Hello, I ran into the situation to call a Java WebService from within a .vbs file. I created a simple WebService and after searching the net and the forum I ended up with this. My method is being called at least, but my .vbs variable is null afterward. I have no clue what to do next... After first failing, I already installed MS SoapToolkit 2.0 and my .vbs is now: | Option Explicit | | Dim c, wsdl | | wsdl = "http://localhost:8080/SimpleWebServices/SimpleWeb?wsdl" | | set c = CreateObject("MSSOAP.SOAPClient") | c.mssoapinit(wsdl) | | c.isAlive | My WebService: | @Stateless | @WebService | @WebContext(contextRoot="/SimpleWebServices") | @SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC) | public class SimpleWeb implements SimpleWebInterface { | | @Logger Log log; | | @WebMethod | public void isAlive() { | System.out.println("SimpleWeb.isAlive()"); | } | | } | I'm using Java 1.5, JBoss 4.2 GA (with JBosWS1.2.1GA) and JBoss Seam 2.0 Beta1 (well, shouldn't matter in this case imho, because the WebService isn't a Seam component) My standard-jaxws-endpoint-config.xml: | <jaxws-config xmlns="urn:jboss:jaxws-config:2.0" | xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" | xmlns:javaee="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" | xsi:schemaLocation="urn:jboss:jaxws-config:2.0 jaxws-config_2_0.xsd"> | <endpoint-config> | <config-name>Seam WebService Endpoint</config-name> | <pre-handler-chains> | <javaee:handler-chain> | <javaee:protocol-bindings> | ##SOAP11_HTTP | </javaee:protocol-bindings> | <javaee:handler> | <javaee:handler-name> | SOAP Request Handler | </javaee:handler-name> | <javaee:handler-class> | org.jboss.seam.webservice.SOAPRequestHandler | </javaee:handler-class> | </javaee:handler> | </javaee:handler-chain> | </pre-handler-chains> | </endpoint-config> | </jaxws-config> | Finaly here's the generated wsdl: | <definitions name='SimpleWebService' targetNamespace='http://webservice.simple/' xmlns='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/' xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/' xmlns:tns='http://webservice.simple/' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'> | <types></types> | <message name='SimpleWeb_isAliveResponse'></message> | <message name='SimpleWeb_isAlive'></message> | <portType name='SimpleWeb'> | <operation name='isAlive'> | <input message='tns:SimpleWeb_isAlive'></input> | <output message='tns:SimpleWeb_isAliveResponse'></output> | </operation> | </portType> | <binding name='SimpleWebBinding' type='tns:SimpleWeb'> | <soap:binding style='rpc' transport='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http'/> | <operation name='isAlive'> | <soap:operation soapAction=''/> | <input> | <soap:body namespace='http://webservice.simple/' use='literal'/> | </input> | <output> | <soap:body namespace='http://webservice.simple/' use='literal'/> | </output> | </operation> | </binding> | <service name='SimpleWebService'> | <port binding='tns:SimpleWebBinding' name='SimpleWebPort'> | <soap:address location='http://localhost:8080/SimpleWebServices/SimpleWeb'/> | </port> | </service> | </definitions> | Executing my .vbs script gives following output | C:\Data\PrintServerProcessor>cscript PrintServerProcesser.vbs | Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6 | Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001.

Well, I guess, the wsdl or the answer is not parsed correctly because it's empty or something like that, as c is getting null (should not happen ;-). What do I miss/did wrong? I would appriciate any help. Thank you! Greetz, GHad View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4081893#...
