Unable to resolve target object:

[Gurumurthy Ramamurthy]

Hi,

I have written a simple web service:

public class SoapService extends Object {

/** Creates new SoapService */
public SoapService() {
}

/** This is the SOAP exposes method
*/
public String sayGreeting(String name)
{
return "Hello "+name;
}
}

I have written an soap.xml file:

<isd:service xmlns:isd="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/deployment"
id="urn:greetingService">
<isd rovider type="java" scope="Request" methods="sayGreeting">
<isd:java class="SoapService" static="false"/>
</isd rovider>
</isd:service>

I have deployed this service in Tomcat:

java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient
http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter deploy soap.xml

It is deplyed also.

I have written a SOAP client:

public class ClientClass {

public static void main(String args[])
{
String urlString = args[0];
String name = args[1];

// build a Call object
Call call = new Call();
call.setTargetObjectURI("urn:greetingService");
call.setMethodName("sayGreeting");
call.setEncodingStyleURI(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC);


//creating a parameter list
Vector params = new Vector();
params.addElement(new Parameter("name", String.class, name,null));

// adding the parameter(s) to the Call object
call.setParams(params);

// invoke the soap method
Response res =null;

try {
res= call.invoke(new URL(urlString), "");



if( res.generatedFault()==false)
{
Parameter retValue = res.getReturnValue();
Object value = retValue.getValue();
System.out.println(value);
}else
{
System.out.println("The faulty is: "+res.getFault().getFaultString());
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SOAPException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}


}
}

When I run this client:
java clientclass http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter yourname

It gives me the error:
Unable to resolve target object: SoapService

Why?

Any thoughts?

Sounds like urn:greetingService does not exist as a defined service.

Is it with Apache Soap ? if yes, check the dds.xml file

[Gurumurthy Ramamurthy]

Yes, I am using APACHE SOAP only. BTW, what did you mean by dds.xml? Is that xml I have written for my app? It is soap.xml which contains:

<isd:service xmlns:isd="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/deployment"
id="urn:greetingService">
<isd rovider type="java" scope="Application" methods="sayGreeting">
<isd:java class="com.tutorial.soap.guru.SoapService" static="false"/>
</isd rovider>
<isd:faultListener>org.apache.soap.server.DOMFaultListener
</isd:faultListener>
</isd:service>
