forward SOAP request
Hi!
I need to forward a SOAP request from a a servlet to a web service, I do it using response.sendRedirect but I notice that the header information is being moidfied thus preventing the service from answering properly, why is that? How should I do it?
Thanks,
A.
Servlet request
HEADER NAME user-agent
HEADER VALUE BEA WLW 8.1
HEADER NAME content-type
HEADER VALUE text/xml; charset=UTF-8
HEADER NAME soapaction
HEADER VALUE ""
HEADER NAME accept
HEADER VALUE application/soap+xml, text/xml, application/xml, */*
HEADER NAME host
HEADER VALUE localhost:8080
HEADER NAME connection
HEADER VALUE Keep-Alive
HEADER NAME content-length
HEADER VALUE 494
QUERY STRING null
CONTENT TYPE text/xml; charset=UTF-8
after forwarding to another servlet or web service
EADER NAME user-agent
HEADER VALUE Java1.4.2_05
HEADER NAME host
HEADER VALUE localhost:8080
HEADER NAME accept
HEADER VALUE text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2
HEADER NAME connection
HEADER VALUE Keep-Alive
QUERY STRING null
CONTENT TYPE null

You are right, you are not going to forward to a different machine or a different context even, because it is not possible, and a redirect also does not work because this creates a new request.
So, two options that I see:
1. can't you call the webservice from your servlet using jax-ws and let the servlet generate a proper response?
2. why do you need a servlet to forward the request to a webservice? Can't the resource that is calling the servlet call the webservice directly?

hi again,
yes, I could let the servlet call the web service but then I need to parse the request in order to get the SOAP message and then build th new request, then I need to get the reply and transform it and return it to the caller... seems a lot of work.
What I am trying to do is a sort of primitive ESB, all calls to services have to go via the servlet, that will be logging information like caller, method, parameters etc and then forward the request to the right service.
Maybe ther is a better way but I can't think of one...
Thanks,
A.
