Java – code generated by soap UI
I have a web service and I'm trying to build a client
I have the following WSDL:
http://www.cmicdataservices.com/datacenter/service.asmx?wsdl
It requires authentication Looking at the WSDL description, I can't see the method of using authentication object, nor does it use user name and password as parameters Using NetBeans, I have generated Jax WS source code for WSDL However, I can't figure out what to do after that
Using soap UI, I can connect to the web service and run all the methods But again, I want to build it into a client that can run without my interaction
My problem is figuring out how to use this generated code, which looks like NetBeans TV has a video (NetBeans soapUI plug-in Video 2), which was later lost Does anyone know any tutorials or any examples of how to use this generated code to access Web services?
So I have a method checkifauthorized ()
Running in soap UI, 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>
Then, I can run the request in the soap UI and get a successful authentication response
Using the Jax WS code generated by NetBeans and soapUI, 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.

This is the same problem I encountered when trying to use Python for services I have chosen to use Java because I think I can parse XML and create objects faster because I have created this entity
thank you.

I didn't want to answer this question because I still wanted to know what I could do here, but I finally wrote the request by hand Now I can convert it into an XML object and do it my way, but I think soapUI makes it easier What I really don't 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,read);
}
}
Solution
The problem with your code is that the authentication element is missing from the soap header Looking at WSDL, it should always exist:
<wsdl:operation name="CheckIfAuthorized">
<soap:operation soapAction="http://www.cmicdataservices.com/CheckIfAuthorized" style="document"/>
<wsdl:input>
<soap:body use="literal"/>
<soap:header message="tns:CheckIfAuthorizedAuthentication" part="Authentication" use="literal"/>
</wsdl:input>
<wsdl:output>
<soap:body use="literal"/>
</wsdl:output>
</wsdl:operation>
When there is no authentication element in the checkifauthorized request, the server will fail due to an exception due to incorrect XML The following is a sample client in Python to demonstrate the idea of solving the problem. I don't think it's a problem to convert it to Java
from suds.client import Client
client = Client("http://www.cmicdataservices.com/datacenter/service.asmx?wsdl")
auth = client.factory.create('Authentication')
auth.UserName = "username"
auth.Password = "password"
client.set_options(soapheaders=auth)
client.service.CheckIfAuthorized()
