How to expose Red5's SharedObjects through SOAP

Question

Edit: Obviously my first question was not really easy to understand, I hope the answer is usefull :)

I have tried installing Axis2 on the Red5 server and everything went ok, I accessed the Red5 app properties from a custom Web Service using Red5's RTMPClient and exposed them through Axis2.

The problem is that doing it that way I have a 2 levels server and I don't really have direct access from the webservice to the sharedobjects, etc... What I would like to do is to be able to access some Red5 apps functions directly through the SOAP service class.

I suppose I will have to create the SOAP server on my own (maybe using Axis's SimpleHTTPServer or SimpleAxis2Server??)

Any ideas??

I hope I explained myself... And thanks in advance

Answer 1

Resolved!!! Instead of using Axis2, I have used JAX-WS which is what I really needed.

I have created a class to use as WebService and expose my SharedObjects

package my.package;
import javax.jws.WebService;
@WebService
public class Red5WS{
 MyApplication app = null;
 public Game(){
  /* Needed but it can be empty */
 }
 public Game(MyApplication app){
  this.app = app;
 }
 public String getAttribute(String SOname, String attrName){
  ISharedObject so = app.getSharedObject(this.app.getScope(), SOname,true);
  return so.getAttribute(attrName);
 }
}

Then I added a call to Endpoint.publish() on MyApplications appStart function to run the WebService as soon as the application is run. I pass this as a parameter to the Red5WS constructor to be able to access applications scope from the web service:

package my.package;
import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
import org.red5.server.adapter.ApplicationAdapter;
public class MyApplication extends ApplicationAdapter{
 @Override
 public boolean appStart (IScope app){
  Endpoint.publish(
   "http://localhost:8080/WebService/red5ws",
   new Red5WS(this));
  }
  return super.appStart();
 }
}

After compiling the Red5 app it's a must to use the wsgen to create the needed WS classes.

wsgen –cp . my.package.Red5WS

Once restarted the Red5 app you should be able to acces web service's WSDL file through:

http://localhost:8080/WebService/red5ws?WSDL
