Unable to test webservice using a client

[Parijat Mukherjee]

Hi ,

I am using tomcat version 5 and Axis 1_2RC2 .I have successfully deployed the web service http://localhost:8080/axis/helloWorld.jws .But i am unable to test the service .I have written a client code as follows :
import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType;
import org.apache.axis.utils.Options;

import javax.xml.rpc.ParameterMode;

public class CalcClient
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{



String endpoint = "http://localhost:8080/axis/HelloServer.jws";





String method = "sayHelloTo";



Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();

call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );
call.setOperationName( method );
call.addParameter( "op1", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN );
call.setReturnType( XMLType.XSD_STRING );
String ret = (String)call.invoke("","sayHelloTo",new Object [] {args[0]});
System.out.println(ret);
}
}

But when I try to execute this I am getting the following exceptions :

- Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler and javax.mail.i
nternet.MimeMultipart). Attachment support is disabled.

Can some please help as I am a newcomer to the web services .
Thanks

connection refused exception will come when u r behind a firewall and other proxy related issues. if so try below code in your client program:

System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "<your proxy ip>");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "<your proxy port>");

Thanks Priya ,

But I am not behind any firewall or proxy .Again the error saying "- Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler and javax.mail.i
nternet.MimeMultipart)." is not understood as I have already set the classpath for activation.jar and mail.jar which has the above mentioned classes .

Can you see the wsdl file by using http://localhost:8080/axis/helloWorld.jws?wsdl ??

Hi Parijat,

You must start your Tomcat before running the AdminClient through java command.
As that class has a URL as command line argument http://localhost:8080/axis/services/AdminService
so the client needs to connect to the servlet.

Also, just for additional information, the command is,

java -classpath .;%CLASSPATH% org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient <.wsdd file path> -l http://localhost:8080/axis/services/AdminService

Best of luck !!!
