Sorry to those of you that read, the XFire blog, but I thought this was cool enough to justify a cross post:

Guillaume Alleon has been doing some work on integrating Groovy and XFire. Today he announced the release of Groovy Web Services on the XFire mailing list:

I am pleased to announce the second release (aka 0.2) of GroovySOAP.

There’s a WIKI page for it at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GROOVY/Groovy+SOAP

It’s still is the early stages but you are now able to build a web service from a Groovy Object

I especially like the client example:

import groovy.net.groovysoap.SoapServer

def proxy = new SoapClient(“http://localhost:6980/MathServiceInterface?wsdl”)

def result = proxy.add(1.0, 2.0)
assert (result == 3.0)

result = proxy.square(3.0)
assert (result == 9.0)

 No stub generation, just dynamically typed goodness! Very cool!
