Creating Adobe CQ bundles that consume web services

You can create an Adobe CQ bundle that consumes data from a third-party web service and then display the data on a web page. For example, assume that you use Adobe CQ to create a web site for a government department that tracks weather information. In this situation, you can create a CQ bundle that retrieves data from a third-party web service and display the data within a form located on a web page. The following illustration shows data being retrieved from a third-party web service and displayed in a JSP.

You can develop an OSGi bundle that contains Java proxy classes that were created by using JAX-WS or AXIS. That is, you can use a tool such as JAX-WS to generate the Java proxy classes that are based on the WSDL of an external web service. Then you can use these Java proxy classes within your OSGi bundle. The OSGi bundle that is created in this development article contains Java proxy classes that consume operations exposed by the following third-party WSDL:
