Hi, I have used Axis 1.4 as Web service Client for consuming some external web services. I have to use a proxy host(in our network) to connect to external services which is currently handled by setting it in the System Properties.
Things were working fine with the defualt HttpSender which handles stuff between Client and the Soap Server. I came across CommonHttpSender which can be used to to get control of some settings like setting connections pools and Connection timeout(which i am interested in) etc., When I replaced the HttpSender to CommonsHttpSender in the clilent-config.wsdd, I am facing problems to get it working.. * Problem 1:* When a proxy is enabled(System Properties) and session enabled( _locator.setMaintainSession(true);) since I need to maintain session I get NullPointerException on Line 190 in CommonsHttpSender ( boolean secure =* hostConfiguration.getProtocol()*.isSecure();) .. I don't why..:-( I fixed(temp work around) it by extending this Sender and overrided the getHostConfiguration() method by adding the below line explicitly config.setHost(targetURL.getHost(), port, targetURL.getProtocol()); in what ever the case may be. *Problem 2:* The above work around fixes the NullPointerException but now get org.apache.commons.httpclient.NoHttpResponseException When I run the same program with out proxy setting (out of our network) I get (404)Object Not Found at org.apache.axis.transport.http.CommonsHTTPSender.invoke( CommonsHTTPSender.java:218) I am not sure why the same Service works with defualt HttpSender but not with the CommonsHttpSender. Is there any thing like configuration etc., which I missed out thats needs to be taken care to plug in the CommonsHttpSender. Any sort of help is appreciated *Environment: Apache Axis 1.4, commons-httpclient-3.0.1.jar, Java 1.5(150_06) and all supporting jars. * Thanks Sri* *
