    Configure proxy auth to invoke an external web service from

    bains

      Hi

      I need to invoke a web service on the internet from behind the firewall. I had a look at the built-in configurators and tried HttpProtocol but that didn't work probably since it does not support the setting of credentials on HttpClient. I kept getting the following error:

      Caused by: java.io.IOException: Failed to import WSDL 'http://xml.redcoal.com/soapserver.dll/wsdl/ISoapServer'.

      I tried writing my own Configurator based on HttpProtocol and modified the configure method so as to set the ProxyCredentials on HttpClient. Abstract below:

      public class HTTPProxyAuth extends Configurator {
      .
      .
      .
      public void configure(HttpClient httpClient, Properties properties) throws ConfigurationException {
      .
      .
      .
      //set proxy Credentials
       final String proxyUsername = (String) properties.get("http.proxyUsername");
       final String proxyPassword = (String) properties.get("http.proxyPassword");
      
       UsernamePasswordCredentials upc = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(proxyUsername, proxyPassword );
       httpClient.getState().setProxyCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, upc);
      .
      .
      .
      
      }
      .
      .
      .
      }


      The action that invokes the web service has been configured as follows:

      <action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.soap.SOAPClient" name="soapui-client-action">
       <property name="wsdl" value="http://xml.redcoal.com/soapserver.dll/wsdl/ISoapServer">
       <http-client-property name="file" value="/META-INF/redcoal-http-8080.properties" />
       </property>
       <property name="SOAPAction" value="SendTextSMS"/>
       <property name="responseAsOgnlMap" value="true" />
       </action>


      But now every time I run my client I get the following exception:

      Caused by: java.io.IOException: Failed to import WSDL 'http://xml.redcoal.com/soapserver.dll/wsdl/ISoapServer'.

      Does JBoss Esb support custom configurators? Or is there any other way I can specify the proxy details for invoking an external web service?

      Thanks Benu.

          bains

          Also as I noticed JBoss ESB's SoapClient download's wsdl at runtime. I was wondering if we could include the wsdl in the project build itself so that it doesn't have to download it every time. Also if the wsdl changes, it would break the project build.

          Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

            Hi

            Does JBoss Esb support custom configurators?

            Just wanted to verify that you are following the steps defined on the this wiki page:
            http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-9969

            Can you post the contents of redcoal-http-8080.properties?
            Also which version are you using?

            The following works for me (modifying the https_2way_ssl quickstart):
            Configurator:
            package org.jboss.soa.esb.samples.https.server;
            
            import org.jboss.soa.esb.http.Configurator;
            import java.util.Properties;
            import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
            import org.jboss.soa.esb.ConfigurationException;
            
            public class CustomConfigurator extends Configurator
            {
             public void configure(HttpClient httpClient, Properties properties) throws ConfigurationException
             {
             System.out.println("From Custom configure method....");
             }
            }


            Added the configurator to HttpRouter-localhost-https-9433.properties
            # Configurators
            configurators=HttpProtocol,org.jboss.soa.esb.samples.https.server.CustomConfigurator


            If you can modify the https_2way_ssl quickstart to display this error I'd be happy to take a look.

            regards,

            /Daniel

              Check the HttpClientFactory docs, specifically the section on implementing a custom Configurator.

                bains

                Hi,

                I have been able to use my custom configurator after deleting the duplicate jar files (jbossesb-rosetta.jar and commons-httpclient-3.0.1.jar) from soapui-client.sar directory under my Jboss's deploy directory. These jar files are present in jbossesb.sar\lib and soap.esb folders respectively. As I mentioned earlier, I used to get the ClassCastException only when I would run my client (SendJMSMessage). I didn't get any exception while deploying the esb archive, though it was same piece of code (HttpClientFcatory.createHttpClient) run at both times. SoapUIClientService was using different set of classes then what were used at the time of deployment. Should there be any such duplicate jar files in any of the deployed esb folders?

                Now I have a different exception. The proxy server requires NTLM Auth. Can I use AuthNTLM as a configurator? I tried it but got the following exception:

                   </urn:SendTextSMS>
                   </s oa


                  I guess this is the reason the response contains Unknown SOAPAction "SendTextSMS" fault message. Any ideas why this would happen???

                    So what happens when you take the ESB out of the equation? Reduce the number of moving parts by writing a simple test that only uses the HttpClientFactory, or even just create a HttpClient manually and manually configure it. You need to get this part working first, outside the ESB.

                      Hi,

                      I have tried using a generic soap client - SoapUI to invoke the web service after configuring the proxy settings, and that works fine.

                      Thanks Benu.
