should work the same in C++.

  Serializer.SoapAttribute "type", , "xsd:string", "xsi"
  Serializer.writeString "client 1"

RE: Help with parameters in Apache SOAP client and .NET SOAP service

[Steve Stacey]

Title: RE: Help with parameters in Apache SOAP client and .NET SOAP service





I have a java SOAP 2.2 client talking to a .Net service. I did not have any problems with the Request, but the Response was a pain. After the .Net Service identified the response with a String attribute and I used the SOAPMappingRegistry, all was fine.

However with Regards to my Request code - I am not importing an XML doc, but constructing one using a Vector of Parameter objects. I do not specify an XSI within the params - only the element, class type, value and the Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC encoding. So my client is essentially creating the same XML as your .Net friends want.

But on a philosophical note, it is the service that dictates the format of the Request. As lond as there is not MS proprietary plumbing, then why argue.

Subject: Help with parameters in Apache SOAP client and .NET SOAP service



  Hi all,


  I'm pulling my hair out trying to get my Apache SOAP [v2.2] client
working
with a .NET asmx service.


  When I send my SOAP request the server reads the parameters I'm
passing it
as null values and rejects my requests no matter what data I fill these
parameters with.  We're arguing back and forth on whose XML is at fault,
and
I need some opinions on if my client request is at least SOAPvalid or
not.


  Unfortunately the SOAP server isn't in-house, it's another company and
I
don't have control or can even snoop around the box.  After a few days
of
headaches and searching Google I did fix one of the interoperability
problems by creating a new StringDeserializer to get around that pesky
deserializer exception thrown when the .NET service doesn't return
xsi:type
information with the response.


  Here is the XML I'm sending as a request:


--
POST /userservice/userservice.asmx HTTP/1.0
Host: www.candyland.com
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 655
SOAPAction: "http://www.candyland.com/soap_MakeNewUser"




xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">

http://www.candyland.com"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
myUserName

xsi:type="xsd:string">myPassword

xsi:type="xsd:string">[EMAIL PROTECTED]



--


  The argument the .NET programmer makes is that his .NET server expects
just name, but the spec I read on w3.org tells me
there's no problem with including the xsi:type information in my
parameters.


  This shouldn't be this difficult, my code is based on the few examples
I've found on the net on doing this and it seems relatively
straightforward.


  Anyone with ideas or had similar problems with Apache SOAP clients and
.NET services before?


  - John

ms soap --> apache soap

[Bono, Chris]

We have been running an java apache soap client to a java apache soap server
successfully since it was owned by IBM. :-)

Well know we have a client that is a C++ shop and I have to write a C++ soap
client. Well, not write one, but use one. I have chosen the MS Soap Toolkit.


Without getting into the specifics - I know this is not the MS SOAP tookit
list - I would like to know if anyone out there has made this happen.

I am getting really close. However, the low-level ms soap api don't let me
specify a type of an element such as

aUserID

they only allow to specify a name, a namespace uri, an encoding style, and a
prefix.

aUserID

Is there a way to make these two forms say the same thing?

TIA,

Chris Bono

Parsing the S:Body XML within a SOAP request.

[Dahnke, Eric]

Hello when going through ../soap-2_2/samples/messaging/POProcessor

package samples.messaging;
import java.io.*;
import org.apache.soap.*;
import org.apache.soap.rpc.SOAPContext;
import javax.mail.MessagingException;

public class POProcessor {
  public void purchaseOrder (Envelope env, SOAPContext reqCtx,
   SOAPContext resCtx)
throws MessagingException, IOException {
resCtx.setRootPart("OK. Original XML received.","text/xml");
  }

  public void bustedRequest (Envelope env, SOAPContext reqCtx,
   SOAPContext resCtx)
throws Exception {
throw new IllegalArgumentException ("Broken SOAP v1.1 Request.");
  }
}


In the org.apache.soap.messaging.Message class what method would I use to
read/receive the XML contained in S:Body. I've got a SAXParseHandler class
that can read in (parse) an XML input stream from a URL or a local file.

You see what I what to do here. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

RE: WSDL Problem

[Neil Smyth]

I've had the same problem when using the wsdl4j toolkit. If you step through
the Definition returned from the wsdl4j toolkit, you'll find that it doesn't
find the referenced binding node - because it is looking in a different
namespace. I've found this problem with a good subset of the wsdl files from
xmethods.

Given that you are generating the wsdl from another tool in the wstk, I'd
classify it as a bug with the generating tool. I'm also not sure about what
the correct syntax as per the wsdl spec is, anyone have any pointers on
that? Should the binding reference always be namespace qualified or not?

If you can find an easy way around this please let me know! I've resorted to
doing basic xml tree searching for the time being which is far from ideal :)

Regards, 

Neil

Compression

[Robert . Schmitt]

It seems that the problem that string packet time grows exponentially still
exists in the SOAP implementation;
one idea I came up with is to apply a simple window compression - it helps
if your packets are very redundant
anyway. You'll find the code snippet implementing a simple LZ77 derivate
below. Since SOAP uses an XML
framework, you will always have to recode compressed/binary data, so you
end up blowing up your
compressed packet a little :-| Still the result is smaller than the
original by a factor of 20..80%.

Mind you that this does not solve the actual problem, it may only leviate
it - there has been an ongoing discussion about it
on this mailing list. If anyone has come up with a good idea in the
meantime, please post it. The best thing we could think
of was to use either FTP or return a URL that the client can use to access
the result (which is made available by
a servlet that communicates with the SOAP server class implementation) -
should work since the Apache SOAP
implementation needs the servlet runner anyway in order to provide the RPC
access point.

At this point, it is basically up to you:

Re: MS-SOAP with SSL

[Putti Tang.]

Hello,
Now I can solve this problem. You have to install SSL on SERVER and
CLIENT, too. The problem is about hostname. Don't use "localhost" or any
IP-Address when you refer to WSDL url, use the one you have registered to
Verisign.
and don't forget to edit your WSDL file, too.

Suppose my hostname is "p800". When I refer to WSDL url. I use
http://p800/mysoap
DO NOT use http://localhost/mysoap

Good luck, now I can hope everyone can do it, too.
