Description

I am not sure if this is a feature or bug introduced in version 2.7.1 (or greater) but below is the behavior I noticed when GET request is sent to the BARE CXF web service using web browsers.

Code Snippets:

@WebService
@SOAPBinding(parameterStyle = SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.BARE)
public interface HelloWorld
{
@WebMethod(action = "/sayHi")
@WebResult(name = "strResponse", partName = "strResponse")
public String sayHi();

@WebMethod(action = "/sayHiToUser")
@WebResult(name = "strResponse", partName = "strResponse")
String sayHiToUser(@WebParam(name="user") String user);
}

@WebService
public class HelloWorldImpl implements HelloWorld
{
@Override
public String sayHi()

{ return "Hi there..."; }

@Override
public String sayHiToUser(String user)

{ return "Hi " + user; }

}

<jaxws:endpoint
id="helloWorld"
implementor="com.cxf.service.HelloWorldImpl"
address="http://127.0.0.1:8080/HelloWorld"
endpointName="e:HelloWorld"
xmlns:e="http://service.jaxws.cxf.apache.org/endpoint">
</jaxws:endpoint>

Environment/Configs:

• Java 1.6
• Spring 3.0.0
• CXF 2.7.0 / 2.7.1
• CXF web service starts within embedded Jetty using spring context

Detailed Explanation:

CXF Version 2.7.0:

When I access this web service using web browser with URL "http://127.0.0.1:8080/HelloWorld" (No ?wsdl at the end), I am getting "No such operation" response back in the web browser for both BARE & WRAPPED ParameterStyle which is the expected behavior.

CXF Version 2.7.1 (or greater):

ParameterStyle WRAPPED: When I access this web service using web browser with URL "http://127.0.0.1:8080/HelloWorld" (No ?wsdl at the end), I am getting "No binding operation info while invoking unknown method with params unknown." response back in the web browser which is the expected behavior.

ParameterStyle BARE: When I access this web service using web browser with URL "http://127.0.0.1:8080/HelloWorld" (No ?wsdl at the end), I am getting "Hi there..." response back in the web browser. It calls sayHi() operation/method but there is no SOAPAction specified in the GET request header. This is NOT the expected response. I was expecting the same response as ParameterStyle WRAPPED.

Results:

CXF Version: 2.7.0
• URL: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/HelloWorld" (Using web browser and no ?wsdl at the end)
• ParameterStyle: BARE / Response: No such operation
• ParameterStyle: WRAPPED / Response: No such operation
• Expected Result? YES.

CXF Version: 2.7.1 (or greater)
• URL: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/HelloWorld" (Using web browser and no ?wsdl at the end)
• ParameterStyle: BARE / Response: Hi there... / Called sayHi()
• ParameterStyle: WRAPPED / Response: No binding operation info while invoking unknown method with params unknown.
• Expected Result? NO. BARE should return the same result as WRAPPED
