Hello,
I am fairly new to axis so I may be missing something very obvious, but I can not get the values of the parameters passed to our webservice from the MessageContext. I am writing an Authorization piece to the service and need to know what the value of the first parameter is to verify that the user can actually make this call.
I have tried to go about this in a couple of ways so far.
msgContext.getOperation().getParameter(0) returns a ParameterDesc which tells me everything about the Parameter except the value. This was somewhat helpful in that I could see the name of the parameter so I know I am getting the correct one. I can not figure out a way to get the value of the parameter using this information though.
RPCElement reqRPC = (RPCElement)msgContext.getRequestMessage().getSOAPEnvelope().getFirstBody();
RPCParam p = reqRPC.getParam("arg0");
The above two lines give me the actual parameter as far as I can tell. performing a println on p shows me that I have the correct parameter again. The output is:
<arg0 soapenc:arrayType="soapenc:string[1]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<item xsi:type="soapenc:string">com.novell.supplychain.Item</item>
</arg0>
The value of item is what I am trying to get (com.novell.supplychain.Item). Calling p.item(0) returns null.
Am I going the right direction or is there an easier/better way to get the value of the parameter?
Any help would be very appreciated.
