Colbert Philippe commented on CXF-7120:
---------------------------------------
I am disappointed that I can't get a clear answer from you. The question is
the same as in the first letter.
QUESTION: Can a JavaScript (or any other dynamic language) be written to call
ANY Apache CXF web-service (especially asynchronous services), as shown in the
example I showed in my previous letter.
I am an experienced professional programmer myself. I am tempted to answer NO
to that question because of CXF use of complex structures like Future<>,
AsynchHandler and others. If I am right, it would be SERIOUS flaw of Apache
CXF, because CXF is too tied up with Java, not considering other language
interfacing. I hope that I am wrong on this!
Most web-site clients are written in JavaScript because it's the language most
often supported in web-browser. That's non-controversial. So asking for a
JavaScript code sample for the client for CXF Asynchronous web-service is not
an extreme question. JavaScript programmers will not know what to do. The
answer must come from CXF developers!
> Can CXF REST sync and async WS compatible with JavaScript client?

> Key: CXF-7120
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-7120
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: JAX-RS
> Reporter: Colbert Philippe
> Assignee: Sergey Beryozkin
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: async, asynchronous, javascript, jscript, perl, python,
> ruby, sync, synchronous
>
> When writing a real web application the client is likely going to be written
> in JavaScript in a web-browser and if the server uses CXF then it's in Java.
> I think it's the case for a vast majority of CXF users.
> 1) QUESTION: Can we write a synchronous web service using CXF JAX-RS (REST)
> in Java and invoke it from JavaScript? Are there any features that are not
> supported by JavaScript?
> 2) QUESTION: Can we write an asynchronous web service using CXF JAX-RS
> (REST) in Java and invoke it from JavaScript? Are there any features that
> are not supported by JavaScript?
> I think many of us would appreciate a chapter in the documentation that talks
> about scenarios when using different languages as clients, JavaScript is one,
> but the client could as well be in Python, Ruby, Perl. You should
> recommend frameworks from other languages that have been tested to work with
> CXF. Please, cover both the synchronous and asynchronous case. A
> compatibility table should be given to out all client frameworks that have
> been tested to work with CXF.
