I was writing a WSDL-first SOAP 1.1 service (server) using Apache CXF. I needed to directly access the XML DOM of the SOAP Header and Body, so I did not want to use the standard JAXB data binding. My solution was to implement a Provider using message mode. However, retrieving the SOAPAction inside the Provider’s invoke(SOAPMessage msg) method was not intuitive to me.

I prefer to not run web applications as root. authbind allows you to run the application as a user other than root, but bind to ports 80 and 443.

Creating a Java-based service on Linux that will start when the operating system boots and run continuously doesn’t require any extra libraries, despite many internet posts to the contrary.
