I have two code projects both using CXF to use web services. When I make a call from project A to project B, the method I am calling receives null parameters. I’ve turned on logging and the inbound message does indeed contain the correct parameters. I have also tried calling my service from SoapUI (a webservice testing tool). This passes over the parameters as I expect. Anyone have any ideas what’s going wrong?

The service interface:

@WebService
public interface IShortlistService {

  public IShortlist createOrUpdateShortlist(@WebParam(name = "sessionId") String sessionId,
      @WebParam(name = "datastoreInstance") String datastoreInstance,
      @WebParam(name = "datastoreRecordId") String datastoreRecordId);
}

The service impl:

@Name("shortlistService")
@WebService(endpointInterface = "com.oobjects.shortlist.service.IShortlistService", serviceName = "ShortlistService")
@Features(features = "org.apache.cxf.feature.LoggingFeature")
@Transactional
public class ShortlistService implements IShortlistService {
  public IShortlist createOrUpdateShortlist(String sessionId, String datastoreInstance,
      String datastoreRecordId) {
    // At this point all inputs are null
  }
}

Logging for inbound message that proves it’s OK:

INFO: Inbound Message
----------------------------
Encoding: UTF-8
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8
Headers: {cache-control=[no-cache], content-type=[text/xml; charset=UTF-8], connection=[keep-alive], host=[mypc.mycompany.com:8080], content-length=[391], SOAPAction=[""], user-agent=[Apache CXF 2.2.5], Accept=[*/*], pragma=[no-cache]}
Payload: <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><ns1:createOrUpdateShortlist xmlns:ns1="http://service.shortlist.mycompany.com/"><sessionId>854a48b5-922f-4081-9c76-b6d08b58a341</sessionId><datastoreInstance>http://mypc.mycompany.com:8080/shortlist-app/services/ShortlistService</datastoreInstance></ns1:createOrUpdateShortlist></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
--------------------------------------

The versions of CXF are the same (2.2.5). I can’t think what else to check!

Some requested information…

  • @Name is a Seam annotation
  • Configured programmatically
  • Aegis databinding (JAXWS doesn’t like interfaces)

    @Lee Theobald … there’s nothing obvious in your posted question that reveals why it isn’t working for you. In this case, the ‘answer,’ such as it is, is to request assistance on “CXF Users” , and, if necessary, open a JIRA. Playing 20 questions in the question comments isn’t very efficient, and there are a lot more CXF-expert eyeballs on that list than here at this point. We could bring an amended question and answer back over here once the mystery is revealed.
