IOException thrown where not declared?

[David Balažic]

Hi!

I got this stack trace:

 
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: https://some.server.com/foo/services/FooService?wsdl
	at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source)
	at sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionImpl.getInputStream(Unknown Source)

	at javax.xml.ws.Service.<init>(Unknown Source)
	at com.fo.bar.SomeService.<init>(SomeService.java:77)
       ...
   

How can javax.xml.ws.Service.<init> (the constructor protected Service(java.net.URL wsdlDocumentLocation, QName serviceName)) throw an IOException when it does not declare it in a throws clause ?

It is a checked exception that must be declared if thrown, right?

The code in com.fo.bar.FooService.<init>(FooService.java:77) is:

 
@WebServiceClient(name = "FooService", targetNamespace = "urn:fooservice", wsdlLocation = "https://some.server.com/foo/services/FooService?wsdl")
public class FooService
    extends Service
{
    public FooService() {
        super(FOOSERVICE_WSDL_LOCATION, new QName("urn:fooservice", "FooService"));
    }

That's not the stack trace - that's the cause of the stack trace. You can tell by the "caused by". Without seeing the complete stack trace I can't confirm, but I think that this IOException is wrapped into RuntimeException or a subclass of it.

[David Balažic]

The begining is this:

  
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 URL: https://some.server.com/foo/services/FooService?wsdl
	at javax.faces.component.MethodBindingMethodExpressionAdapter.invoke(MethodBindingMethodExpressionAdapter.java:97)
	at com.sun.faces.application.ActionListenerImpl.processAction(ActionListenerImpl.java:91)
	at javax.faces.component.UICommand.broadcast(UICommand.java:383)
  

The "Caused by" code is then called somewhere inside the MethodBindingMethodExpressionAdapter.invoke() call.

javax.faces.el.EvaluationException is a RuntimeException, but I don't see why javax.xml.ws code would be creating JSF classes ???

Doesn't the "Caused by" part tell what exception happened originally at what place ?

[David Balažic]

I also see that the source of the exception:
sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source)

declares:

public synchronized java.io.InputStream getInputStream() throws java.io.IOException

So to me it seems that an IOException was thrown there (in getInputStream()) and it somehow propagated thru the Service(x,z) constructor which does _not_ declare a throws IOException.

Confused....

David, if you see the source of javax.xml.ws.Service class, then you'll see that it calls the javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider.createServiceDelegate to create the service delegate. That method calls some other method and that some other and finally the control reaches to the invoke method of MethodBindingMethodExpressionAdapter class whose invoke method wraps the IOException to EvaluationException as can be seen from this excerpt of the invoke method

   87       try {
   88   	    result = methodExpression.invoke(context.getELContext(),
   89   					     params);
   90   	}
   91   	catch (javax.el.MethodNotFoundException e) {
   92   	    throw new javax.faces.el.MethodNotFoundException(e);
   93   	}
   94   	catch (javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException e) {
   95   	    throw new EvaluationException(e);
   96   	}
   97   	catch (ELException e) {
   98               Throwable cause = e.getCause();
   99               if (cause == null) {
  100                   cause = e;
  101               }
  102               throw new EvaluationException(cause);      <------
  103   	} catch (NullPointerException e) {
  104   	    throw new javax.faces.el.MethodNotFoundException(e);
  105   	}
