Query regarding SAAJ API

[Jolly Tiwari]

Hi! Ivan,

As told by you i am able to invoke a web service through a SAAJ client without requiring any client artifacts

Now i have a query regarding a scenario which i am facing , I am making a SOAP message using an external file.
but it is showing strange behaviour.

System.out.println("%%%%%%%%%%Creating a soap message from an external file%%%%%%%%");
		MimeHeaders mh=new MimeHeaders();

		InputStream is=SAAJClient.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("soap_input.xml");

		SOAPMessage msg=msgfactory.createMessage(mh,is);
		[b]msg.writeTo(System.out);[/b]	
	               System.out.println(" ");
		System.out.println("%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%");
		SOAPBody bod=msg.getSOAPBody();
		SOAPHeader hdr=msg.getSOAPHeader();

		System.out.println(hdr);
		System.out.println(bod);

The first msg.writeTo(System.out) is displaying the correct result

%%%%%%%%%%Creating a soap message from an external file%%%%%%%%
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<SOAP-ENV:Body><ns:multiply xmlns:ns="http://saaj.com/"><arg0>80</arg0><arg1>10<
/arg1></ns:multiply></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

but the last two System.out.println() are displaying

[SOAP-ENV:Header: null]
[SOAP-ENV:Body: null]

can you please clarify?

Thanks in Advance

Regards

Jolly

Hi again!
First of all, you should close the input stream from which you read the SOAP message, as I show in my study notes.
Second, if you read the code in my study notes carefully, you would have noticed that it says that if you read a SOAP message from a file and there is a problem with the SOAP message, no error will be given and you won't experience any problems until you, for instance, try to retrieve the body or header of the SOAP message.
To test if your SOAP message has problems, I recommend replacing the contents of your input file with the example on page 200 in my study notes, which I know is correct.
Best wishes!

Hi! Ivan,


I tried your soap_input.xml file also ,everything is running fine but this snippet from my last post

System.out.println(hdr);
System.out.println(bod);

gives

[SOAP-ENV:Header: null]
[SOAP-ENV:Body: null]

Unable to figure out why??
