I have a web service that sends a name to a web service called sayHello(), and receives a String "Hello, name".
I want to change the point-to-point connection to something like this:
web service ---> Mule ESB ---> web service
I wonder how can I do that? I've searched for a long time but I didn't find useful document on this topic. Which endpoints should I use?
Thanks.
It depends on the type of webservice you need to expose and consume:
For exposing SOAP based webservices, you can use some strategies,
1) Proxying webservices with Protocol Bridging or WSProxyService
https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-user-guide/v/3.7/proxying-web-services
2) Proxying webservices with CXF
https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-user-guide/v/3.7/proxying-web-services-with-cxf
3) Building a webservice with CXF
https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-user-guide/v/3.7/building-web-services-with-cxf
For exposing RESTful webservices, you should design a RAML and then use the APIKit component
http://raml.org/
https://docs.mulesoft.com/anypoint-platform-for-apis/apikit-tutorial
For consuming SOAP based webservices, you should use the Webservice Consumer component
https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-user-guide/v/3.7/web-service-consumer
For consuming REST webservices, you should use the HTTP Request Connector :
https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-user-guide/v/3.7/http-request-connector
So, if you want to expose a SOAP webservice (not a proxy service), that internally consumes a SOAP webservice, you can use:
HTTPListener->CXF->WebserviceConsumer
If you want to expose a webservice proxy you can use the ProtocolBridging or CXF strategy.
If you want to expose a REST webservice, that internally consumes a REST webservice, you can use:
HTTPListener->APIKit->HTTPRequest
And so on..
This describes a scenario that you are trying to fulfill https://docs.mulesoft.com/anypoint-platform-for-apis/proxying-your-api

Since we know the fact that REST services can be used with SOAP ones, is there a way to intercept SOAP services using Jax-RS. I got both REST/SOAP services running in my system and I need to have some sort of interceptor to intercept the service calls. I can easily intercept the REST calls using JAX-RS but not the SOAP services.
Has anyone gone through this kind of situation, please let me know.
You can do this by exposing your SOAP web services as Camel end points. Then you can use camel to 'log the request/response as a pre/post processor'. There are lost of articles on the subject- here is an example of exposing your SOAP WS via Camel.
I have a WCF Web Service that is hosted in a Windows Service. The WCF Web Service is to be used by a Java based frontend, which will make http calls and will receive a JSON response. The problem I am getting is whilst I can get the web service to run, if I type "mydomain.com/myservice/mymethod", I get bad request back.
The web service initially had mex set for service end points, and I tried the same again, but still no luck. I took mex off, but still no luck. All this was being set on the start of the windows service. The web service is only using BasicHttpBinding.
So, my question is this - "How do I can a web service method using basichttpbinding hosted in a window service through the browser in order for this to be used by a non .net client?"
Thanks
WCF uses SOAP as its primary native protocol for communication. If your client does not want to communicate using SOAP you can make your WCF service RESTFUL with ease. Have a look at the following:
WCF REST Services
Brand new services ideally should be implemented in WebAPI rather than RESTFUL WCF. Also have a look at
REST WCF vs. WebAPI
My Web Service have been implemented in Jersey Framework.
I want to call this web service ( server) from client which I want to implement in restlet framework.
Is it possible ?
Regards,
Nothing stops you from doing that :). Fundamentally, all you do is invoke a HTTP URL by passing some parameters. REST is all about this very basic principal. So under the hood, all the REST client implementations do this. Please go ahead and use whichever REST client you are comfortable with.
like WSDL what is the contract for RESTful service it exposes to client. Are there any java frameworks to create the client automatically for consuming RESTful Services ?
In REST your media types and your link relations are your contracts. It is possible you use WADL as a runtime discovery mechanism, but it is far less flexible than using hypermedia based representations.
REST systems should never use something like WADL to generate client proxy classes.
Jersey is probably the most popular REST library for Java on the server. They also have client libraries that allow you to consume RESTful services with an example
The RESTful equilivant of a WSDL is a WADL
REST services use what's called "uniform contract" or "uniform interface", which is based on http verbs. Thus, the contract of a REST service is a combination of the uniform interface and the URIs it support.
To call a SOAP service we pick an operation and the address specified in the concrete section of that services's WSDL definition.
To call a REST service we pick an http verb and a URI.
I'm looking for an example of how to set up a very simple Mule configuration to route a SOAP web service call from a client to a service provider. Initially, there will just be one provider, and then I will want to add multiple service providers and a round-robin routing strategy in Mule.
Most of the examples on the Mule site have the service provider running within the Mule container. I want mine to be completely external.
If you don't need to decompose message arguments use HTTP pass-through, which is more light-weight and a lot simpler. For the round-robin implementation you could use a filter router with a groovy-based filter expression.
See here:
Create pass through with Mule ESB 2.2.1
