Depends, mine has no changes for SOAP under Tomcat 4.1

No.

Either put the .war in the webaps directory or copy the webapps\soap
direcotry to webapps. You may need to get soap.jar into the classpath. I put
it into soap\web-inf\lib.

Should be ok.

Please read the Tomcat docs, there is a good explaination of Tomcat class

RE: Serializing an array of beans

[Hansen, Richard]

On the client all I do is register the serializer for my object.

// prepare the mapping registry
registry = new SOAPMappingRegistry();
//QName qname = new QName("http://www.stringservice/xsd";, "StringBean");
QName qname = new
QName("http://www.themindelectric.com/package/service.common/";,
"StringBean");
 
BeanSerializer serializer = new BeanSerializer();
registry.mapTypes(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC, qname, StringBean.class,
serializer, serializer);

RE: Serializing an array of beans

[Hansen, Richard]

I don't think you normally need to worry about array serialization. I think
it will just happen. You do need to worry about serializing your bean. But
if the bean class is properly registered with a serializer arrays should
just work. The only reason I needed to register the arrays was so MS SOAP
would work. In my Java client I just registered a serializer for my bean.

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; 
 xmlns:x="" qname="x:stringArray" 
 
xml2JavaClassName="org.apache.soap.encoding.soapenc.ArraySerializer"/>

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; 
 xmlns:x="" qname="x:stringBeanArray" 
 
xml2JavaClassName="org.apache.soap.encoding.soapenc.ArraySerializer"/>

RE: Help to run soap example.

[Hansen, Richard]

Please read the documentation, it says :

"The service does not support the invoked method. If your service
implementation class has the method, then it may be that your deployment
descriptor doesn't publish that method. Check your deployment descriptor.
The  element may contain more detailed information."

Make sure deployed name of the method is the same as the actual class method
name.

RE: Is Apache SOAP a turnstile?

[Hansen, Richard]

Why would you expect it to block using application scope? If your methods
are not synchronized (which they probably should not be) I don't think they
block. The Apache SOAP scoping controls how many instances of a service
class are created and when they are created. Application equals one global
instance, request means one instance per request, session means one per http
session.

I suppose it is also possible that his rpcrouter servlet has been setup to
use the single threaded servlet model.

Not over http anyway. Perhaps using smtp or some type of messaging

RE: Java Exceptions Vs. SOAP fault

[Hansen, Richard]

To get this past the router you will need to define a new fault listener for
your service. This listener can then listen for you exceptions and build
custom faults. Check in the docs on how to do this.

Subject: Java Exceptions Vs. SOAP fault



Hi,

I am trying to understand how exception handling works  with SOAP.  My
service on the server side can throw an exception (either MyException1 or
MyException2) based on specific condition on the server side. When the
server throws an exception, all I am getting at the client side is a Falut
(with fault code SOAP-ENV:Server) and faultString.  I am missing the error
code with the exception thrown at the server. Here is the sample code, I am
trying:

public class MyException1 extends Exception {
   public static int REASON1 = 100;
   public static int REASON2 = 200;
  
   private int errCode;
   MyException1(int _errCode, String msg)
   {
  super(msg);
  errCode = _errCode;
   }
}

public class MyException2 extends Exception {
   public static int REASON1 = 555;
   public static int REASON2 = 666;
  
   private int errCode;
   MyException1(int _errCode, String msg)
   {
  super(msg);
  errCode = _errCode;
   }
}

public class MyServer {
   public void testIt(int testCondition) throws ServiceException1,
ServiceException2
   {
  if(testCondition == 1)
  {
 throw new MyException1(MyException1.REASON1, "this is exception1");
  }
  else if(testCondition == 2)
  {
 throw new MyException2(MyException2.REASON1, "this is exception2");
  }
   }
}

