Add support for WebServiceFeature's to JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean [SPR-5712]

[spring-projects-issues]

Rustam Abdullaev opened SPR-5712 and commented

The current implementation of JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean does not support specifying any WebServiceFeature's for the client proxy. A Web Service Feature is another way of extending functionality of web services, similar to SOAP handlers (but different).

It seems like JaxWsPortClientInterceptor.prepare() always invokes Service.getPort(QName portName, Class serviceEndpointInterface), there is no way to invoke Service.getPort(QName portName, Class serviceEndpointInterface, WebServiceFeature... features) using Spring at this time.

There should be a way to specify additional web service features while configuring JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean similar to the way handlers are specified.

I have an implementation of this feature, that I use to enable the XML schema validation of the JAX-WS RI from SUN. Only problem is the WebServiceFeature is a jax-ws 2.1 feature, which is available in JSE 6, but not J2se 5. Does Spring 3 require jse 6?

Spring does not require Java SE 6 yet, and won't be able to do so any time soon: primarily for Java EE 5 compatibility (since EE 5 servers usually ship with SE 5 underneath) as well as for WebSphere 6.1 compatibility (a J2EE 1.4 server on Java SE 5).

That said - we do compile against Java SE 6 and hence may support JAX-WS 2.1 features when available. There are ways to support WebServiceFeatures that way, while at the same time preserving compatibility with JAX-WS 2.0. I'll see what we can do for Spring 3.0.3 still.

Added for Spring 3.0.3, in the form of a "webServiceFeatures" bean property on JaxWsPortClientInterceptor/PortProxyFactoryBean: accepting an array of WebServiceFeature objects (e.g. specified as inner <bean> elements) or WebServiceFeature class name Strings (with feature objects to be constructed through their default constructor).
