SAOP Client request generating problem

[dulo]

Hi,

I have o problem with soap client. Requests that soap client create are not complete. This is the part of input wsdl which SOAP Client uses to create request:

<

<xsd:complexType name="getLocationForGroup">

−

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="addresses" type="xsd:anyURI" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

<xsd:element name="requestedAccuracy" type="xsd:int"/>

<xsd:element name="acceptableAccuracy" type="xsd:int"/>

<xsd:element name="maximumAge" type="parlayx_common_xsd:TimeMetric" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>

<xsd:element name="responseTime" type="parlayx_common_xsd:TimeMetric" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>

<xsd:element name="tolerance" type="terminal_location_xsd:DelayTolerance"/>

</xsd:sequence>

but request made by soap client looks like this:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:loc="http://www.csapi.org/schema/parlayx/terminal_location/v2_3/local" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

   <soapenv:Header />

   <soapenv:Body>

      <loc:getLocationForGroup>

         <!--1 or more repetitions: - cloned-->

         <loc:requestedAccuracy />

         <loc:acceptableAccuracy>20</loc:acceptableAccuracy>

         <!--Optional:-->

         <loc:maximumAge>

            <metric />

            <units />

         </loc:maximumAge>

         <!--Optional:-->

         <loc:responseTime>

            <metric />

            <units />

         </loc:responseTime>

         <loc:tolerance>NoDelay</loc:tolerance>

      </loc:getLocationForGroup>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

part of code that sets Map for the request is:

          requestMap.put("getLocationForGroup.addresses", "anything");

          requestMap.put("getLocationForGroup.requestedAccuracy", "20");

          requestMap.put("getLocationForGroup.acceptableAccuracy", "20");

          requestMap.put("getLocationForGroup.tolerance", "NoDelay");

as you can see, problem is, that node addresses is missing in the request. Could you help me with this problem pls ?

As I just pointed out to someone else... better idea would be to avoid that soapUI client and instead use an action pipeline that string a transformer action (to generate the SOAP payload) together with a HttpRouter action (to route the SOAP payload to the endpoint and get back the response).

On the face of it, it may seem like a bit more work, but you have full control and visibility with this option.  My bet is that you'd get this working a lot faster and with a lot less bother.

Hi,

Are you trying to create a soap client using ESB or normal soap client for the Terminal Location ?

A'm trying to create ESB and to use org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.soap.SOAPClient to generate and send request for the Terminal Location

Hi, I have finally found the solution so I'm gonna share it.

The key problem is that WSDL schema defines maxOccurs="unbounded" for element "addresses". So when I want to put it into request map a have to use collections. Here is example:

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

list.add("anything");

requestMap.put("getLocationForGroup.addresses", list);

Enjoy

I just noticed, that soapclient generates request like this

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:loc="http://www.csapi.org/schema/parlayx/terminal_location/v2_3/local" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

   <soapenv:Header />

   <soapenv:Body>

      <loc:getLocationForGroup>

         <!--1 or more repetitions: - cloned-->

          <loc:addresses /><loc:addresses /><loc:addresses />

         <loc:requestedAccuracy />

         <loc:acceptableAccuracy>20</loc:acceptableAccuracy>

         <!--Optional:-->

         <loc:maximumAge>

            <metric />

            <units />

         </loc:maximumAge>

         <!--Optional:-->

         <loc:responseTime>

            <metric />

            <units />

         </loc:responseTime>

         <loc:tolerance>NoDelay</loc:tolerance>

      </loc:getLocationForGroup>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

so it can be seen, that elements named "addresses" are empty inspite of fact I set addresses :

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

list.add("anything1");

list.add("anything2");

list.add("anything3");

requestMap.put("getLocationForGroup.addresses", list);

Could you tell me where is the problem, pls?