Client:


import java.net.URL;
import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.Iterator;
import org.apache.soap.SOAPException;
import org.apache.soap.Constants;
import org.apache.soap.Fault;
import org.apache.soap.rpc.Call;
import org.apache.soap.rpc.Parameter;
import org.apache.soap.rpc.Response;

public class MyClient {

 public testIt() throws MyException1, MyException2
 {
   URL url = new url("   http://blah..blah";);
 Call call = new Call();
   Vector param = new Vector();
 params.addElement(new Parameter("testValue",Integer.class, new
Integer(10), null));
 call.setParams(params);
 call.setTargetObjectURI("urn:MyServer");
 call.setMethodName("testIt");
 call.setEncodingStyleURI(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC);

 // Invoke the call.
 Response resp = null;
 try
 {
resp = call.invoke(url, "");
 }
 catch( SOAPException e )
 {
System.err.println("Caught SOAPException (" + e.getFaultCode() +
"): " + e.getMessage());
System.exit(-1);
 }
  
 // Check the response.
 if( !resp.generatedFault() )
 {
Parameter ret = resp.getReturnValue();
 }
 else
 {
Fault fault = resp.getFault();   
System.err.println("Generated fault: ");
System.err.println(fault.toString());

Vector entries = fault.getDetailEntries(  );
for (Iterator i = entries.iterator(); i.hasNext(  ); ) {
org.w3c.dom.Element entry = (org.w3c.dom.Element)i.next(  );
System.out.println(entry.getFirstChild().getNodeValue(  ));
}
   
//Find out what is the exception thrown by the server and reason
for the exception
//recreate the exception object (MyException1 or MyException2)
and throw it to the
//above layers for more proessing.??? How do I do this

 }
  }
  catch(Exception e)
  {
 e.printStackTrace();
  }
   }  
}

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and I appreciate, if somebody helps me
with some useful example code.

RE: SOAP Messaging vs. POSTing xml

[Hansen, Richard]

I think a lot of it is ease of creation and maintenance. The soap server
takes care of all the XML processing, all you deal with is normal Java data
types. You get to write normal Java classes deploy them in the server. You
don't need to write a multitide of servlets, each with XML parsing, to
handle each service request type.

Subject: DateSerializer bug fix


It appears that the DateSerializer does need some synchronized blocks. I
verified that the Date output from unmarshall() is not always equivalent to
the string value input to unmarshall(). So, I placed synchronized blocks
around the SimpleDateFormat.format() calls. This seems to have fixed the
problem. I did not explore how serializers are created and used. I assume
they shared and that is why there are synchronization issues?

I looked at most of the serializers/deserializers in the
org.apache.soap.encoding.soapenc package and Date and Calendar seem to be
the only ones with member variables. I think Calendar has the same problem
as it also creates a SimpleDateFormat object.

I have marked my chages below, so I hope someone will commit them. If there
is a better way to fix this I would like to hear about it.

Thanks

RE: Having SOAP server return a Response object

[Hansen, Richard]

Unless I misunderstand, why don't you just return an object that contains
your strings as member fields? Give it public getters and setters, like a
Java bean, for each string. The XML will have the names in the element tag
for each string. You will need to register a serilaizer/deserializer for the
class in the type mapping registry. But you can use supplied BeanSerializer.

Just a thought. I have started putting shared things like xerces.jar,
mail.jar, etc. in the "extensions" directory. On Windows this is
"jre\lib\ext", in two locations the jdk home and "program files\javasoft".
This avoids some of the classpath annoyances and makes sure things like
xerces get loaded and get loaded first. I don't think I could put soap.jar
there because then it could not find the deployed services file. I highly
recommend this approach.

Could there be something in the "extensions" directory. It does not show up
in the classpath, but stuff there will get loaded first.

RE: wsdl output message parts

[Hansen, Richard]

Apache SOAP does not, at least with normal use, allow multiple output
parameters. I always return objects from my service methods. So my WSDL
response message has a single entry for a complex type of some sort.

