connection-factory>
       <jndi-name>CXFConnector</jndi-name>
       <rar-name>cxf.rar</rar-name>
       <connection-definition>org.apache.cxf.connector.CXFConnectionFactory</connection-definition>
     </no-tx-connection-factory>
   </connection-factories>
   

You can refer to jca sample's README for detail.

Deploy RAR to Weblogic.

Deploy to WebSphere.

Using JCA Connection.

Get Connection from ManagedConnectionFactory.

Below is the code snippet to get the Connection.

        URL wsdl = getClass().getResource("/wsdl/hello_world.wsdl");                
        CXFConnectionRequestInfo cri = new CXFConnectionRequestInfo(Greeter.class, 
                                           wsdl,
                                           serviceName,
                                           portName);
        ManagedConnectionFactory managedFactory = new ManagedConnectionFactoryImpl();
        Subject subject = new Subject();
        ManagedConnection mc = managedFactory.createManagedConnection(subject, cri);        
        Object o = mc.getConnection(subject, cri);

Also can get the connection without wsdl, but you need to provide the address.

        CXFConnectionRequestInfo requestInfo = new CXFConnectionRequestInfo();
        requestInfo.setInterface(Greeter.class);
        requestInfo.setAddress("http://localhost:9000/SoapContext/SoapPort");
        
        ManagedConnectionFactory factory = new ManagedConnectionFactoryImpl();
        ManagedConnection mc = factory.createManagedConnection(null, requestInfo);
        Object client = mc.getConnection(null, requestInfo);

Using CXF-JCA RAR to access the Stateless Session Bean.

By using cxf-jca RAR, the EIS is able to access the Stateless Session Bean by CXF Interal API or JAXWS API.
If you want to deploy the Stateless Session Bean, you need to modify the ejb_servant.properties file.

Activate the ejb_servant.properties file.

# Format: 
# jndi_name={namespace}ServiceName@url_to_swdl
#   
# jndi_name: The JNDI name that an external client uses to contact the bean.
# ServiceName: The string form of the QName for the Artix service in the WSDL file.
# @url_to_wsdl: The string form of a URL that identifies the WSDL file.
#
# Example:
# GreeterBean={http://apache.org/hello_world_soap_http}Greeter@file:c:/wsdl/hello_world.wsdl
