Hi, I'm fairly new in JBoss and I was wondering how to properly implement a JAXMServlet.

Basically I needed a servlet which receives SOAP messages which is then passed to some EJBs.

Here's my code, compiled with jaxm-api.jar and jboss-saaj.jar. The servlet just receives a soap message, prints it out, and replies with a dummy soap message:

package com.app;

import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.xml.messaging.JAXMServlet;
import javax.xml.messaging.ReqRespListener;
import javax.xml.soap.*;

public class SOAPServlet extends JAXMServlet implements ReqRespListener
{
public SOAPServlet()
{
}

public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
{
super.init(config);
}

public void destroy() {}

public String getServletInfo()
{
return null;
}

public javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage onMessage(javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage sOAPMessage)
{

System.out.println("Got a SOAP: "+sOAPMessage);

SOAPMessage message = null;

try
{
MessageFactory factory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
message = factory.createMessage();
SOAPPart soapPart = message.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();
SOAPBody body = envelope.getBody();
Name bodyName = envelope.createName("Response");

SOAPBodyElement gltp = body.addBodyElement(bodyName);
Name nof = envelope.createName("blah");

SOAPElement fileNumber = gltp.addChildElement(nof);
fileNumber.addTextNode("123");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e);
}

System.out.println("Returning message: "+message);

return message;
}
}

It compiles fine. But when I deployed it, it fired an error saying it couldn't find javax.xml.messaging.ReqRespListener. I assumed that the current filepath isn't finding the right classes, so what I did is dump the jaxm-api.jar in the jbosshome/lib/endorsed folder. It filed an error saying it couldn't find HttpServlet, so I added servlet-api.jar as well. Now the servlet deploys fine.

But whenever I try to send a SOAP using a SOAPClient, the servlet fires an error saying:

11:38:04,872 ERROR [[soapentrypoint]] Servlet.service() for servlet soapentrypoint threw exception

Here's the SOAPClient code:

package com.app;

import javax.xml.soap.*;

import java.net.URL;

public class SOAPsender
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
SOAPConnectionFactory soapConnectionFactory =
SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection connection = soapConnectionFactory.createConnection();
SOAPFactory soapFactory = SOAPFactory.newInstance();

MessageFactory factory =
MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage message = factory.createMessage();

SOAPHeader header = message.getSOAPHeader();
SOAPBody body = message.getSOAPBody();
header.detachNode();

Name bodyName = soapFactory.createName("asd");
SOAPBodyElement bodyElement = body.addBodyElement(bodyName);

Name name = soapFactory.createName("symbol");
SOAPElement symbol = bodyElement.addChildElement(name);
symbol.addTextNode("SUNW");

URL endpoint = new URL ("http://localhost:8080/SOAPServlet/soap");
SOAPMessage response = connection.call(message, endpoint);

connection.close();

SOAPBody soapBody = response.getSOAPBody();

System.out.println(soapBody);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Please, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? An asap reply is very much appreciated, or maybe just a simple working .war example with all the necessary jars packed in it?

I'm using jboss4.2.0, by the way.

Thank you very much
