[jboss-user] [JBossWS] - Re: Duplicate SOAP body/envelope tags in SOAP message

I succeeded in calling a web service, from a web service. However, I'd really like someone out there who knows what they are doing to show me how to do this correctly. I am sure there is a better way than what I did. This is how I got it to work: 1. Create web service B as a stateless session bean web service using wstools to create artifacts (ejb 2.1). Deployed web service. 2. Create web service A as a stateless session bean using wscompile to generate web service artifacts. Copied WSDL from web service B and used wscompile to create client artifacts. However, I don't ever use the generated stub/service/serializer classes, because when I do, I get a SOAP message with duplicate body/envelope tags. What I do is create my own SOAP message using a SOAPMessageFactory. Then I added namespacese, attributes and elements to the message so it complies with the WSDL. Next I create a connection and call the web service. When the message returns I parse it, retrieve the return value and pass it back to the client. 3. Create a web client that calls web service A. Web service A calls web service B, which returns a value to A, which returns a value to the client. So, web service A is both a server to the web client and a client to web service B. Web service A recieves the SOAP message from the web client and immediately calls web service B. Here is the code in web service A that calls web service B: SOAPConnectionFactory scf = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance(); SOAPConnection connection = scf.createConnection(); MessageFactory msgFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance(); // Create a message SOAPMessage msg = msgFactory.createMessage(); // Create an envelope in the message SOAPEnvelope envelope = msg.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope(); // Bind ns0 namespace envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("ns0","http://aaa/bbb/1.0"); // Get hold of the the body SOAPBody body = envelope.getBody(); body.addChildElement(envelope.createName("ns0:getGreeting", "", "")) .addAttribute(envelope.createName("ns0"), "http://aaa/bbb/1.0"); URL endpoint = new URL("http://localhost:8082/ws/getGreeting"); msg.saveChanges(); // Make call to web service SOAPMessage soapMessage = connection.call(msg, "http://localhost:8082/ws/getGreeting"); soapMessage.writeTo(System.out); // The return value is in the grandchild element to the body tag. Iterator it = soapMessage.getSOAPBody().getChildElements(); SOAPElement child = it.next(); Iterator it2 = child.getChildElements(); SOAPElement result = it2.next(); responseMessage = result.getValue(); As I said, there has to be an easier way to do this. If someone could show me a simpler way to call a web service from a web service, I'd appreciate it. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4052309#...
