Hallo. I have written a simple WebService called TrivialService on JBoss 4.0.4: package org.jboss.test.ws.samples.rpcstyle; | import java.rmi.Remote; | import java.rmi.RemoteException; | public interface TrivialService extends Remote | { | String request(String string1, String string2) throws RemoteException; | } package org.jboss.test.ws.samples.rpcstyle; | import javax.xml.namespace.QName; | public class TrivialEndpoint implements TrivialService | { | public String request(String string1, String string2) | { | return "ok " + string1 + " " + string2; | } | } Then I have written a handler to have access to the user and password within the header: package org.jboss.test.ws.samples.rpcstyle; | import java.io.File; | import java.io.FileInputStream; | import java.io.IOException; | import java.io.InputStream; | import java.util.Iterator; | import javax.xml.namespace.QName; | import javax.xml.rpc.JAXRPCException; | import javax.xml.rpc.handler.*; | import javax.xml.rpc.handler.soap.SOAPMessageContext; | import javax.xml.soap.*; | public class ServerSideHandler extends GenericHandler | { | protected QName[] headers = new QName[] | { | }; | | public QName[] getHeaders() | { | String NAMESPACE = "http://org.jboss.ws/samples/rpcstyle"; | QName SERVICE_NAME = new QName NAMESPACE,"TrivialService"); | QName[] qNames = {SERVICE_NAME}; | return qNames; | } | | public boolean handleRequest(MessageContext msgContext) | { | System.out.print("handleRequeste"); | String user = (String) msgContext.getProperty("USERNAME_PROPERTY"); | String password = (String) msgContext.getProperty("PASSWORD_PROPERTY"); | System.out.print("user: " + user); | System.out.print("password: " + password); | | return super.handleRequest(msgContext); | } | | public boolean handleResponse(MessageContext msgContext) | { | System.out.print("handleResponse"); | return true; | } | } And I put this to webservices.xml (in port-component tag): <handler> | <handler-name>ServerSideHandler</handler-name> | <handler-class>org.jboss.test.ws.samples.rpcstyle.ServerSideHandler</handler-class> | </handler> This is my service client for invoking the service. package org.jboss.test.ws.samples.client; | import java.io.IOException; | import java.net.URL; | import javax.xml.namespace.QName; | import javax.xml.rpc.Call; | import javax.xml.rpc.ParameterMode; | import javax.xml.rpc.Service; | import javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory; | import javax.xml.rpc.Stub; | import com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.Constants; | | public class Client | { | public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception | { | String urlstr = "http://pc0104-129:8080/TrivialService?wsdl"; | URL url = new URL(urlstr); | | String ns = "http://org.jboss.ws/samples/rpcstyle"; | QName qname = new QName(ns, "TrivialService"); | QName port = new QName(ns, "TrivialServicePort"); | QName operation = new QName(ns, "request"); | | ServiceFactory factory = ServiceFactory.newInstance(); | Service service = factory.createService(url, qname); | Call call = service.createCall(port, operation); | try | { | call.setProperty(Call.USERNAME_PROPERTY,"user"); | call.setProperty(Call.PASSWORD_PROPERTY,"password"); | String result = (String) call.invoke(new Object[] {"String1","String2"}); | System.out.println("output:" + result); | } | catch( IOException ioe ) | { | ioe.printStackTrace(); | System.out.println(ioe.getMessage()); | System.out.println(ioe.getCause().getMessage()); | System.out.println(ioe.getCause().getLocalizedMessage()); | } | } | } After I have invoked the service the handler printed null for the user and password. Could somebody tell me what is wrong? Greetings, patrick View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3957353#...
