Hello,
Our Axis 1.3 SOAP application to access Microsoft's Mappoint web services
stopped working after switching to http-client v3RC4 from v3RC3. Specifically
we started receiving 401 (Unauthorized) responses under RC4 where in RC3 it
just worked. After some debugging I traced the problem down to the
HttpMethodDirector.promptForCredentials method lines 856-857. Under RC4 the
call to params.getParameter to get the CredentialsProvider returns a null while
under RC3 it returns a valid CredentialsProvider.
The java code to access the MapPoint services we generated from the MapPoint
WSDL file using WSDL2Java from the Axis 1.3 package. MapPoint authenticates
clients via the DIGEST method and because the built-in Axis web client doesn't
support DIGEST we followed the documentation and configured Axis to use the
commons http-client. Additionally, we are accessing the service via SSL on the
staging servers.
I have included the code to reproduce the problem below. If any http-client
developer would like to tackle this problem please contact me. I might be able
to supply the login credentials to our account in order to spare someone from
having to create a new account and uploading the necessary polygon data to the
servers.
The code below retrieves a URL for a polygon on the servers.
public String getUrl(int entityId) throws MalformedURLException,
javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException, RemoteException {
log.info("EntityID: " + entityId);
FindServiceLocator flocator = new FindServiceLocator();
FindServiceSoap_PortType finder = flocator.getFindServiceSoap();
((FindServiceSoap_BindingStub) finder).setUsername(this.username);
((FindServiceSoap_BindingStub) finder).setPassword(this.password);
// location
FindFilter filter = new FindFilter();
filter.setEntityTypeName(ENTITY_TYPE);
FindByIDSpecification spec = new FindByIDSpecification();
spec.setDataSourceName(DS_POLYGONS);
spec.setEntityIDs(new int[] { entityId });
spec.setFilter(filter);
FindResults found = finder.findByID(spec);
}
