Dates in Web Services
wconroy Jul 24, 2006 1:32 PMI am having trouble using dates in web services. I have the following
@WebService(name = "EndpointInterface", targetNamespace = "http://test.com/test", serviceName = "TestWebservice") @SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC) @Stateless public class TestWebservice implements TestWebserviceRemote { @WebMethod public void getData(Date theDate) { Logger.getLogger(TestWebservice.class).info("Got Date: " + theDate); } }
It produces this as the wsdl when I deploy it on 4.0.4.GA with JbossWS 1.0.1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <definitions name="TestWebservice" targetNamespace="http://skyroad.com/securitiesservice" xmlns:tns="http://skyroad.com/securitiesservice" xmlns:xsd="http:/ /www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"> <types> </types> <message name="EndpointInterface_getDataResponse"> </message> <message name="EndpointInterface_getData"> <part name="Date_1" type="xsd:dateTime"/> </message> <portType name="EndpointInterface"> <operation name="getData" parameterOrder="Date_1"> <input message="tns:EndpointInterface_getData"/> <output message="tns:EndpointInterface_getDataResponse"/> </operation> </portType> <binding name="EndpointInterfaceBinding" type="tns:EndpointInterface"> <soap:binding style="rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/> <operation name="getData"> <soap:operation soapAction=""/> <input> <soap:body use="literal" namespace="http://skyroad.com/securitiesservice"/> </input> <output> <soap:body use="literal" namespace="http://skyroad.com/securitiesservice"/> </output> </operation> </binding> <service name="TestWebservice"> <port name="EndpointInterfacePort" binding="tns:EndpointInterfaceBinding"> <soap:address location="http://dlnx07.skyroadtech.com:8080/securitiesServiceWS/TestWebservice"/> </port> </service> </definitions>
When I try to consume the service, the server throws the following exception
12:29:47,089 ERROR [SOAPFaultExceptionHelper] SOAP request exception org.jboss.ws.WSException: Java type 'class java.util.Date' is not assignable from: java.util.GregorianCalendar at org.jboss.ws.soap.SOAPContentElement.getObjectValue(SOAPContentElement.java:277) at org.jboss.ws.binding.EndpointInvocation.transformPayloadValue(EndpointInvocation.java:233) at org.jboss.ws.binding.EndpointInvocation.getRequestParamValue(EndpointInvocation.java:103) at org.jboss.ws.binding.EndpointInvocation.getRequestPayload(EndpointInvocation.java:117) at org.jboss.ws.integration.jboss.ServiceEndpointInvokerEJB3.invokeServiceEndpoint(ServiceEndpointInvokerEJB3.java:115) at org.jboss.ws.server.ServiceEndpointInvoker.invoke(ServiceEndpointInvoker.java:115) at org.jboss.ws.server.ServiceEndpoint.handleRequest(ServiceEndpoint.java:219) at org.jboss.ws.server.ServiceEndpointManager.processSOAPRequest(ServiceEndpointManager.java:355) at org.jboss.ws.server.StandardEndpointServlet.doPost(StandardEndpointServlet.java:109) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717) at org.jboss.ws.server.StandardEndpointServlet.service(StandardEndpointServlet.java:75) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:252) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:173) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:202) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:173) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:213) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:178) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:175) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:74) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:126) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:105) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:107) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:148) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:869) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11BaseProtocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processConnection(Http11BaseProtocol.java:664) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.processSocket(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:527) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.MasterSlaveWorkerThread.run(MasterSlaveWorkerThread.java:112) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)
Is there something that I need to do in order for the dates in my request to get parsed correctly? I have looked through the samples, but they are very trivial and dont seem to have dates.
