JAX-WS Web Service with XFire Client
I wrote a simple web service and client using XFire. However the server now needs to be JAX-WS. I wrote a simple service using NetBeans but I can't seem to get it to work with XFire. JAX-WS doesn't seem to like the SOAP XFire is sending it and the parameters passed into the web method are nulls instead of the intended values.
Here is my web service:
package org.me.hi;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebResult;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Style;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Use;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle;
@WebService(name="HelloWS", targetNamespace="http://hi.me.org")
@SOAPBinding(style=Style.DOCUMENT, use=Use.LITERAL, parameterStyle=ParameterStyle.WRAPPED)
publicclass HelloWS{
@WebMethod(operationName="add", action="")
@WebResult(name="return", targetNamespace="http://hi.me.org")
public Integer add(Integer a, Integer b){
if (a ==null)
{
System.out.println("a is null");
returnnull;
}
if (b ==null)
{
System.out.println("b is null");
returnnull;
}
System.out.println("a: " + a +" b: " + b);
return a + b;
}
}
Here is the WSDL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<definitions xmlns:tns="http://hi.me.org" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" targetNamespace="http://hi.me.org" name="HelloWSService">
<types>
<xsd:schema>
<xsd:import namespace="http://hi.me.org" schemaLocation="http://localhost:8084/HelloWS/HelloWS?xsd=1"/>
</xsd:schema>
</types>
<message name="add">

</message>
<message name="addResponse">

</message>

<operation name="add">

<output message="tns:addResponse"/>
</operation>
</portType>
<binding type="tns:HelloWS" name="HelloWSPortBinding">
<soap:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
<operation name="add">
<soap:operation soapAction=""/>
<input>
<soap:body use="literal"/>
</input>
<output>
<soap:body use="literal"/>
</output>
</operation>
</binding>
<service name="HelloWSService">
<port binding="tns:HelloWSPortBinding" name="HelloWSPort">
<soap:address location="http://localhost:8084/HelloWS/HelloWS"/>
</port>
</service>
</definitions>
Here is my quick and dirty XFire client:
package org.me.hi;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import org.codehaus.xfire.client.Client;
publicclass HelloTest{
publicstaticvoid main(String[] args){
Client client;
try{
client =new Client(new URL("http://localhost:8085/HelloWS/HelloWS?wsdl"));
Object[] results = client.invoke("add",new Object[]{1, 2});
if (results.length != 0){
System.out.println("result: " + (Integer)results[0]);
}else{
System.out.println("null return");
}
}catch (MalformedURLException e){
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}catch (Exception e){
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Here is the SOAP I intercepted between the XFire client and the JAX-WS service:
Calling the web method:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soap:Body>
<ns1:add xmlns:ns1="http://hi.me.org">
<ns1:arg0>1</ns1:arg0>
<ns1:arg1>2</ns1:arg1>
</ns1:add>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Response:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ns1="http://hi.me.org">
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:addResponse></ns1:addResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Console at the server side:
a isnull
Console at the client side:
nullreturn
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I wrote a quick JAX-WS client using NetBeans and it works. We would like to keep using XFire if possible. Here is the SOAP between the JAX-WS client and the JAX-WS web service.
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ns1="http://hi.me.org/">
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:add>
<arg0>1</arg0>
<arg1>2</arg1>
</ns1:add>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ns1="http://hi.me.org/">
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:addResponse>
<return>3</return>
</ns1:addResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