RE: Sending large string's (175 kb)

[Hansen, Richard]

Is the data coming back as a single string or an array of 1400 individual
XML items? I ran into a similar problem sending back an array of many small
strings. There was more XML tag data than actual application data. It seems
to take a long time to build all the XML elements also. I ended up sending
back a comma separated string instead of an array.

Subject: Sending large string's (175 kb)


Hi,
 
 
I'm using SOAP to call a method, that returns a String, this String is the
result of a query made to a database, this query returns about 1400 records,
each record contains 6 fields, if i save this string as a .txt file this
will have about 175 Kb of size.
 
 
The big problem, is the time I have to wait for the answer (about 1 minute
). Is there any way of speeding up this process?
 
 
Thank You
 
Luís Pinho
 
 
P.S: To build the string from the record set's returned by the query it
takes about 3 seconds, the time between -> return string_with_results; (in
the method that belongs to a class that is deployed in SOAP and is called)
and the servlet( that makes the call to the SOAP) to get the results it's
about 1 minute.

RE: How do you retrieve complex Java objects from a non-Java client.

[Hansen, Richard]

Yes, clients parse the XML and put it into some data structure that is
appropriate for the language. Some client languages support object some
don't. The data comes in a standard data structure in XML. SOAP use XML
Schema so data typing is standardized. With MS you need to either write
deserializers or extract what you want from the raw XML. Check the MS
toolkit docs on this.

RE: How do you retrieve complex Java objects from a non-Java client.

[Hansen, Richard]

There are no Java "objects" involved. SOAP messages are transported XML as
text. It is  totally up to the client to extract the message into whatever
kind of data structure is appropriate. Check the MS Soap Toolkit on how to
handle complex types.

It would seem that your servlet engine classpath does not have soap.jar.

RE: Design Help

SOAP already serializes objects to XML. It is a matter of how the clients
get them out of the message.

RE: How to handle faults?

[Hansen, Richard]

I have implemented your first choice. In my reading of the spec it is
perfectly OK, even expected, to extend the fault code mechanism. I think you
want to make sure to follow the spec about using SERVER and CLIENT. You are
right that a fault listener is what you need to get this done.

RE: Beginner question : Client throwing AbstractMethodError

[Hansen, Richard]

>From the Java API docs :

public class AbstractMethodError

extends IncompatibleClassChangeError

Thrown when an application tries to call an abstract method. Normally, this
error is caught by the compiler; this error can only occur at run time if
the definition of some class has incompatibly changed since the currently
executing method was last compiled.

RE: Java Client Deserializer

[Hansen, Richard]

Do you really want he ouput as XML? I haven't done anything with literal
XML, but can you desrialize that to a String or should it be some kind of
XML dom element? The message looks to me like you should just be able to
register it as a soap encoding to a java string using the
StringDeserializer.

Hi,

I've tried adding a deserializer like the following code and it still didn't
work

SOAPMappingRegistry smr = call.getSOAPMappingRegistry();
StringDeserializer sd = new StringDeserializer();
smr.mapTypes (Constants.NS_URI_LITERAL_XML, new QName ("",

RE: How do I set encoding style using VB Script

[Hansen, Richard]

If you have not already, you should look at the interop docs in Apache Soap
2.2. I don't know if adding a type mapping to mapping registry on the Soap
server will help, but that is the normal solution to "no serializer found"
errors. You will probably have better luck asking VB specific questions in
the MS Soap news groups.

RE: SOAP Method without returnValue - possible?

[Hansen, Richard]

Yes, but I beleive that call.invoke always expects a response from the
server. In your case the response just does not have anything in it. At
least with the RPC transport I don't think you can just send off a message
and continue on immediately not bothering to wait for a response from the

Problems with the .NET parts would probably be best posted to some MS

RE: Apache SOAP webservice & .NET client

[Hansen, Richard]

I would guess that the xsi:type problems you are having may be no different
than when getting an MS client to talk to a Apache Java service. Apache
requires the type info and MS does not include it. You should look at the
interop docs. 

I would think you could just define QNames for the params on the client side
and add them to the mapping registry. This is the same thing you would do
for an MS client and Java server.

