SpringWS - Problem in invoking webservice

[K Chauhan]

Hi there,

I've just started to work with Spring Webservices. I've created my own wsdl file which I've configured in spring-ws-servlet.xml.

As I intend to use HTTP for messages, so I've configured org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet in web.xml.

Following is the spring-ws-servlet.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
	xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
	xmlns:jee="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd

        http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee http://www.springframework.org/schema/jee/spring-jee-2.0.xsd">
 
 
 	<bean id="messageFactory" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.saaj.SaajSoapMessageFactory">
		<property name="messageFactory">
			<bean class="com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.soap.ver1_1.SOAPMessageFactory1_1Impl"></bean>
	   </property>
   </bean>
 
	<bean id="payloadMapping"
		class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.mapping.PayloadRootQNameEndpointMapping">
		<property name="endpointMap">
			<map>
				<entry key="{http://bk.org/memberservice/}MemberDetailsRequest"
					value-ref="getMemberDetailsEndpoint" />
			</map>
		</property>
	</bean>

	<bean id="memberManager" class="org.bk.memberservice.service.MemberManagerImpl"></bean>
 
	<bean id="getMemberDetailsEndpoint" class="org.bk.memberservice.endpoint.GetMemberDetailsEndpoint">
		<property name="marshaller" ref="marshaller" />
		<property name="unmarshaller" ref="unmarshaller" />
		<property name="memberManager" ref="memberManager" />
	</bean>

	<bean id="MemberDetailsRequest"
		class="org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.SimpleWsdl11Definition">
		<property name="wsdl" value="classpath:/memberservice.wsdl" />
	</bean>

	<bean id="marshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.xstream.XStreamMarshaller">
		   <property name="aliases">
	            <props>
	                <prop key="detailsResponse">org.bk.memberservice.message.MemberDetailsResponse</prop>
	            </props>
        </property>
	</bean>

	<bean id="unmarshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.xstream.XStreamMarshaller">
		   <property name="aliases">
	            <props>
	                <prop key="detailsRequest">org.bk.memberservice.message.MemberDetailsRequest</prop>
	            </props>
        </property>
	</bean>
	
</beans>

Configured end point is extending AbstractMarshallingPayloadEndpoint and implements invokeInternal(Object requestObject) method

I've deployed my code to Tomcat 6 which is running on port 8181.

Now, I can get wsdl file by accessing the location: http://localhost:8181/SpringWS/MemberDetailsRequest.wsdl

Following is my wsdl

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<wsdl:definitions xmlns:ms="http://bk.org/memberservice/"
	xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"

	targetNamespace="http://bk.org/memberservice/">
	<wsdl:types>

					<xsd:element name="phone" type="xsd:string" />

					<xsd:element name="state" type="xsd:string" />
				</xsd:sequence>
			</xsd:complexType>
			<xsd:element name="MemberDetailsRequest">

			<xsd:element name="MemberDetailsResponse">
				<xsd:complexType>
					<xsd:sequence>
						<xsd:element name="memberdetail" type="ms:MemberDetailType" />
					</xsd:sequence>
				</xsd:complexType>
			</xsd:element>
		</xsd:schema>
	</wsdl:types>
	<wsdl:message name="MemberDetailsRequest">
		<wsdl:part element="ms:MemberDetailsRequest" name="parameters" />
	</wsdl:message>
	<wsdl:message name="MemberDetailsResponse">
		<wsdl:part element="ms:MemberDetailsResponse" name="parameters" />
	</wsdl:message>
	<wsdl:portType name="memberservice">
		<wsdl:operation name="GetMemberDetails">
			<wsdl:input message="ms:MemberDetailsRequest" />
			<wsdl:output message="ms:MemberDetailsResponse" />
		</wsdl:operation>
	</wsdl:portType>
	<wsdl:binding name="memberserviceSOAP" type="ms:memberservice">
		<soap:binding style="document"
			transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" />
		<wsdl:operation name="GetMemberDetails">
			<soap:operation soapAction="http://bk.org/memberservice/GetMemberDetails" />
			<wsdl:input>
				<soap:body use="literal" />
			</wsdl:input>
			<wsdl:output>
				<soap:body use="literal" />
			</wsdl:output>
		</wsdl:operation>
	</wsdl:binding>
	<wsdl:service name="memberservice">
		<wsdl:port binding="ms:memberserviceSOAP" name="memberserviceSOAP">
			<soap:address location="http://localhost:9876/memberservice/services/MemberDetailsRequest" />
		</wsdl:port>
	</wsdl:service>
</wsdl:definitions>

Now, I was hoping that webservice would be published to the location: http://localhost:9876/memberservice/services/MemberDetailsRequest which doesn't seem to be the case.

I'm not able to invoke this webservice at the above mentioned location. I've hit a dead end and not able to proceed
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

Could you post the contents of your web.xml file?

[K Chauhan]

Hi James,

Thanks for your reply.

Here goes the web,xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

And welcome to the Ranch, K Chauhan!

[H Paul]

Adjust your code/spring config accordingly. This is what I understand from the URL

http://localhost:9876/memberservice/services/MemberDetailsRequest

1. port 9876 must be up and listening
2. memberservice - web context path
3. services - configured in web.xml

<servlet-mapping>
...
<url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

4. MemberDetailsRequest - this is what you already have

[K Chauhan]

Paul,

Could you please elaborate on point 1) port 9876 must be up and listening
How to ensure that? My Tomcat is running on port 8181.

Thanks for your help.

[H Paul]

At command line, do a telnet to check if 9876 is up.
Probably, you will get an error

>telnet localhost 9876
Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port 9876: Connect failed

[K Chauhan]

Paul,

Yes, I'm receiving the same error.
Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port 9876: Connect failed

I'm not really sure how to proceed on this

[H Paul]

1. The port = 8181 (usually 8080) Edited.

2.1 Change the element <soap:address in wsdl

web context path = SpringWS (if this is what your current value is)

New : <soap:address location="http://localhost:8181/SpringWS/MemberDetailsRequest" />
OR

2.2

New: <soap:address location="http://localhost:8181/memberservice/services/MemberDetailsRequest" />

with web.xml changed

    <servlet>   
        <servlet-name>memberservice</servlet-name>   
        <servlet-class>org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet</servlet-class>   
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>   
    </servlet>   
  
    <servlet-mapping>   
        <servlet-name>memberservice</servlet-name>   
    <url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern>  
    </servlet-mapping>
