XFire小记

最近一个项目中需要用到Webservice向客户端提供各种服务。最初在选Webservice实现上考虑过AXIS1、XFire和CXF。尽管AXIS1技术成熟文档全面，但考虑其部署繁琐维护成本较高最终放弃。在看到XFire官方的一段说明后，初步决定使用CXF。

 

XFire官方说明

User's looking to use XFire on a new project, should use CXF instead. CXF is a continuation of the XFire project and is considered XFire 2.0. It has many new features, a ton of bug fixes, and is now JAX-WS compliant! XFire will continue to be maintained through bug fix releases, but most development will occur on CXF now. For more information see the XFire/Celtix merge FAQ and the CXF website .

 

后来由于客户提供的软件运行环境为Websphere6.0，而CXF需要JDK 5.0支持而不得不放弃，最后选择了XFire。总得来说XFire支持的特性广泛、配置部署简单，另外与Spring结合也相当方便，XFire也算是个不错的选择。

 

XFire之Hello World

1 创建一个Web工程，导入XFire所需jar包

2 配置web.xml

 

<!-- XFIRE配置 -->
<servlet>
	<servlet-name>XFireServlet</servlet-name>
	<display-name>XFire Servlet</display-name>
	<servlet-class>
		org.codehaus.xfire.transport.http.XFireConfigurableServlet
	</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
	<servlet-name>XFireServlet</servlet-name>
	<url-pattern>/servlet/XFireServlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<servlet-mapping>
	<servlet-name>XFireServlet</servlet-name>
	<url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

 

3 在src下创建META-INF子目录，再在META-INF目录下创建xfire子目录，最后在xfire目录下创建services.xml文件

4 编写服务类接口HiService和实现类HiServiceImpl

package com.ws;

public interface HiService {
	public void sayHi();
}

 

package com.ws;

public class HiServiceImpl implements HiService {
	public void sayHi(){
		System.out.println("Hello world");
	}
}

 

5 配置service.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://xfire.codehaus.org/config/1.0">
	<service>
		<name>HiService</name>
		<namespace>
			http://com.ws/HiService
		</namespace>
		<serviceClass>
			com.ws.HiService
		</serviceClass>
		<implementationClass>
			com.ws.HiServiceImpl
		</implementationClass>
	</service>
</beans>

 

6 发布查看服务

以Web工程形式发布即可。
