Spring Web Services 2.0: Best Java Stack for SOAP-based Web Services A major version of the Spring Web service project Spring WS 2.0 recently was released after a year in development. This version requires that your project use Java 5 or above and Spring 3.0 or above, but the upgrade (if necessary) is well worth it because Spring WS 2.0 delivers a lot of goodies for Java developers. New features include: An improved, more flexible @Endpoint programming modelA new integration testing framework for both server-side and client-side testingJava 5 APIs (generics, varargs), and more For developers who are not familiar with Spring WS, it is a Spring portfolio project that lets you build Spring-based, document-oriented SOAP Web services. I have been experimenting with Spring WS 2.0 during the past several days . Using a Maven archetype, it is very easy to create a new Spring WS project. This command will create a Maven2-based Spring WS project with all the required configurations. Page 1 of 2

Spring WS 2.0: New Integration Test Support Spring WS 2.0 introduced a new integration testing module, spring-ws-test, which provides a fluent API for testing both the client- and server-side of Web service. In my previous article on Spring WS 2.0 and SOAP-based Web services , I explored some of the new features introduced in the 2.0 release. In this installment, I'll dive into spring-ws-test. In the previous article, we exposed a SOAP Web service endpoint (using @Endpoint annotation) on the server, but we did not write the client side. Spring WS provides a lightweight alternative that does not need a WSDL contract to work. Spring WS provides a class called WebServiceTemplate that developers can use to perform common operations. WebServiceTemplate provides methods for sending and receiving XML messages (sendAndReceive()) or request and response objects (marshalSendAndReceive()). In this article, I use JAXB2 for marshalling and unmarhalling. import java.math.BigInteger; public class Client { WebServiceTemplate webServiceTemplate; <?

Apache CXF -- Index Concursive Corporation JavaNCSS - A Source Measurement Suite for Java Reading configuration files with libconfig libconfig may be yet another configuration library, but I gave it a once- over anyway, and it is good. libconfig calls itself "a simple library for processing structured configuration files", with a "file format which is much more readable than XML". The file format really is readable, as the following short example shows: # authenticator name = "JP"; enabled = false; length = 186; ldap = { host = "ldap.example.com"; base = "ou=usr,o=example.com"; /* adapt this */ retries = [10, 15, 20, 60]; // Use more than 2 }; Comments within the configuration file can be placed anywhere, and libconfig knows three comment formats: a hash (#) as in the UNIX shells, the double slash (//) and the C-style /* ... */. libconfig knows about scalar values (integer, 64-bit integer, floating point, boolean and string), arrays of scalar values of the same type, so- called groups (collections of settings), and lists, which are sequences of values of any type, including lists.
