RE: Reasons why Webservice is inaccessible from WAN?

[Girish_Kumar]

Hello,   My problem looks similar to this. I am getting unknown host exception while generating proxy classes using the command java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java service.wsdl. Even if I use the web service URL instead of the wsdl file, it doesn’t work. We have a proxy in the network. I tried using -U and -P parameters. I even set the proxy details through Java Plug-in control panel.   Even if I use the IP address, it still tries to resolve the system name and throws the unknown host exception.   I can ping to the server (the server is actually the local host).   Regards, Girish Kumar     From: Tootell, James [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 10:29 PM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: RE: Reasons why Webservice is inaccessible from WAN?   In addition to proxy servers, also look at the URL you are using to access your webservice.  I've received WSDL from other houses that referenced their internal URLs (e.g. http://companylan/webservice instead of http://companylan.company.com/webservice).  Sometimes it is better to use IP addresses in place of URLs but most of the same visibility issues will still apply.    Do you have any error messages you can post?   JT   From: Anthony Bargnesi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 8:03 AM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: Reasons why Webservice is inaccessible from WAN? Hello, I was wondering if anybody has ever encountered a scenario where your deployed webservice works fine within a LAN but fails when accessing from a WAN.  I have a deployed webservice where accessing it from a WAN causes the client to hang when doing a Call.invoke.  Has anyone encountered this problem or do you think it is more a problem with the client system? Packet capturing was done on the WAN client and discovered that no soap request is made to the webservice.  The axis debug ends with this before hanging indefinately: 968  [main] DEBUG org.apache.axis.client.Call  - operation.getNumParams()=8 968  [main] DEBUG org.apache.axis.client.Call   - getParamList number of params: 8 975  [main] DEBUG org.apache.axis.client.Call  - Enter: Call::invoke(RPCElement) 1006 [main] DEBUG org.apache.axis.i18n.ProjectResourceBundle  - org.apache.axis.i18n.resource::handleGetObject (attachEnabled) 1006 [main] DEBUG org.apache.axis.Message  - Attachment support is enabled?  true But it is clear that a SOAP request is never made to the webservice. Any ideas?
