I have a webservice I am trying to build a client for.
I have the following wsdl:
http://www.cmicdataservices.com/datacenter/service.asmx?wsdl
It requires authentication. Looking at the WSDL description I see no method that takes an authentication object, nor username and passwords as arguments. Using Netbeans I have generated jax-ws sources for the WSDL. I however can not figure out what to do after that.
Using soapui I can connect to the webservice and run all the methods. But once again, I want to build this into a client that can be run without my interaction.
My problem comes in figuring out how to use this generated code, which it appears netbeans.tv had a video(netbeans soapui plugin video 2) which has since been lost. Does anyone know of any tutorials or know of any examples of how I can use this generated code to access the webservice?
so I have a method CheckifAuthorized()
Running in soapui I get the following xml
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:cmic="http://www.cmicdataservices.com/">
<soap:Header>
<cmic:Authentication>
<!--Optional:-->
<cmic:UserName>username</cmic:UserName>
<!--Optional:-->
<cmic:Password>password</cmic:Password>
</cmic:Authentication>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<cmic:CheckIfAuthorized/>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
I can then run that request in soap ui and get back the response that authentication was a success.
With the jax-ws code generated with netbeans and with soapui as well I have the following:
package javaapplication7;
/**
*
* @author grant
*/
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Boolean result = checkIfAuthorized();
System.out.println("The result is: " + result);
}
private static boolean checkIfAuthorized() {
javaapplication7.CMICDatacenterService service = new javaapplication7.CMICDatacenterService();
javaapplication7.CMICDatacenterServiceSoap port = service.getCMICDatacenterServiceSoap();
return port.checkIfAuthorized();
}
}
This will fail with the following error
run:
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Server was unable to process request. ---> Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Java Result: 1
This is the same problem I ran into when trying to use python for the service. I have since chosen to go with Java as I feel I may have quicker turnaround on parsing the xml and creating objects as I already have the entities for this created.
Thank you.

I did not want to answer this because I would still like to figure out what I can do here, but I did just end up writing the request by hand with the following. Now I can just convert this into an xml object and go about my way, but I imagine soapui makes all of this much easier. What I really do not understand is how to use soapui to build this request and incorporate it into my project:
public class Main {
public final static String DEFAULT_SERVER =
"http://www.cmicdataservices.com/datacenter/service.asmx";
public final static String SOAP_ACTION =
"http://www.cmicdataservices.com/CheckIfAuthorized";
public static void main(String[] args) {
String server = DEFAULT_SERVER;
String UserName = "Username";
String Password="Password";
try{
URL url = new URL(server);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8");
connection.setRequestProperty("Host", "www.cmicdataservices.com");
OutputStream out = connection.getOutputStream();
Writer wout = new OutputStreamWriter(out);
// Uncomment the following and comment out the previous two lines to see your xml
//BufferedWriter wout = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("/tmp/testXML.xml"));
//Start writing soap request - Envelope
wout.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\r\n");
wout.write("<soap12:Envelope ");
wout.write("xmlns:xsi=");
wout.write("'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' ");
wout.write("xmlns:xsd=");
wout.write("'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' ");
wout.write("xmlns:soap12=");
wout.write("'http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope'>\r\n");
//Soap request header start
wout.write("<soap12:Header>\r\n");
//Start writing soap request - Authentication
wout.write("<Authentication xmlns=");
wout.write("'http://www.cmicdataservices.com/'>\r\n");
wout.write("<UserName>" + UserName + "</UserName>\r\n");
wout.write("<Password>" + Password + "</Password>\r\n");
// End Authentication
wout.write("</Authentication>\r\n");
//End the header
wout.write("</soap12:Header>\r\n");
//Start writing the body
wout.write("<soap12:Body>");
wout.write("<GetCurrentDataVer1 xmlns=");
wout.write("'http://www.cmicdataservices.com/' />\r\n");
// End the Body
wout.write("</soap12:Body>\r\n");
// End the Envelope
wout.write("</soap12:Envelope>\r\n");
wout.flush();
wout.close();
//BufferedWriter fout = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("/tmp/testXMLResponse.xml"));
InputStream in = connection.getInputStream();
createFile(in, "/tmp/testXMLResponse.xml");
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println(e);
}
}
public static void createFile(InputStream io, String fileName) throws IOException {
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
byte[] buf = new byte[256];
int read = 0;
while ((read = io.read(buf)) != -1){
fout.write(buf, 0, read);
}
}
