This week's book giveaway is in the General Computing forum. We're giving away four copies of Arduino in Action and have Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, and Jordan Hochenbaum on-line! See this thread for details.
The application I'm looking into sends an XML file to an external vendor. The vendor has a web service that we use.
I am relatively new to Java and have very basic knowledge of XML and web services. I need help on 2 items:
1. We use cron to run the job every 5 minutes. Can anyone provide guidance on how I can this process locally on my machine - I have JBuilder X.
2. We have an issue and we would like to be able to see the data we're sending. It uses XML to transfer the data. Is there a way to display it's contents? What would I need to do to achieve that?
Instead of using an HTTP sniffer, it would probably be easier to use a tool like TCPMon, which understands web service requests, and can show request and reply in a very nice, structured view. It acts as a WS proxy, so after starting it up, you need to point your WS requests to it, and tell TCPMon where to send them. That's all explained in the documentation, and not hard to set up.