RE: Problems with Examples

[Hansen, Richard]

The likely reasons are in the FAQ! This often indicates some type of
classpath problem. The rpcrouter cannot find the service classes. I think of
it as classdef not found error.

RE: VB/Apache problem-- void Java method always cause VB Client t o fa il.

[Hansen, Richard]

Just create a "message" entry with no "part". Then in the port section of
your WSDL define the "output message" as being that message type. Make sure
you have an "output" in the proper "operation" section of the binding also.

You should define an empty response type in the WSDL file.

RE: MS SOAP Client / Apache SOAP server

[Hansen, Richard]

t seems like you need to do some noraml debugging kinds of tasks. Maybe you
should try running it under the TCPTunnel to see better what is happening.
It really sounds like a VB code problem. Is your code finishing the init? Is
it making the getS call? You can check the MS soa help for gettting the
fault from a response.

RE: MS SOAP Client / Apache SOAP server

[Hansen, Richard]

Sounds like the MS side is having a problem. Is a SOAP message actually
getting sent? Are you checking for SOAP faults on the client? If the message
is sent and reaches the correct end point, then you will either get a
response (which MS may still not be able to parse) or a SOAP fault from the

Subject: MS SOAP Client / Apache SOAP server



 Do I need to do something special when calling methods like:
 int getIntegerValue() in Apache SOAP server
 from MS SOAP client?
 What about getStringValue()?

 MS SOAP client reads WSDL correctly, but when it invokes the method,
 RPCRouter doesn't instantiate the SOAP server object.


 MS SOAP then displays "Application-defined or object-defined error"

 What am I missing?

RE: How to set output parameters in my server code

[Hansen, Richard]

Apache SOAP does not support out params.


Hi, 
I am trying to invoke a java method of a java service on server (via
.../servlet/rpcrouter to deploy this service, actually just a java class
containing that method). My problem is, this method will not only return a
value, it will also have some output parameters. I guess on client side I
can use getParams() method of Response class to get these parameters, but
how do I set these output parameters in the method on server side (to send
them to client)? I could not find any example usage from the samples coming
together with Apache soap server.

thanks 
Yong Chen

RE: NoSuchMethod Exception

[Hansen, Richard]

>From the FAQ in the docs for soap 2.2:

1.5 Help! The Samples won't work. Every time I run a sample client I get
this response: "Fault String = java.lang.NoSuchMethodError"
Ensure that:
(a) You have deployed the sample service you want to use. 
(b) Xerces.jar is the very first entry in your classpath (set this in
tomcat.bat or tomcat.sh as per the SOAP installation instructions).
(c) There are no other XML parsers in your classpath. Some people have
experienced this problem due to an early version of the JAXP package hiding
in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext.
(d) The sample classes are in the server's CLASSPATH.

-Original Message-
I just installed Apache Soap version 2.1 on Tomcat 3.2 on a Windows 2000
machine. I have Xerces version 1.23. When I try to run a client connecting
to a deployed service, I get the following exception 
 
Generated Fault:
Fault Code = SOAP-ENV:Server.Exception:
Fault String = java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
 
 
Can anyone please help?

Here is what worked for me:

targetNamespace="http://www.registrationservice/xsd";
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/";>

RE: WSDL

[Hansen, Richard]

Not really. Over at http://www.pocketsoap.com/wsdl/ there is a validator,
but the last time I used it it did not . The best thing I came up
with was to create a VB app that tries to create a high level client from
WSDl. Then I try to figure out the WSDL problem from any errors that occur.

Here are a couple examples of arrays. Don't know if you can directly specify
vectors or hashtables as I don't believe they are SOAP defined types.

RE: WSDL

[Hansen, Richard]

That's the way I understand it. But that is better than changing each client
I guess.

RE: WSDL

[Hansen, Richard]

The address location holds the URL that a client reading the WSDL will use
to connect to the service. What you have looks right to me.
