Hi,
i wanted to know how excatly the difference b/w calling a webservice
using AXIS and SAAJ.
Is there any extra features provided by SAAJ, apart from attachements.
In SAAJ, we will call the webservice,like
SOAPConnectionFactory connectionFactory =
SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage message =messageFactory.createMessage();
SOAPBody body =message.getSOAPBody();
SOAPFactory factory = SOAPFactory.newInstance();
String endPointURL = "http://localhost:8081/axis/services/order";;
SOAPMessage response =connection.call(message,endPointURL);
In Axis, we will call, like
GeneralItem gi = new GeneralItem();
gi.setItem("snacks");
gi.setQuantity("4");
LiquitItem lt = new LiquitItem();
lt.setQuantity("5");
lt.setType("Hot Drinks");
FoodItem fi = new FoodItem();
fi.setLt(lt);
Item it = new Item();
it.setFi(fi);
it.setGi(gi);
com.items.Order or = new com.items.Order();
String endPointURL="http://localhost:8081/axis/services/order";;
Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
QName qn = new QName( "urn:Order", "order" );
call.registerTypeMapping(com.items.Order.class, qn,
new
org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory(com.items.Order.class, qn),
new
org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory(com.items.Order.class,
qn));
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endPointURL) );
call.setOperationName( new QName("Order", "processOrder") );
call.addParameter( "arg1", qn, ParameterMode.IN );
call.setReturnType( org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.XSD_STRING );
result =(String)call.invoke(new Object[] {it});
In the above axis code, we are passing the bean, where as
using SAAJ, we are constructing the SOAP Request using SOAP API.

Didnt see anyone respond so i found this test harness from

try {
MessageFactory fac =
MessageFactory.newInstance(SOAPConstants.SOAP_1_2_PROTOCOL);
//MessageFactory fac = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage msg = fac.createMessage();
SOAPPart soapPart = msg.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();
SOAPBody body = envelope.getBody();
AttachmentPart ap;
//replace the fileName here with your attachment
String fileName = System.getProperty("basedir", ".") +

ap = msg.createAttachmentPart(inputStream, "text/xml");
DataHandler dh = new DataHandler(new SAAJDataSource(inputStream,
1000, "text/xml", true));
StringBuffer sb1 = copyToBuffer(dh.getInputStream());
assertNotNull(ap);
//Verify attachment part is not empty and contents are correct
try {
Object o = ap.getContent();
InputStream is = null;
assertNotNull(o);
if (o instanceof StreamSource)
{
StreamSource ss = (StreamSource)o;
is = ss.getInputStream();
}
else
{
fail("got object: " + o + ", expected object:
javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource");
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
fail("attachment has no content - unexpected");
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
fail("Exception: " + e);
}

Subject: RE: difference b/w bean mapping using SOAPBody
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. My focus is to send a SOAP Request to the
webservice,which is already exposed and get the response . That's it
nothing more than that. No manipulation, nothing
What is bothering me is that whether i have to pass the bean
class to AXIS / create the SOAP Request using SAAJ.
One more thing is i need to send one attachment along with
this SOAPRequest. So if i go for bean , how can i pass this attachement.

Hi,
When you receive a SOAP response from a web service, the contents must match
the WSDL/XSD schema defined for that service operation. I believe what you
want is to take that XML and send it back out in another slightly different
format. That amounts to changing from one schema to another, and I believe
that's outside the scope of Axis2.
You might be able to write a simple translator framework that converts one
XML to another using mappings between one property to another, but it might not
be straightforward as that.
Keep in mind that Axis2 primaly handles sending/receiving SOAP. It does
comes with various data binding options built-in. The actual data binding tool
used (i.e. XmlBeans) mainly handles serialization between XML and the Java type
for a given XSD schema. To change from one schema to another, you'd have do
write additional code for that.

Subject: difference b/w bean mapping using SOAPBody
Hi,
I am new bie to AXIS. I have to send a SOAP Request in the following
format
<general>
<item>SOAP</item>
<version>1.1</version>
</general>
<item>
<foodItem>
<type>liquid</type>
<quantity>1</quantity>
</fooditem>
</item>
I had gone through SAAJ API and found that it is very easy to
construct the same SOAP Request.
My question is the same can be build using bean mapping concept in
AXIS..
Is there any difference in sending the SOAP Request using AXIS
with bean serialization an by using SAAJ API.
Can any body suggest me how to proceed further
Thanks,
ram
