Camel - Trying to marshall parameters with JIBX and send it to CXF-CAMEL endpoint

Question

Basiaclly I've got the XML-d object to send, thanks to JIBX, I've got the WSDL endpoint. I just want to get the thing to that endpoint. it's proving extremely difficult for me.

I would like to use POJO mode because it looks much simpelr than the other modes doesn't involve messing with SOAP-Headers, and so on

POJO mode seems to invoke JAXB by default but I'd like to use JIBX - since the projects I'm interfacing with are already JIBX annotated and

I would like to either swap the POJO automatic JAXB-ing with my JIBX or just let me do the marshalling myself (which I can do successfully) and pass on my xml message

from( "A" )
  .marshall().jibx() // works fine, and gives byte[] of marshalled object in In.body
  .process() {
      exchange.getIn().setHeader( CxfConstants.OPERATION_NAME, OPERATION);    
   }
   .to("cxf://SERVICE"
     + "?serviceClass=SERVICE_CLASS"
     + "&wsdlURL=SERVICE?wsdl"
     + "&dataFormat=POJO" );

It then tries to invoke Jaxb on the messagebody and dies.

I've tried wrapping byte[] as a String, and wrapping in a List and sending with dataformat=MESSAGE but I can't seem to get what I'm trying to do

user1958722,

I would recommend taking a look at some of the examples on the JiBX web site and in my blog at blog.tourgeek.com

JiBX has a dataconnector that is included with CXF. This means that all you have to do is specify the jibx dataconnector in your spring bean.xml file and JiBX automatically does the marshaling/unmarshaling.

Athough CXF is a great tool for SOAP servers, I've found it is a bit difficult to use for SOAP clients. You can save yourself a bunch of time by using the JiBX client library. It's very lightweight, because it uses the javax.xml.ws.soap package to package your message in a SOAP container.

I would suggest reading my post on creating a SOAP client and taking a look at some of the sample client code in our repository.

The JiBX schema library has some great web service client and server examples.

If you are dealing with a public message set, please consider donating your binding to the JiBX schema library.

I hope this helps!

Mm, Spring, my company are really eager to avoid using Spring wherever possible... It seems frustrating I've got the connection set up to the SOAP, I've got the XML-message I just can't seem to figure out how to persuade CXF to put it in. I'll look through the examples you posted. thanks — , Feb 08 '13 at 11:04
