Hi,
You might push back on this question because it's not real java question but:
I have a java jax-ws service on tomcat.
Until now it was running on http.
I want to move it to https.
So,
I followed these instructions for creating a .keystore file
ssl tomcat
I get to my wsdl via the browser and I see it:
https://localhost:8443/services/WebService?wsdl
but my client is c#. So for creating a stub I am using their wsdl utility.
On http everything was fine but now:
I tried to do:
wsdl https://localhost:8443/services/WebService?wsdl

I got:



what does this mean? I can access the wsdl via the browser!

I tried to download the wsdl and ran: wsdl WebService.wsdl
What I got is:



Why this doesn't work now?

Thanks.

You might be surprised what is "real" when it comes to SOAP web services.

(java.sun.com) The WSIT Tutorial: Developing a Microsoft .NET Client

Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. - The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.



That problem is discussed here: SVCUTIL SSL Could not establish trust relationship

Obviously there is a difference in the way svcutil and your browser deal with these types of errors. You employed the obvious work-around - make a local copy of the WSDL.

Cannot find definition for http://webservices.abc.com:WebServiceEndpointInterface. Service Description with namespace http://webservices.abc.com is missing. Parameter name: name



Basically the tool is saying that the WSDL is incomplete. Playing around with Java 6 JAX-WS I've seen some strange things in the published WSDLs. When I cobbled together the example for the Confusion in writing web service client + jax-ws topic I noticed:
  • the default namespace of "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" is never declared in the WSDL- it is simply assumed.
  • The namespace for the "xsd" prefix is never declared - it is simply assumed to be "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  • The namespace for the "tns" prefix is never declared - it is simply assumed to be identical to the targetNamespace.
  • The namespace for the "soap" prefix is never declared - it is simply assumed to be "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/".



  • My guess is that the definitions element in the copy of the WSDL needs to be changed to something like:


    but I can't be sure without seeing the WSDL.

    As for getting the C# SOAP web service client to work with SSL I suggest that you poke around the MSDN.

    Thanks a lot for such wide answer. But I used the wsdl utility (I don't even have the svcutil utility

    svcutil.exe is part of the Windows SDK. wsdl.exe is part of Visual Studio. The issues remain the same.

    For completeness sake
    https://localhost:8443/services/WebService?wsdl=1
    is also needed. That is what the tool is missing.

    So you need to make a local copy of "wsdl=1" and change the local copy of the WSDL to point to your local copy through its "location" attribute in the import element.

    You have in your local WebService.wsdl:


    With the browser access "https://localhost:8443/services/WebService?wsdl=1" and "Save As" "WebService1.wsdl" in the same directory where "WebService.wsdl" is.

    Then modify your local WebService.wsdl:


    Open a console window; change your working directory to the one that contains WebService.wsdl and WebService1.wsdl. Run wsdl.exe on WebService.wsdl.

    The contents of https://localhost:8443/services/WebService?wsdl=1 may help to shed some light on the matter. It may be referencing another schema - or the tool isn't picking up the local WebService1.wsdl in which case one could build a single wsdl file. But for that it is necessary to see all of the referenced WSDL files and XML Schemas that are published by the web service.

    [EDIT: replaced potentially incorrect single file with corrected set of multiple files]

    This set of files compiles cleanly with wsimport - so give them a go with wsdl.exe.

    WebService.xsd



    WebService1.wsdl



    WebService.wsdl

    Thanks but it's still the same:
    Cannot find definition for http://webservices.abc.com:WebServiceEndpointInterface. Service Description with namespace http://webservices.abc.com is missing. Parameter name: name

    It seems that wsdl.exe is having problems with the WSDL import statement.
    WebService.wsdl defines the service in the "http://webservices.abc.com/" namespace.
    WebService1.wsdl defines the types that the service is based on in the "http://webservices.abc.com" namespace - note the missing backslash at the end.

    Either wsdl.exe can't read WebService1.wsdl at all or it mistakenly carries over the enclosing targetnamespace through the WDSL import - which would cause it define
    {http://webservices.abc.com/}WebServiceEndpointInterface
    rather than
    {http://webservices.abc.com}WebServiceEndpointInterface

    Is this an older version of .NET/Visual Studio?
