Hi,

I need to develop a web services and it needs to be hosted in Adobe CQ. I knew that CQ consume web services from other systems. We will need to create a OSGI bundle for this. I heard that Adobe not recommended to develop web services in CQ. Is it good approach to develop a web services in CQ itself? What happens if we host it in CQ?

Please share your feedback.

Thanks,

As shown in these 2 reponses - CQ supports consuming a soap stack. However - CQ does not expose a SOAP web service. But - CQ does support third party apps sending HTTP Requests to CQ and CQ performing an action and returning data in an HTTP Response. This is really what a SOAP web service (that exposes a WSDL) is. 

You can write a custom Sling Servlet, the SLing Servlet can call other services or perform tasks using Java within CQ and return a HTTP Response that contains data to the invoking app. So CQ supports HTTP Restful web service. 

We have an example of that in this article. A Java app sends an HTTP request and posts data to a CQ Servlet.

if you want to consume 3rd party application through SOAP API, you can create webservices within CQ and host it
