Trying to invoke swithyard webservice from external client.Null java object is returned from the webservice port type.

[pavanisuggula]

From two days i have been trying to invoke a swithyard webservice and getting a null onject as a response in external application. To make it simple i created a swithyard wsdl using a simple class

@Service(Hello.class)
public class HelloBean implements Hello {

@Override
public Response sayHello(Request req) {
  System.out.println("in say hello");
  Response res = new Response();
  System.out.println(req);
  System.out.println("after say hello");
  res.setMessage("hellow" +req.getName());
  return res;
}

and trying to invoke it from a external java client.

my java client code looks like this

System.out.println("***********************");
         System.out.println("Create Web Service Client...");
         Hello service1 = new Hello();
         System.out.println("Create Web Service...");
         HelloPortType port1 = service1.getHelloPort();

         ((BindingProvider)port1).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "http://localhost:8080/Hello/Hello"); 

         System.out.println("Call Web Service Operation...");
         Request request = new Request();
         request.setName("Kali");
         System.out.println("name is set");
         System.out.println("Server said: " + port1.sayHello(request));

but i am getting null at port1.sayHello(request)) instead of response .

any idea on this please respond.

Do you use any transformers? What do you see if you enable a message tracing? Is the message content null on OUT phase? Showing of your switchyard.xml might help to find where is the problem.

Hi,

It seems that your problem is with the stub created. Probably the address is not correct.

I would recommend you to:

- Verify the address where the WS is deployed. You can see it in the log files.

- Use Switchyard capabilities to invoke services with JUnit. You can see some examples in the quickstarts, or here: http://unpoucode.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/junit-in-switchyard.html

- use soapui or any other client that avoid you the creation of the stub.

Hope it helps.

Keep in mind I'm not switchyard developer, so I might be wrong. Don't shoot me if I am, just trying to help.
