Abstract:

Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, Restful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI.

SOAP over JMS specification(http://www.w3.org/TR/soapjms/) is aimed at a set of standards for the transport of SOAP messages over JMS (Java Message Service). The main purpose is to ensure interoperability between the implementations of different Web services vendors.

CXF does support SOAP over JMS, but it does not meet the current draft specification defined at http://www.w3.org/TR/soapjms/ and instead uses some proprietary formats, headers, url formats, etc. This project would update the SOAP/JMS support in CXF to be completely specification compliant.

The main concerns are as follows:

• The JMS calls that are made to construct and interpret SOAP/JMS messages in The SOAP/JMS Underlying Protocol Binding.

• The WSDL binding that is used to describe SOAP/JMS services in WSDL Usage.

• How SOAP over JMS uses the URI specification for JMS endpoints.

• Make SOAP Over JMS pass the soapjms test suite (http://dev.w3.org/2008/ws/soapjms/testcases/).

Work Schedule:

First Week(5.20-5.26):
I have known the configuration of JMS address for current implementation. I’ll investigate the JMS URI, and get some code from Camel project for JMS URI and test it.

Second Week(5.27-6.2):
I’ll use the Camel JMS URI to implement the JMS URI for SOAP/JMS. And do some tests to make sure the JMS URI works.

Third Week(6.3-6.9):
I’ll integrate the JMS URI with the current implementation of SOAP/JMS. The JMS URI configuration information will replace the jms:address of current implementation.

4th Week(6.10-6-16):
I’ll modify the JMS Message Header properties and JMS message properties to make them conformance with the specification.

5th Week(6.17-6.23):
I’ll modify the MEPs to make them conformance with the specification.

6th Week(6.24-6.30):
I’ll make a checkpoint with my mentor and submit midterm evaluations.

7th Week(7.1-7.7):
I’ll work on the WSDL extension for WSDL usage and make the WSDL definition conformance with the specification.

8th Week(7.8-7.14):
I’ll still work on the WSDL extension for WSDL usage and make the overriding rule work.

9th Week(7.15-7.21):
I’ll work on the SOAP Fault for SOAP/JMS and make it conformance with the specification.

10th Week(7.22-7.28):
I’ll work on the test suite (http://dev.w3.org/2008/ws/soapjms/testcases/) .
I’ll write an integration test for SOAP over JMS. Then I will update the documents for SOAP/JMS in CXF.

11-12th Week(7.29-8.11)
I’ll still work on the test suite to make the implementation pass the tests as possible as I can.

Final Week(8.12-8.18)
I will finish all the tests and refinement with my mentor.
