Joe, thank you so much, your hint worked the snatch in my brain!
What you suggested did not work, but with some small modifications I can now
see my daily Dilbert!
SOAPMappingRegistry smr = new SOAPMappingRegistry();
BeanSerializer beanSer = new BeanSerializer();
StringDeserializer stringSer = new StringDeserializer();
smr.mapTypes(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC,
new org.apache.soap.util.xml.QName("http://tempuri.org/";,
"DailyDilbertImageResult"),
String.class,
beanSer, stringSer
);
Call call=new Call();
call.setSOAPMappingRegistry(smr);
call.setTargetObjectURI("DailyDilbert");
call.setMethodName("DailyDilbertImage");
call.setEncodingStyleURI(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC);
Response response=call.invoke(
new URL("http://www.esynaps.com/WebServices/DailyDiblert.asmx";),
"http://tempuri.org/DailyDilbertImage";
);
if(response.generatedFault()) {
throw new ServiceUnavailableException(response.getFault().toString());
} else {
Parameter respParam=response.getReturnValue();
if(respParam.getValue()!=null) {
return new Base64().decode((String)respParam.getValue());
} else {
throw new ServiceUnavailableException("Function did not return a
value!");
}
}
Why is it that I always have to give a serializer, too. This is of no use on
the client, as well as giving a deserializer on the server?
Anyway, I quickly added a new Service call QuoteOfTheDay, which took about 1
minute of copy&paste, so I've got something to present now.
Again, thank you very much,
Alexander
