Question

I am trying to expose a simple greeting web-service using “cxf:proxy-service” in mule. Given below is my flow.

<flow name="WS_In">
    <http:inbound-endpoint address="http://localhost:8080/HelloService" exchange-pattern="request-response">
        <cxf:proxy-service  wsdlLocation="classpath:HelloService.wsdl" namespace="http://example.org/HelloService"/>
    </http:inbound-endpoint>        
    <component>             
        <prototype-object class="com.example.ServiceProxy">
        </prototype-object>
    </component>

    <echo-component></echo-component>
    <logger level="INFO"        />
</flow>

But it giving me error as below:

2013-01-03 16:13:35,569 ERROR [main] construct.AbstractFlowConstruct (AbstractFlowConstruct.java:180) - Failed to stop service: WS_In
org.mule.api.lifecycle.LifecycleException: Lifecycle Manager 'WS_In.stage1' phase 'start' does not support phase 'dispose'

My ServiceProxy calss is as below

public class ServiceProxy implements Callable, Initialisable 

Please help me understand where I am missing the path.

Try this out …

1. Get the service name from your WSDL and use it in cxf:proxy-service
2. User the class direclty in component.

….

<flow name="WS_In">
    <http:inbound-endpoint address="http://localhost:8080/HelloService" exchange-pattern="request-response">
        <cxf:proxy-service  wsdlLocation="classpath:HelloService.wsdl" namespace="http://example.org/HelloService" service="HelloService"/>
    </http:inbound-endpoint>        
    <component class="com.example.ServiceProxy" />
    <echo-component></echo-component>
    <logger level="INFO"        />
</flow>
