I have a requirement where I would be receiving SOAP calls and have to mediate it to rest calls to invoke some services using fuse ESB. Is there any facility in Fuse to achieve this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
It's fairly straight forward. I just posted an example of exposing some GitHub REST api calls as SOAP calls here http://code.notsoclever.cc/camel-soap-rest-bridge-example/
I used a processor and HTTPUrlConnection to make the REST calls but you could also use the CXFRS or Restlet components to make the REST calls.

I want to implement the RSDL or WADL for REST webservice. I got the syntax for it from wiki, but not able to configure it in project. Can anyone tell me how the configuration is done and how to call. Basically how it works as far as workflow is concerned?
Finally I used Jersey for REST webservice implementation. And Jersey auto generates the WADL for the web service. In order to access the WADL, you need to just append the '/application.wadl' to your REST base URL.
For example: "http://www.companyname.com/rest/application.wadl"
I'm looking for best way to automate generation of REST ws.
We have collection of web services (SOAP) with WSDLs generated for them. I was required to provide different APIs to invoke these web services. (PHP, Pyton, REST, CLI ...)
One of requirement is to have REST API for these ws.
What is the best way to generate REST client/server, is there any automatic tools for that?
There is a chance that WSDLs will change each release.
Thanks
It's not possible to generate REST API from WSDL. You can't mix oranges and apples
SOAP is a protocol build on top of HTTP. A WebService is represented by a set of methods/actions. You can see a WebService as sophisticated RPC. Generally we can say that WebServices are about verbs, to call remote methods/actions. A WebService also doesn't have uniform interface and that's the reason why WSDL exists.
REST is architectural style (scope is broader than just API). REST API is represented by a set of resources and representations. A resource is source of an information and is managed via uniform interface. Generally we can say that REST API is about nouns. Because all resources must have uniform interface there is no need for WADL (an unsuccessful attempt to create something like WSDL for REST).
I doubt you can automatically transform verbs into nouns, etc.
Please check the below article that describes how to use WSDL2.0 to describe REST Services. It can only be used if the intended message format is XML.

Instead of rewriting an existing SOAP-based web service, use API Express to present it as a mobile-ready REST service. No conversion necessary. Continue to run the SOAP service and, with a WSDL file and a few configuration parameters, it can easily be integrated into mobile apps as a REST service.

I am exploring Restlet for my next project. One of the requirements is to communicate with a legacy SOAP-based service. What is the best practice to provide RESTful style to clients, but communicate via SOAP to this back-end server?
Restlet is offering a complete HTTP client API, so even if your backend is a SOAP server, you can still communicate with it.
Although Restlet doesn't include a usual SOAP stack, you can easily use FreeMarker/Velocity templates to send SOAP messages and XPath processing to extract valuable content from answers.
I have my restful CXF service producing JSON with default JSON provider. I want to know if we can use GWT to build client which will user the restful service. Will it work ? If not, what would be a simple work around for this type ?
Thank you.
regards
It will work. See this. Here's a quote:
GWT does not limit you to this one RPC mechanism or server side development environment. You are free to integrate with other RPC mechanisms, such as JSON using the GWT supplied RequestBuilder class, JSNI methods or a third party library.
I am trying to make a call to a SOAP web service through Dojo, but have found no relevant, up-to-date documentation on how to make a SOAP request.
Does anyone have any experience making a SOAP request in Dojo?
IBM has something here. Unfortunately, it's not supported in Dojo. However, this library could be of use for JavaScript to SOAP connectivity.
