CXF Asynchronous Client

By admin | March 15, 2014 | Updated : April 29, 2016 cxf, jax-ws, soap, No Comments

CXF Asynchronous Client tells about creating a SOAP/WSDL asynchronous client using Apache CXF WebService Framework

There are two options available for receiving data through asynchronous calls from client with CXF.

1) Polling: the client application periodically polls a javax.xml.ws.Response instance to check if the response is available
2) Callback: the client application implements the javax.xml.ws.AsyncHandler interface to accept notification of the response availability

Reference -> http://cxf.apache.org/docs/developing-a-consumer.html

Below we are showing examples for both approaches

Note

For running this client you need to refer the classes created on Asynchronous Web Service Using CXF

Async client should be created after deploying the above service

1. CXF Asynchronous Client Using Polling

The client application periodically checks (poll) whether response is available from the server.

package com.student.client;

import javax.xml.ws.Response;

import org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingInInterceptor;
import org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingOutInterceptor;
import org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean;

import com.student.ChangeStudentDetails;
import com.student.Student;

public final class StudentClient {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

        JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();

        factory.setServiceClass(ChangeStudentDetails.class);
        factory.setAddress("http://localhost:8081/CXFTutorial/ChangeStudent?wsdl");
        factory.getInInterceptors().add(new LoggingInInterceptor());
        factory.getOutInterceptors().add(new LoggingOutInterceptor());
        ChangeStudentDetails client = (ChangeStudentDetails) factory.create();
        // polling method
        System.out.println("Invoking changeStudentAsync using polling...");
        Response<Student> changeStudentResp = client.changeStudentAsync(System.getProperty("user.name"));
        while (true) {
            if (changeStudentResp.isDone()) {
                Student reply = changeStudentResp.get();
                System.out.println("Server responded through polling with: "
                        + reply.getName());
                break;
            } else {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
                System.out.println("Polling %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%");
            }

        }

        System.exit(0);
    }
}

Output

Invoking changeStudentAsync using polling...

Server responded through polling with: How are you Rockey

2. CXF Asynchronous Client Using Callback

The client application get responses from the server when response is ready, there is no polling happens here.

package com.student.client;

import java.util.concurrent.Future;

import org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingInInterceptor;
import org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingOutInterceptor;
import org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean;

import com.student.ChangeStudentDetails;

public final class StudentClient {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

        JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();

        factory.setServiceClass(ChangeStudentDetails.class);
        factory.setAddress("http://localhost:8081/CXFTutorial/ChangeStudent?wsdl");
        factory.getInInterceptors().add(new LoggingInInterceptor());
        factory.getOutInterceptors().add(new LoggingOutInterceptor());
        ChangeStudentDetails client = (ChangeStudentDetails) factory.create();


        // callback method
        TestAsyncHandler testAsyncHandler = new TestAsyncHandler();
        System.out.println("Invoking changeStudentAsync using callback object...");
        Future<?> response = client.changeStudentAsync(
                System.getProperty("user.name"), testAsyncHandler);
        while (!response.isDone()) {
            Thread.sleep(100);
        }
        String resp = testAsyncHandler.getResponse();
        System.out.println("Server responded through callback with: " + resp);

        System.exit(0);
    }
}

AsyncHandler Callback Implementation

package com.student.client;

import javax.xml.ws.AsyncHandler;
import javax.xml.ws.Response;

import com.student.Student;

public class TestAsyncHandler implements AsyncHandler<Student> {

    private Student    reply;

    public void handleResponse(Response<Student> response) {
        try {
            System.err.println("handleResponse called");
            reply = response.get();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public String getResponse() {
        return reply.getName();
    }

}

Output

Invoking changeStudentAsync using callback object...
Server responded through callback with: How are you Rockey
