I am working on Spring-WS which generates the WSDL based on the XSD created manually.
I am trying to expose Spring Controller RESTFul API services as the WSDL using Spring-WS.
Can any one suggest the solution on how to define the dynamic url using the spring web services for the existing RESTFul services in the WSDL using spring-ws?
e.g. if RESTFul API url is
/localhost:8080/Apps/rest/Customer/{customer-id}/care
then how to pass the {customer-id} at the time of spring webservice call?
How to specify this url in the spring wsdl defination?
REST web services don't have WSDL. Spring-WS and WSDL are both for SOAP services.

I have recently encountered a problem statement ,there is a legacy code using soap based web service and ant as build tool.
My task is to convert the soap based web service to rest endpoint using spring boot and then end goal is to convert to microservice.
I have seen lot of articles where spring starter project is created with spring webservice dependency and they are also generating the classes through xsd's and using annotations like payload and SOAP configuration and checking the wsdl after running the application.
Is this the right approach to convert soap to rest but in my understanding it is simply creating soap web services using spring boot.
If we expose Rest Controllers with Pojos generated and generating the response type as xml or json ,do we need to do something apart from this to achieve the goal of converting soap to rest?
Any suggestions?
I am still exploring the working solution.
So far I have created the config client and server and I am thinking how to code inside the client code to expose soap as rest service.
I was looking to implement RestFul Web Services using Spring so in all Spring Projects list I saw Spring Web Services.
But Strangely it's just for SOAP and no Restful web services!
Where is project for RestFul web Services? Is there any JAX-RS implementation of Restful Web Services?
( Actually, It should be part of Spring Web Services project as its a popular web Services architecture as SOAP itself)
For Creating ReSTful web using spring, two ways are there :
1.One very easy way to use Spring MVC project. Spring provides annotations specificto ReSTful web services if you are using Spring MVC project like #RestController etc.
2.One can also create ReSTful web services by following JAX-RS methodology. Using spring-boot-starter-jersey project. Using this one can get other core functionalities of spring framework like DI, AOP etc.
I new to SOAP web service. In my project there is a requirement where I need to consume the SOAP web service in spring MVC. I tried search in google I am not getting simple example to integrate the SOAP services with spring MVC.
I have few other question as well.
What is JAXB? As per my understanding the JAXB is used for marshalling and unmarshalling the objects from service.
2.Whether I can use both restful web service and SOAP web service together in same spring mvc application?
3.What is different between Spring-WS and JAX-WS?
What is JAXB? As per my understanding the JAXB is used for marshalling
and unmarshalling the objects ?
Yes, JAXB is a framework which can be used to convert Java object into an XML file (stream) and vice versa.
Java Object to an XML file conversion is called marshalling and the opposite is unmarshalling.
This technique will be useful when two applications are exchanging the business data using XML.
2.Whether I can use both restful web service and SOAP web service together in same spring mvc application ?
Yes, you can use both together with in the same project as per your business requirements.
For example, assume that your application (project) might need some data from two external sources i.e., external system1 (assume that it exposes it's endpoints in SOAP) and
external system2 (assume that it exposes it's endpoints in REST), your application has to interact with both of those to exchange the data.
Similarly your application might need to expose few services in REST and few services in SOAP (assume that the other system can consume only SOAP), it is all about agreeing between different systems on data exchanging formats.
3.What is the difference between Spring-WS and JAX-WS ?
JAX-WS is a specification & implementation built into JDK for consuming/producing SOAP services.
Spring-WS is a Spring API for consuming/producing SOAP services.
There are two types of SOAP frameworks available for the development of projects:
Compliant to JAX-WS - like Apache CXF, Apache Axis2, etc..
Non compliant to JAX-WS - Spring-WS
You can look at here for the list of web service frameworks
I'm making a Spring RESTFUL service and i wonder. Can I make a Spring RESTFUL service combine with a web app in a project. If it is possible, how to configure it?
.
yes that is possible to combine with web-app
for example your controller package into your restful controller also work
that is possible to crud operation via restful web service.
I want to expose project specific services as restful services(for JSON http request/response) that i exposed earlier for SOAP Request/Response type. Earlier we configured the static wsdl entries for SOAP using the
web-services:static-wsdl id="MyWsdl" location="/WEB-INF/xsd/MyWsdl.wsdl"/>
in the spring configuration files.
I need advice to know that Do we have ways to include my wadl contract files as we did for wsdl with the spring integration project or best way to expose my restful JSON service for the client.
You can simply serve it up as a static resource from the WAR. See this question/answer for howto.
