jBPM unmarshallingexception (Web Service Task)

[biswajit.sarkar]

I am new to jBPM. I am using jBPM6.

I trying to invoke a web service from jBPM process using Web Service Task.

My web service accept a object(Person) as input and return also a object(Person) as output.

from my jBPM process I am able to invoke the process and pass the input object(Person). But while try to get the output object I am getting "unmarshalexception: unexpected element".

following is my process ...

Please help me. I am not getting the output.

[biswajit.sarkar]

I am getting following exception ...

Caused by: javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: unexpected element (uri:"http://test.com", local:"personInfoReturn"). Expected elements are <{}personInfoReturn>

[rafachies]

It seems that the namespace that your webservice server uses for the result Object is not the same as your "client" stub/object for this result object.

I need to see your LookUpPersonService and Person classes to check this.

It's weird. I can't see where is configured in the bpmn2 the URL of the webservice. Do you really have used the Webservice task provided by jbpm6? If not, please use it! It's a workitem that comes out f the box, you just need to pass some parameters like de WSDL URL. What is the exactly version of jBPM you are using?!

HI Biswajit,

I think the problem is happening because there are some concepts of workitemhandler that you are missing in this example.

The tasks with a custom behavior, like a REST/SOA call, has to be based in a custom work item handler. In jBPM 6 there is already an implementation for that: org.jbpm.process.workitem.webservice.WebServiceWorkItemHandler. If you were using the business-central to build the process definition, you will see a task type that is the Webservice call in the palette. However, as you are using a embedded engine, and probably drawing the flow in your IDE (Eclipse or JBDS), you need to do the clue to use this WebServiceWorkItemHandler in your flow.

As soon as I get a free time here, I'll build a basic example for that. Until there, if you want, you can try by yourself using some steps exposed in the documentation [1].

[biswajit.sarkar]

thanks rafachies for your reply...

As I am using embedded engine I try following code to register workitemhandler

  RuntimeManager manager = createRuntimeManager("complex.bpmn");

  RuntimeEngine engine = getRuntimeEngine(null);

  KieSession ksession = engine.getKieSession();

  ksession.getWorkItemManager().registerWorkItemHandler("Service Task", new WebServiceWorkItemHandler(ksession));

But still I am getting same exception.

Please share a basic example to register the workitemhandler for web service task.

thanks in advance

[rafachies]

I believe the problem is that maybe you have used some examples that is from jbpm 5, and maybe mixed some strategies. I've just created a simple example using jbpm 6 that is on my github [1].

My test was based in a JBoss Developer Studio  7.1, but sure that this also works in Eclipse with JBoss Tools.

The key point here is that you are not going to use any out of the box tasks provided by jBPM, you are going to customize your own Custom Task (your WSTask). This is done in my example through the Webservice.wid file, in syr/main/resources/META-INF. The BPMN2 Modeler of JBDS load this .wid file, and so provides this custom Task in the modeler palette, below  "Custom Taks".

Now, you have just to register the work item handler responsible for handling this custom WSTask. As I've already mentioned, there is an implementation out of the box, the WebServiceWorkItemHandler. By default, this handler expects some inputs like URL, Service, namespace, etc. This is the reason in my .wid file I  declared those parameters.

Just as an example, I've used a test webservice provided online, but sure you can use your own WSDL if you want.

Hi Rafael,

Please suggest me what I need to do if the Parameter is Pojo , ? I know I can update the xxx.wid  to ObjectDataType instead of StringDataType  but when I go and try to assign and save the process it give ms invalid mapping

any suggestion to resolve that issue ?

I notice that you passed two numbers i.e. array of integer and mapped it to the Parameter and it took it successfully why ?

If I map Data Input Mapping  =>  Parameter  => OasisNotificationCtlDto

Please suggest me what needs to be done. service is called successfully but since the pojo is not having any values webservice throws null pointer exception.

Thanks

Hi Sanjay Gautam,

Sorry the delay, but I have been busy at work.

It should be just fine, creating the POJO class that represents the complex type in WSDL, and so use it in the Parameter in the WSTask. The POJO can be created through any wsdl2java tool.

But I have to say that I tested this here, with a example of service that expect a POJO as the request [1], and some issues ere raised. I'm gonna investigate it.

Thanks for replying @Rafael Chies  I can totally understand the busy ness. I believe the kie is correctly validating it though but the examples and mapping/assignment dialog kind of confused me, I tried several option and I was able to find out how to make it work though.  I kept the process variable in the left (From ) and Parameter(Right) actually in the async examples it was reversed and hence I thought as that is the provided by Jboss might be the consistent way of assigning and mapping these parameters. and hence I didn't wanted to try combinations. but later on I tried and it worked at least saved the parameter mapping. Secondly my assumption was that CXF apis which are based on dynamic client I thought I will pass the DTO inside the WebService Handler and it will work directly. but that was a wrong assumption some how. to me to conlude looks like that for each webservice call I have to create mapping webservice call in order to make things work. we cannot use the WS service provided out of the box for all our requirements even though it uses the Dynamic client which was my ultimate goal.  but i had some dead lines too , i will experiment with those APIs little latter though but so far i was able to resolve the issue. but keep me posted with the details.

Other Thread with Details

To me looks like out of the box webservice work item handler is just good for the array ob string or integers as method arguments for the webmethod if I have pojo it will not work and I might have to resort to other ways of creating the clients.

Thanks
