Setting style to XFireExporter not working?

[jpsilvagallino]

Hi everybody.
I'm trying to expose a leacy rpc/literal ws via Spring+Xfire.
I started with just exposing the web service, and everything went fine.
I followed the configuration steps shown by various available tutorials and books and ended up with the following configuration.
web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.4" 
	xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
	http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>spring-ws</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>
			org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
		</servlet-class>		
	</servlet>

	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>spring-ws</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>
	
	<context-param>
		<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
		<param-value>
			classpath:org/codehaus/xfire/spring/xfire.xml
		</param-value>
	</context-param>

	<listener>
		<listener-class>
			org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
		</listener-class>
	</listener>
</web-app>

spring-ws-servlet.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" 
	   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	   xmlns:oxm="http://www.springframework.org/schema/oxm"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd">        	  
    
           
    <bean id="retailerEndpoint" class="com.mycompany.hr.retailer.ws.RetailerEndpoint">
             <constructor-arg ref="retailerService"/>                     
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="retailerService" class="com.mycompany.hr.retailer.RetailerService_Impl"/>
    
    <bean name="/RetailerService" class="org.codehaus.xfire.spring.remoting.XFireExporter">
		<property name="xfire" ref="xfire" />	
		<property name="serviceBean" ref="retailerEndpoint" />
		<property name="serviceInterface" value="com.mycompany.hr.retailer.RetailerPortType" />
	</bean>
	
</beans>

With the above configuration, the ws is exposed as a document/literal wrapped ws (default XfireExporter's conf.).

In XFireExporter's javadoc, I found that there are setter methods for style and use, so I modified "/RetailerService" to show:

...
<bean name="/RetailerService" class="org.codehaus.xfire.spring.remoting.XFireExporter">
		<property name="xfire" ref="xfire" />
		<property name="style" value="rpc" />
		<property name="use" value="literal" /> 
		<property name="serviceBean" ref="retailerEndpoint" />
		<property name="serviceInterface" value="com.mycompany.hr.retailer.RetailerPortType" />
</bean>
...

but still the WSDL was document/literal wrapped.
I googled around and found that there is a "wsdlURL" property in which to specify a pre-existent WSDL file (with the file:///location/to/wsdl format), but this property is also being ignored.

I would like to specify the wsdl for XFire to use, but I would also like to know why are the style and use properties being ignored.
Can anyone give me any pointers on this?.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I managed to make a rpc-style ws with spring and CXF by following this post:

I wasn't able, however, to set the style and use as asked in the post.
