Create / Generate Soap Header client stub / java classes using JAX-RPC API

[naveen babu]

Dear Friends,

I tried to generate the Web Service Client Stub in Netbeans 6.1 IDE, but the IDE is generating the Soap Body and not generating the Soap Header stub / java classes.

Can any one help me how to create the Client Soap Header java classes using JAX-RPC API. I want to conver the below wsdl to java classes and use it thru the mobile.

Please some one help me as it is very urgent.

Hello "naveen naveen"-

On your way in you may have missed that we have a policy on screen names here at JavaRanch. Basically, it must consist of a first name, a space, and a last name, and not be obviously fictitious. Since yours does not conform with it, please take a moment to change it, which you can do right here.

As to your question, what do you mean by "SOAP body" and "SOAP header"? The tools don't generate any SOAP, they generate code to make and/or receive SOAP requests. If that's not what's happening in your case, tell us what is happening.

I guess what he meant was the Netbeans IDE does not generate the stub which includes handling the Authentication. Let me explain a bit. I'm having the same issue currently.

I'm trying to consume a web service created in .NET which needs SOAP authentication. Here is a link to the webservice.

The part that you would be most interested is this:

<s:element name="SoapAuthenticationHeader" type="tns:SoapAuthenticationHeader" /> 
      <s:complexType name="SoapAuthenticationHeader"> 
        <s:sequence> 
          <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="Username" type="s:string" /> 
          <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="Password" type="s:string" /> 
        </s:sequence> 
        <s:anyAttribute /> 
      </s:complexType> 

When consuming the web service using the instuctions given here under the sections "Creating Proxy in Java" and "Write code in Java to call web service" fails because we are not able to add the authentication part in the code.

When automatically generating the code in Netbeans it gives us this:

Using JAX-WS

try { // Call Web Service Operation
            org.tempuri.TeleCast service = new org.tempuri.TeleCast();
            org.tempuri.TeleCastSoap port = service.getTeleCastSoap();
            // TODO initialize WS operation arguments here
            int campaignid = 0;
            java.lang.String to = "";
            java.lang.String from = "";
            java.lang.String subject = "";
            java.lang.String body = "";
            java.lang.String uniqueid = "";
            // TODO process result here
            boolean result = port.queueRealTimeEmail(campaignid, to, from, subject, body, uniqueid);
            System.out.println("Result = "+result);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            // TODO handle custom exceptions here
        }

Using JAX-RPC

try { // This code block invokes the TeleCastSoap:queueRealTimeEmail operation on web service
            telecastclient.TeleCast teleCast = new telecastclient.TeleCast_Impl();
            telecastclient.TeleCastSoap teleCastSoap = teleCast.getTeleCastSoap();
            teleCastSoap.queueRealTimeEmail(/* TODO enter operation arguments*/);
        } catch(javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException ex) {
            java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(telecastclient.TeleCast.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch(java.rmi.RemoteException ex) {
            java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(telecastclient.TeleCast.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch(Exception ex) {
            java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(telecastclient.TeleCast.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

At the least when I use JAX-WS method, I get a class called SoapAuthenticationHeader in which I can set the username and password. But I'm not able to bind it with the service or port objects.

org.tempuri.SoapAuthenticationHeader auth = new SoapAuthenticationHeader();
            auth.setUsername("username");
            auth.setPassword("password");

I do not have this option in JAX-RPC method.

Any inputs on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.

pardon me.. i was just hoping this post would catch your attention... if it is against forum rules, please forgive my ignorance...

[Annu Vinayak]

I see that there are no replies to the message by Karthic Raghupathi.

I am facing a smiliar scenario and need to add an authentication header to a JAX RPC client. (The autogenerated stub classes do not contain any classes for adding the header to my SOAP message)

Reuqest you to provide some information on this issue.

Thanks,
Annu

I keep running into such issues every now and then.

I come back to see if there is an answer but no luck yet. Hopefully someone will have an answer soon enough.
