Hello, I have a question and I hope I'll be able to get some help from the list.
Most of the SOAP examples that I have seen and worked with so far use RPC to connect to SOAP server as: ---------------start - RPC----------------------- import org.apache.soap.rpc.*; URL url = new URL("http://genx:80/soap/servlet/rpcrouter"); Call call = new Call(); call.setTargetObjectURI("urn:XcelXmlServer"); call.setMethodName("getMeaning"); call.setEncodingStyleURI(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC); Vector params = new Vector(); params.addElement (new Parameter ("wordToLookup", String.class, "toughWord", null)); call.setParams(params); Response resp = call.invoke(url, ""); Fault fault = resp.getFault(); System.out.print (result.getValue()); ---------------end - RPC ----------------------------- But, I need to use sockets instead: ---------------start - Socket ----------------------------- import javax.net.ssl.SSLSocket; import javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory; String host = "genx"; int port = 80; String submitURL = "/soap/servlet/rpcrouter"; sslSocket = (SSLSocket)factory.createSocket(host, port); sslSocket.startHandshake(); socket = new Socket(host, port); out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream()))); out.println("POST " + submitURL + " HTTP/1.1"); out.println("Host: " + host); out.println("Content-Type: text/xml"); out.println("Content-Length: " + "toughWord".length()); out.println("SOAPAction: \"\"" + "\n"); out.println(SOAP_HEADER + "\n" + toughWord + "\n" + SOAP_FOOTER); in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream())); while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) System.out.println(inputLine); socket.close(); ---------------end - Socket ----------------------------- I have implemented service 'Dictionary' that has a method 'getMeaning'. I can access it via RPC but not via sockets. The values in the above code snippet are the exact values that I am using in my program. My question is: Where (and how) in sockets do I specify the equivalent of call.setTargetObjectURI("urn:XcelXmlServer"); call.setMethodName("getMeaning"); Thanks Nishi
