REPOST - RE: calling gSoap server from Axis client - "method not implemented" error

[Joe Johannsen]

Didn't get any suggestions on this so thought I'd ping one more time. Does gSoap work well with Axis? What are some debugging tips for me? Where can I read about QName()?

Thanks,
Joe

What I meant is I'm calling a web service called magic on my test server. The method name is magic ... this is one of the gSoap examples; here's the gSoap sample client C++ code snippet:

const char magicserver[] = "http://192.168.0.2:2222/";
.
.
.
  matrix *A = soap_new_matrix(&soap, -1);
  r = rand()%20;
  if (soap_call_ns1__magic(&soap, magicserver, NULL, r, A))....

I could understand if I got an error about the parameters, as I think I need to be accepting a return value that's a matrix, not a string. But the error "method not implemented" seems to indicate it's not finding it at all. Could it be that the method signature is different because I have the i/o params wrong?

Your email description says you're calling a "server" named magic, but in the code you set the service operation name (eg, RPC method name) to "magic".  Are you sure that operation shouldn't be something like:
 
           call.setOperationName(new QName("http://soapinterop.org/", "echoString"));

Subject: calling gSoap server from Axis client - "method not implemented" error

I've looked thru archives and see quite a few questions about compatibility with gSoap and not too many answers to the questions. I am using Axis 1.1 RC 1 and gSoap 2.2.2, trying to call the example gSoap server named "magic" from vanilla java code (below). I have verified the server responds using a gSoap client, but cannot get my Axis client to work with it. The error I get back is "Method 'ns1:magic' not implemented".

Questions:

1. How compatible are Axis and gSoap?

2. why doesn't it work? How can I look more deeply at this problem?

3. As a newbie to Axis I could also use tips on where I can read something in detail on QName() - I don't have an understanding of what that is doing or why http://soapinterop.org is referenced there.

Thanks,

Joe
