Before entering the actual objects in the framework I did the tutorial for the appfuse site. The tutorial exposed the Manager Classes as web services and the tutorial shows how access the WSDL when the service is accessible via XFire.
However when further test were done to try and consume the service .... they failed terribly.
In the beginning the only test that i did were to simply to view the WSDL ....
I realise now that may have been the biggest mistake of this project.
The following are some of the efforts i took to try and remedy the problem.
- XFIRE - I read through the documentation - it was so confusing. With the feeling of panic in my mind i read and re-read almost every config page trying to map something to my code.
http://xfire.codehaus.org/Quick+Start
http://xfire.codehaus.org/Spring%2C+XBean%2C+Servlets+and+more
The are undergoing some serious upgrades so the XFIRE they are currently using will be obsolete soon. This does not vote well where pages are being removed and the site being revamped. - I read alot of appfuse stuff - the big problem here is that the guides for adapting XFIRE from appfuse's support is to build in ANT and well Appfuse 2 is by default in MAVEN ...
I cannot explain the the disheartenment I feel ...
http://raibledesigns.com/wiki/AppFuseXFire.html - I tried the forum a couple of time - i only got one response which was not helpful
- The next thing that i did took me into the next week.
I tired to use an IDE - Netbeans to edit the project to create the web services .... this too was a task of emmense hardship.
I also sent a mail to the man behind the scenes in appfuse asking for guidance ,,, and his response was that he never used a GUI (i figured as much) and therefor could not guide me further.
