Call Webservice in post function

Mike Whitlock

July 7, 2013

Hello all,

I am tyring to call a web service in a post function. I am used SOAPSonar first to test and I can load the wsdl and complete the web service successfully. I copied the xml that SOAPSonar used directly into the code below. I am testing this with Groovy script runner...

import javax.xml.namespace.QName
import javax.xml.ws.Service
import java.net.URL
import groovy.swing.SwingBuilder
import javax.swing.ImageIcon
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import groovy.xml.DOMBuilder
import groovy.xml.dom.DOMCategory
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.InputStreamRequestEntity;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.StringRequestEntity;

PostMethod post = new PostMethod("http://servernameXX/arsys/WSDL/public/serverXX/HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WS?wsdl");

def xml = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:s0="urn:HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WS">

</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>"""

def langs = new XmlParser().parseText(xml);
post.setRequestEntity(new StringRequestEntity(xml, "text/xml", "ISO-8859-1"));
post.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1");
HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();
int result = httpclient.executeMethod(post);
String rep = post.getResponseBodyAsString();

I know it is connecting because if I comment out the last line I get a response of 200. If I include the final line I get this as a response...

Any ideas?????  I am wondering if the code I have is getting to the SOAP operation 'HelpDesk_Submit_Service'.  I am really not too sure though.

Please help.

Thanks,

Once again... once I post I figure it out myself even though I have been working on this throughout the weekend...

post.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "urn:HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WS/HelpDesk_Submit_Service");

IIRC you can just add a new header using httpclient.

Personally I would forget coding it in groovy until you can verify that you can get a sensible response using fiddler. When that's working, you can compare what jira sends by proxying through fiddler.

Update...

I added this line...

post.setURI(new URI("http://servernameXX/arsys/services/ARService?server=XX&webService=HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WS"));

and now I get the following...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
 <soapenv:Body>
  <soapenv:Fault>
   <faultcode xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">ns1:Client.NoSOAPAction</faultcode>
   <faultstring>no SOAPAction header!</faultstring>
   <detail>
    <ns2:hostname xmlns:ns2="http://xml.apache.org/axis/">aix4057.ercot.com</ns2:hostname>
   </detail>
  </soapenv:Fault>
 </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>



This is exactly what I was thinking... I am not pointing my xml to the SOAPAction of  'HelpDesk_Submit_Service'

So does anyone know how to do that????
