axis2

If you want to call an Axis2 service from Javascript you will face the problem that the XML response of an Axis2 service call contains XML namespaces - something Javascript doesn’t like in cross-browser-friendly way. The idea to fix this issue is to make an XSLT transformation directly from Axis2 that removes the unnecessary namespaces. First we need an XSLT transformation that will do the job: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output indent="no" method="xml"></xsl:output> <xsl:template match="/|comment()|processing-instruction()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates></xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:element name="{local-name()}"> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"></xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="@*"> <xsl:attribute name="{local-name()}"> <xsl:value-of select="....

It is said that in Java usually the easiest things are the hardest. The following is a nice example as it took me some time to figure out how to do it. I wanted to build a simple URL request based web service in Java that returns an JSON object. Yes, you can do that with a simple Servlet too, the advantage of using Axis2 is that you can also call your deployed services using SOAP without any configuration changes....
