I have a web service that I want to mock in following way: I will have a list of given IDs, and a set of response items for them, and if user will send a request with ID from the list, proper response should be sent back.
How to do it without tools like SoapUI (I don't want to install any additional software on the server that will be tested if possible).
Thanks in advance for any help.
SoapUI open source provides exactly what you want to achieve, without any need to install SoapUI on the server.
I consider this approach very efficient:
Create your mock service inside SoapUI.
Test the mock on your computer with SoapUI.
Create a WAR with the mock service (or more services) - just click on the project and choose "Deploy As WAR"
Deploy the WAR to the target server.
The resulting WAR is standalone and you do not need to deploy any other software.
I recommend this tutorial: https://www.soapui.org/soap-mocking/getting-started.html

The easiest way I could find is https://www.mockable.io/ . Hope it helps.
You might have to build an actual mock for this.
This could range from just a different implementation for an existing interface (say IOrderQuerier, with the old OrderQuerier and the new MockOrderQuerier), to a different project altogether (say MockOrderApi).
In both scenarios, the Mock would just return a set of predefined values depending on the input, but you'll need to provide some sort of switch mechanism (for example a flag in the config file, which is read by the DI container).
You'll have to provide more details about the server if you need more targeted answers on this.
If you can manage to mock this using mockito, I've just added a simple project which does most of the heavy lifting: mockito-soap-cxf

I am implementing new authentication methods for WSO2 Carbon. I know there is a pretty good explanation and sample piece of code in this post.
The problem is, what if I want to generate stub and service client components from the sample BE authenticator? What are the steps to follow? Any tools (java2wsdl / wsdl2java, maven plugins,...) or reference tutorial that can help to achieve this in the most straightforward way?
I know there are several existing authenticators (IWA, webseal,...), but they already come with some stub/ui built in the existing repositories. I would be rather interested in being able to develop/generate all the components more or less from scratch rather than having to modify existing code, which is often prone to errors.
Thanks
This is some high level thing.. but hope this is useful.
1st you can develop the BE component as OSGI bundle. Then you can deploy it in /repository/components/dropins directory. Here you need to have a service.xml file to expose as web service (Please refer WebSeal BE component)
Then configure following property in the carbon.xml file.. if BE service has been defined as admin service
true
Open browser and locate your WSDL of new service
https://{ip}:{port}/services/{service name}.wsdl
Then use wsdl2java tool to create the stub class for you. There is a UI tool in WSO2AS product to do it.
Use stub as a dependency for your FE
The idea is to call a method from a website(in php) to my application (in Grails). The application will serve data in json format.
The website and the application are hosted in two different servers. The website is on Yahoo and the application is on Rackspace.
Now, I want to create a web service in my Grails application which serves list of cities in json format.
City Class
class City {
String name
String code
}
How do i write the web service method?
Try the grails jaxrs plugin (https://github.com/krasserm/grails-jaxrs) which will do excactly what you want without any hassle.
Simply install it, create a Resource object with the introduced create-resource command and create and annotate the methods as you wish. all other things are managed by the plugin so you don't have to worry about Controller or UrlMapping...
You need only the annotation #Resource(uri='/cities') on your domain and call the url/cities.json (but, its'n RESTful)
You will want to use a few tools, first you will create a controller that deals with the requests and pushes them off to your service layer.
You can use URL Mappings to make it more RESTFul check out the doc that way all the http methods will be mapped to actions in your controller.
Also if you will be doing a fair bit of json I would recomend starting with the gson plugin it has a fuller feature set then the built in JSON support.
The link from the comment above is a great resource to read as well.
I have found that I most of the time want to support the accept header as well in which case you will need to update your config with the following code. See withFormat doc for more info.
grails.mime.use.accept.header = true
I have a requirement to kickoff a workflow which is in salesforce.com thorugh web service from UNIX box. Can any one suggest me options or guide lines to achive this scenario?
I don't think you can just "kick off workflows". You'll have to perform an insert or update of records in Salesforce that will satisfy the workflow's entry criteria.
There's a Java tool called Data Loader for your basic data manipulation activities (you can download it from your own production org)
and it can be scripted for scheduled runs, has config file where you can store user's password in secure way etc. Check out the pdf guide for more ("Command Line Quick Start" chapter)
So I don't think you really need a webservice call...
Unless I misunderstood and you're talking about calling an Apex class' method that has "webservice" keyword and it will somehow perform the updates?
In that case you'll need to download the WSDL file generated for this class (Setup->Develop->Classes) and well, consume it in language of your choice (Java, PHP, Python... this link will help, steps aren't too different), then do your command line magic?
http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Integration has tons of resources for you :)
Salesforce uses SOAP for their web service. They don't have restful web services now. Just request them to give the wsdl file.
Use this wsdl file to generate the java code. After that get their webService url so that you can proceed with your data pulling

I have a project where I have kept web service in two separate package. One package contain customer face web services and another contains in house usage web services. I want jersey to only scan the customer facing package and generate WADL.
In general I was not able to find any way to split wadl generation logic by configuration. But here is hack you can perform. There is class called GenerateWadlTask.java This basically does the wadl generation logic for jersey. You can just extend this class in your custom application wadl generation task and use it as per your logic. For code example just download the jersey server source jar and look at the class. The logic is pretty straight forward.
hope this help.
EDIT:- There is a maven plugin called enunicate http://enunciate.codehaus.org/
That will make your life easy.
We have a wsdl for which we need to create a server implementation. In previous projects we used wsdl2java from Apache CXF, but now we want to keep it all in Groovy. Is there a way in which we can create a server implementation and keep it all in Groovy? Or are there any other ways we can achieve this?
The ultimate goal would be that we can hook this implementation into a Grails application that will serve as the server for clients.
Yes. You can either use the plugin or use cxf directly.
If you follow that tutorial, you can always use wsdl2java and just rename the generated files to be .groovy files and update the syntax to be more groovified. They will still work like normal. Also, as you may or may not know, you don't have to copy the jars directly to your lib directory as it says in the tutorial, you can just use normal Grails dependency management.
I think a better fit for you would be Groovy WS Lite. Spring-ws is also an option, it is a powerful library and reasonably well documented, since grails is spring at the end of day, this may integrate very well with grails. Shameless plug: This is web service integration testing tool I created which uses groovy and spring-ws. You can see the code to get a "working example".
