<p>We have support for the processing of XML headers or body elements through the use of the <a href="http://xstream.codehaus.org/">XStream</a> library. XStream is idea when you have a bunch of POJOs and you want to stream them over XML. </p>

<p>If you are given a WSDL and want to create beans for it, we recommend a tool like <a class="confluence-link" href="/display/AWS/XMLBeans" data-linked-resource-id="10988" data-linked-resource-type="page" data-linked-resource-default-alias="XMLBeans" data-base-url="http://docs.codehaus.org">XMLBeans</a>, Castor or JAXB. However if you're starting with POJOs then XStream is nice &amp; simple &amp; fast.</p>

<p>The client API is pretty much the same as for the other marshalling tools. First off we have a regular interface that represents some service...</p>

<table class="wysiwyg-macro" data-macro-name="unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup" data-macro-parameters="atlassian-macro-output-type=BLOCK" style="background-image: url(/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/macro-heading?definition=e3VubWlncmF0ZWQtaW5saW5lLXdpa2ktbWFya3VwOmF0bGFzc2lhbi1tYWNyby1vdXRwdXQtdHlwZT1CTE9DS30&amp;locale=en_GB&amp;version=2); background-repeat: no-repeat;" data-macro-body-type="PLAIN_TEXT"><tr><td class="wysiwyg-macro-body"><pre>{snippet:id=example|lang=java|url=http://cvs.activesoap.codehaus.org/viewrep/~raw,r=HEAD/activesoap/src/test/org/codehaus/activesoap/examples/snowboard2/SnowboardService.java}</pre></td></tr></table>

<p>Now here's a REST client invoking a remote service..</p>

<table class="wysiwyg-macro" data-macro-name="unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup" data-macro-parameters="atlassian-macro-output-type=BLOCK" style="background-image: url(/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/macro-heading?definition=e3VubWlncmF0ZWQtaW5saW5lLXdpa2ktbWFya3VwOmF0bGFzc2lhbi1tYWNyby1vdXRwdXQtdHlwZT1CTE9DS30&amp;locale=en_GB&amp;version=2); background-repeat: no-repeat;" data-macro-body-type="PLAIN_TEXT"><tr><td class="wysiwyg-macro-body"><pre>{snippet:id=restClient|lang=java|url=http://cvs.activesoap.codehaus.org/viewrep/~raw,r=HEAD/activesoap/src/test/org/codehaus/activesoap/examples/snowboard2/SnowboardTest.java}</pre></td></tr></table>

<p>Or the SOAP client looks like this</p>

<table class="wysiwyg-macro" data-macro-name="unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup" data-macro-parameters="atlassian-macro-output-type=BLOCK" style="background-image: url(/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/macro-heading?definition=e3VubWlncmF0ZWQtaW5saW5lLXdpa2ktbWFya3VwOmF0bGFzc2lhbi1tYWNyby1vdXRwdXQtdHlwZT1CTE9DS30&amp;locale=en_GB&amp;version=2); background-repeat: no-repeat;" data-macro-body-type="PLAIN_TEXT"><tr><td class="wysiwyg-macro-body"><pre>{snippet:id=soapClient|lang=java|url=http://cvs.activesoap.codehaus.org/viewrep/~raw,r=HEAD/activesoap/src/test/org/codehaus/activesoap/examples/snowboard2/SnowboardTest.java}</pre></td></tr></table>

<h3>The server side</h3>

<p>The following example demonstrates how to bind the server side implementation of a service to the some transport ready for being dispatched.</p>

<p>Here's a REST service example</p>

<table class="wysiwyg-macro" data-macro-name="unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup" data-macro-parameters="atlassian-macro-output-type=BLOCK" style="background-image: url(/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/macro-heading?definition=e3VubWlncmF0ZWQtaW5saW5lLXdpa2ktbWFya3VwOmF0bGFzc2lhbi1tYWNyby1vdXRwdXQtdHlwZT1CTE9DS30&amp;locale=en_GB&amp;version=2); background-repeat: no-repeat;" data-macro-body-type="PLAIN_TEXT"><tr><td class="wysiwyg-macro-body"><pre>{snippet:id=restServer|lang=java|url=http://cvs.activesoap.codehaus.org/viewrep/~raw,r=HEAD/activesoap/src/test/org/codehaus/activesoap/examples/snowboard2/SnowboardTest.java}</pre></td></tr></table>

<p>Here's a SOAP service example</p>

<table class="wysiwyg-macro" data-macro-name="unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup" data-macro-parameters="atlassian-macro-output-type=BLOCK" style="background-image: url(/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/macro-heading?definition=e3VubWlncmF0ZWQtaW5saW5lLXdpa2ktbWFya3VwOmF0bGFzc2lhbi1tYWNyby1vdXRwdXQtdHlwZT1CTE9DS30&amp;locale=en_GB&amp;version=2); background-repeat: no-repeat;" data-macro-body-type="PLAIN_TEXT"><tr><td class="wysiwyg-macro-body"><pre>{snippet:id=soapServer|lang=java|url=http://cvs.activesoap.codehaus.org/viewrep/~raw,r=HEAD/activesoap/src/test/org/codehaus/activesoap/examples/snowboard2/SnowboardTest.java}</pre></td></tr></table>

<h3>Dynamic client interface</h3>

<p>You can avoid using service interfaces and dynamic proxies and just pass typed document POJOs around using the dynamic interface.</p>

<p>Here's a REST client example</p>

<table class="wysiwyg-macro" data-macro-name="unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup" data-macro-parameters="atlassian-macro-output-type=BLOCK" style="background-image: url(/plugins/servlet/confluence/placeholder/macro-heading?definition=e3VubWlncmF0ZWQtaW5saW5lLXdpa2ktbWFya3VwOmF0bGFzc2lhbi1tYWNyby1vdXRwdXQtdHlwZT1CTE9DS30&amp;locale=en_GB&amp;version=2); background-repeat: no-repeat;" data-macro-body-type="PLAIN_TEXT"><tr><td class="wysiwyg-macro-body"><pre>{snippet:id=restDClient|lang=java|url=http://cvs.activesoap.codehaus.org/viewrep/~raw,r=HEAD/activesoap/src/test/org/codehaus/activesoap/examples/snowboard2/SnowboardTest.java}</pre></td></tr></table>
