How to Serialize ADB Code Generated Objects

At times one needs to see the XML serialization of objects generated for various reasons. This knowledge base explains a simple method to serialize objects generated using the Axis2 Data Binding (ADB) frameowrk.

We generated code using wsdl2java tool, so that we can see the Web service methods as methods of a Java object. Once generated, we will be using these objects to send and receive parameters to/from the Web service that we are invoking. Take the following method as an example:

This tutorial by Deepal Jayasinghe is a look at Axis2 configuration parameters for deployment.

This article by Eran Chinthaka describes the requirement of understanding the mustUnderstand SOAP header property in designing and implementing Web services.

Both SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 specifications enable you to use mustUnderstand attributes with SOAP headers. Not handling these headers properly is a common concern during Web service interactions. Within Axis2, repercussions of not understanding some of these mustUnderstand headers is common, especially in those ciscumstances when you try to use add-on modules with Axis2. This article describes the mustUnderstand header field and goes on to explain the cause of such errors. The article also looks at what happens inside Axis2, as such errors are encountered and how some of it can be fixed with minimal effort.

In this tutorial by Deepal Jayasinghe, he provides a step-by-step guide to creating services that handle binary data together with instructions on creating clients that consume such services.

It is often a requirement to debug Web services as they are deployed within Axis2. Once we have Axis2 deployed within a servlet container, we are able to use the debugging capabilities of those virtual machines in order to debug any Web applications deployed within them. This article by Eran Chinthaka describes debugging Web services deployed in Axis2 running on Apache Tomcat.

In this tutorial, Keith Chapman looks at implementing a REST service in Apache Axis2.
