RE: how to call a document style web service?

[Ephemeris Lappis]

Hello.

I suppose that if you have the wsdl for your web service, you can generate the client stubs, and use them to call it. If you want, you can also build a call by yourself using dynamic invocation, setting appropriate style, etc.

 

Here are few lines from an old test program that builds a literal call to a service operation named "evaluate" that takes a string as argument and also returns a string. You must adapt the namespaces, names, parameters and endoint URL according to your real service. I'm not sure this code work as is with recent versions, but this is a base idea... You must also take care about the classes you use. In my example, it seems that i were using axis specific classes (Call, Service), but i think it should be better to only use the jaxrpc API to ensure future compliance...

 

I hope this can help you...

Helo all,

 

I am using axis 1.2 (java).. I built a document style
webservice, which has following method..

public Geocode onfromto(OnfromtoInputs inputs);

I started writing a client to call this web service
method.. but I could not find any API to call a web
service method with soap envelope.. can you please throw
some light on this ... ?

Thanks for your time, GK.

==== I started writing a client something like this..


// create envelope
SOAPEnvelope env = new SOAPEnvelope();

// create body
SOAPBody body = env.addBody();

// Create body
Name bodyName =
env.createName("onfromto","m","http://mydomain.domain/onfromto");
SOAPBodyElement bodyElement =
body.addBodyElement(bodyName);

Name nameAddress = env.createName("address");
SOAPElement eleAddress =
bodyElement.addChildElement(nameAddress);
eleAddress.addTextNode("2425 springdale"); 

Name nameGeoCodingTarget = env.createName("codingtarget");
SOAPElement eleGeo =
bodyElement.addChildElement(nameGeoCodingTarget);
eleGeo.addTextNode("0");

Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress(strEndpoint);

How to invoke with soap envelop.... ?

Thanks for your time

Kiran
