Mule ESB 3 - Use Axis 1.4 to consume a Web Service - web-services

I have a WSDL file that have a 'rpc' style and for this reason I can not use CXF to consume a Web Service.
Therefore I used Axis (wsdl2java axis tool) to generate the stub classes but now i don't know how to call the service in Mule because I usually use tag.
Could anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance

Create a Java component that uses the Axis client to make the web service call and invoke this Java component from your XML config.

Is spring integration is suited for enterprise application integration?

We are designing a Java middleware web application, something like a ESB, such as IBM message broker or mule.
We have many Oracle EBS interfaces(soap web services), and now the salesforce CRM wants to call the EBS interfaces through the middleware application.
Slaesforce CRM calls the middleware by rest json, and the middleware calls EBS by SOAP webservice. The picture below helps you know my meanings.
We have struggled many days to design the middleware with Spring Integration. But we found it difficult to do this. We still need to generate a jar file(by CXF) for every EBS interface(each wsdl with a jar file), and call the EBS interface by the traditional web service way.
We do not want to generate the webservice client jar files for each EBS interface. Is spring integration suitable for this(no generating the jar files for each WSDL, just some configuration or not much coding)? If not, can you suggest some other product else?
Thank you very much in advance.
For the SOAP interaction Spring Integration provides the WS module which is fully based on the Spring WS project.
I don't see reason to generate something, if you just can use the Spring Integration's <int-ws:outbound-gateway> to call that Oracle ESB service.
For this purpose you just need to know which XML to build for the request and which to parse from the response.
Seems for me for this purpose it would be enough for you to know the service WSDL and investigate it from the SOAP UI.
If I were you I'd just forget the CXF when we are with Spring :-).
An API gateway is one product which can be used here. Typically, it acts as a proxy between the client and the applications, but it can also do transformation between JSON and XML, which is what would happen in a REST to SOAP conversion.
MuleESB, although not a gateway can also be used for this purpose, see this link How to convert SOAP web service to REST web service in Mule
We did this by ourselves.
We developed the middleware by ourselves with Java.
We used java with freemarker template to convert the json request to required soap envelope body. Then used apache httpclient to call the web service(oracle EBS).

How can I expose a WSDL using Mulesoft so Salesforce can call it

I'm new to the Mulesoft. Currently we have a requirement that need to use Mulesoft to expose a WSDL for Salesforce to call. When Salesforce call this web service, it will transform some account information and Mulesoft will load them to a MySQL table. Could anyone help how can I create this? Thank you!
Definitely... As Nuno said you need to use CXF component in Mule to expose your SOAP webservice.. Actually using Mule platform you can able to expose any kind of Web Service you required like (Soap,Rest) that other applications can able to read ..
Take a look into an easy way of creating the webservice and exposing the WSDL :- http://training.middlewareschool.com/mule/soap-code-first-build/
To publish a SOAP service you should use the CXF component (reference). Take a look into the documentation Publishing a SOAP API to have an ideia in how to begin your flow.
Please take some time to have a quick look into the Mule User guide, since it explains the essentials to start developing with Mule. You will need it to learn how to interact with MySQL too (Database connector).

Is there a way to find out if a updated a service in WSO2 application server?

I have a simple question if it make sense in the context of WSO2 Application server.
I want to write a module, which tells me if i updated a service. The service is an axis2 SOAP service. I know how to write modules for axis2 services inside axis2 engine. But if i use the WSO2 interface, and either delete a service, update a service or add a service, Is there a way to find out that i performed these activities?.
In short, can i intercept the messages that i uploaded a new module or i uploaded a new service or i changed the service.
thanks you...
You could write a Axis2 Observer for this, take a look http://asanka.abeysinghe.org/2008/10/how-to-writing-axis2-observer.html

Wsdl for a REST service issues

I'm trying to use the GetPostCodeDetailsByPlaceName method from this wsdl. I can't figure out how the parameters should go. Am I looking at this the wrong way or is it incomplete?
I've tried guessing a ton of things like:
This and
this
even
this
Anyone make any sense of it? Thanks.
Since this web service has a WSDL, it is a SOAP based web service, not a RESTful web service. You can use Apache Axis to generate a WS client based on the WSDL, or you can use a tool like SoapUI to invoke the web service.
WSDL = SOAPWADL = REST
Hence the thread title itself is invalid!!!

Strategy to develop a web service in JAX WS

i'd like your help to designing a wb serice but I don't know how i can't do this.
In fact my application handles data management clients. My application is developped in struts 1.0, spring, weblogic and build-in maven.
He was asked to me to make an evolution because an external application need to access data such as displaying the address of the client or displaying data bank. For this, it was planned to create a web service to retrieve in real time.
I would like to know the strategy to use for designing a web service. Do I need to create a new Dynamite projet maven + JAX WS to my web service and deploy my war on my weblogic server?
Or they have something else to do ?
Thanks a lot !
I am not sure that this question is related to maven.
Adding a WebService (or RestService) could be quite easy with springframework and apache cxf (http://cxf.apache.org/)
see jaxws or jaxrs for more.
create web service in a two types but real time applications using jax-ws web services reason for consumer want to send data into provider.consumer can know the entire information about the provider by seeing its WSDL Document.
