Axis2 client to invoke NTLM .NET WCF web services

[WeiWei He]

I am using Eclipse 3.4.0 and Axis2-1.4.1 to create a web service client to call a .NET WCF which is using NTLM windows authentication.

I use Axis2 Code Generator to generate a stub called Service1Stub.java first. Then I wrote the following code to try.

package org.tempuri;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.axis2.client.Options;
import org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HttpTransportProperties;

public class WcfClient {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Service1Stub stub;
        try{
            List<String> authSchema = new ArrayList<String>();
            authSchema.add(HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator.NTLM);
            HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator ntlmAuthentication = new HttpTransportProperties.Authenticator();
            ntlmAuthentication.setAuthSchemes(authSchema);
            ntlmAuthentication.setUsername("username");
            ntlmAuthentication.setPassword("password");
            ntlmAuthentication.setHost("myHost");
            ntlmAuthentication.setDomain("myDomain");                                   
                       
            int input = 105;
            String strURL = "http://xxx.xxx.xxx/WcfServiceNTLM/Service1.svc?wsdl";
           
            stub = new Service1Stub(strURL);                                                       
            Options options = stub._getServiceClient().getOptions();           
            options.setProperty(org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants.AUTHENTICATE, ntlmAuthentication);           
            stub._getServiceClient().setOptions(options);       
           
            Service1Stub.GetData getData = new Service1Stub.GetData();
           
            getData.setValue(input);
           
            System.out.println("line 40");
            Service1Stub.GetDataResponse res = stub.GetData(getData);
            System.out.println("line 42");
            System.out.println(res.getGetDataResult());
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Then I got this error when running it. Basically the error happens when calling Service1Stub.GetDataResponse res = stub.GetData(getData);

line 40

Hope someone could give a help. Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Try changing the following line:

String strURL = "http://xxx.xxx.xxx/WcfServiceNTLM/Service1.svc?wsdl"; 

to

String strURL = "http://xxx.xxx.xxx/WcfServiceNTLM/Service1.svc"; 

Best wishes!

Ivan,

Thank you for your reply. I tried as you suggested. But the problem is still the same.

Hi!
A 404 indicates that the requested resource could not be found. Are you sure the service is deployed properly and is accessible from where your client is located?
Try issuing a request for the WSDL in a regular browser to see if this is the case.
Best wishes!
