Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hello there,

I'm trying to to use jax-ws on the client side to access a webservice with soap::lite on the server side. Manually (also with Pod::WSDL) I created the appropriate WSDL for this service, which is successfully tested on perl.

I took this webservice as sample for test, which is found on http://guide.soaplite.com/#passing%20values. The soap address is at http://services.soaplite.com/temper.cgi. The content of generated WSDL looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- WSDL for http://services.soaplite.com/temper.cgi created by Pod::WSDL version: 0.05 on Wed Aug  8 10:33:43 2007 -->
<wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://services.soaplite.com/Temperatures" 
  xmlns:impl="http://services.soaplite.com/Temperatures"
  xmlns:wsdlsoap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" 
  xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" 
  xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
  xmlns:tns1="http://services.soaplite.com/Temperatures">

	</wsdl:message>

	<wsdl:message name="c2fResponse">

		</wsdl:operation>

	</wsdl:portType>

			</wsdl:input>
			<wsdl:output name="c2fResponse">
				<wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
  namespace="http://services.soaplite.com/Temperatures" use="encoded" />
			</wsdl:output>
		</wsdl:operation>

	</wsdl:binding>

	<wsdl:service name="TemperaturesHandlerService">
		<wsdl:port binding="impl:TemperaturesSoapBinding" name="Temperatures">
			<wsdlsoap:address location="http://services.soaplite.com/temper.cgi" />
		</wsdl:port>
	</wsdl:service>

</wsdl:definitions>

Now I try to use this WSDL on my java application using jax-ws on my netbeans 5.5 (+java 1.5). By importing it, I find several Problems:

1. rpc/encoded wsdls are not supported in JAXWS 2.0, so I changed the style as document/encoded.
2. Invalid wsdl:operation "c2f": its a document-literal operation, message part must refer to a schema element declaration. This time I defined a schema element for input/output data type.

<wsdl:types>
  <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://services.soaplite.com/Temperatures">
    <xsd:element name="testing" type="xsd:float"/>
  </xsd:schema>
</wsdl:types>

<wsdl:message name="c2f*">
		<wsdl:part name="celcius" element="tns1:testing" />
	</wsdl:message>

The WSDL was imported without any error messages. Then I use this codes to implement a client.

try { // Call Web Service Operation
  src.TemperaturesHandlerService service = new  src.TemperaturesHandlerService();
  src.TemperaturesHandler port = service.getTemperatures();
  // TODO initialize WS operation arguments here
  float celcius = Float.parseFloat("37.5");
  // TODO process result here
  float result = port.c2F(celcius);
  System.out.println("Result = "+result);
} catch (Exception ex) {
  ex.printStackTrace();
}

3. Failed to locate method (testing) in class (Temperatures) at /home/soaplite/lib/SOAP/Lite.pm line 2195.. I defined testing not as a method, but as a data type element. How could it be recognized as a method?

Can anyone help me? Thanks
