Web services with XFire

[teix]

Hi!

I'm new to Spring and web services. I've already tryed Axis a little bit and now I'd like to take a look into Spring-XFire web services. I've read Spring and Codehaus docs about the topic, but I would like to see a small example. Would any of you post one?

Kind regards

XFire + Spring make webservices very easy. You basically expose selected methods as a webservice. Here is the example for the xfire servlet:

<beans>
    <bean id="handlerMapping" 
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
        <property name="urlMap">
            <map>
                <entry key="/InvoicePrintNotificationService">
                    <ref bean="invoicePrintNotificationServiceExporter"/>
                </entry>
            </map>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean name="invoicePrintNotificationServiceExporter" 
        class="org.codehaus.xfire.spring.XFireExporter">
        <property name="service">
            <ref bean="invoicePrintNotificationService"/>
        </property>
        <property name="serviceInterface">
            <value>com.bop.aeos.services.InvoicePrintNotificationService</value>
        </property>
        <property name="serviceFactory">
            <ref bean="xfire.serviceFactory"/>
        </property>
        <property name="xfire">
            <ref bean="xfire"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="invoicePrintNotificationService" 
        class="com.bop.aeos.services.InvoicePrintNotificationServiceImpl">
        <property name="invoiceDao">
            <ref bean="invoiceDao"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
</beans>

Has anyone been able to make an asychronous service with XFire and Spring? If anyone has any examples, please post because the documentation is non-existant for ws-addressing with XFire and Spring.

for those who have implemented web services using spring + xfire, could you share your experience, what do you like about it and what don't you like, etc.
thanks
