In my project I need to write a web service which will receive Collection<?> as a parameter.. I am using apache CXF.. After I have written the service method I am unable to test it using SOAP UI (It is not generating any request).. My question is - Is it possible to receive Collection<?> over web service? I need to receive Collection of any object type.. Please help..
You need to work directly with SOAP messages.

Am receiving the message "System.Net.WebException: The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'." when trying to call the web service at "https://graphical.weather.gov/xml/SOAP_server/ndfdXMLserver.php" using BizTalk 2013.
I've imported the wsdl directly from the site, creating the schemas and the bindings to make the call. The Send port is set up as WCF-BasicHttp, Security Mode: Transport, Transport Client Credential Type: None. I'm able to call the service using SOAP-UI from the BizTalk server, providing no form of authentication.
Have read numerous posts and documentation, but nothing I've done to this point has helped. I'm sure I'm missing something; just not sure what that something is!
From the looks of the WSDL: <soap:binding style="rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/> it's an RPC type web service
Like the documentation specifies: 'The WCF adapters do not support consuming Remote Procedure Call (RPC)-style Web services because the message parts in RPC-style Web services are referring to the message types rather than the message elements where WCF adapters are using elements for the message parts. We recommend that you add the RPC-style Web services through Add Web Reference wizard for consuming the Web services in BizTalk projects.'
I imported a service reference to a SOAP web service from the customer and coded my client based on that.
After going to production, they said they will launch a new version of the web service with changes to the output type of one of the requests I make to the service (among new messages that I don't consume).
I know I can update my service reference and update my client code to process the updated wsdl and launch an update to my client at the same time the web service updates.
But, is it possible to instrument the WCF code in some way so that I can handle both versions of the response without having to coordinate the update of my client with the update of the web service?
In most cases, NO. It depends on what has changes in the service interface? In most cases you'll need (and want) to upgrade your client. You can always ask them to support more versions of their interfaces.
I made a web service endpoint and exposed a method now i wanna add more parameter to my method
so each time i change in my method i have to regenerate my client. Is there any way so that i
dont have to generate my client again and again.
No, there is no way. If you change the method then the WSDL file is changed also. Web services communicates through SOAP between client and server. When you deploy your web service application and it has been changed, so how then client supposed to know if there is a new method or a new parameters added if the classes was generated from the old WSDL file. Client will send a SOAP request according to the old WSDL and the server won't be able to understand the SOAP message received from the client if there was any changes made to WSDL part related to the received message.
You could design a better webservice/endpoint that accepts a standalone xml document as argument so that the operation signature stays the same, even when you add more parameters.
More generally, it's bad form for a web service to expose it operations as literal method signatures.
Right now i'm developing a composite application using Open ESB. I got my
application tested through a test case by sending a request SOAP message,
and it works great.
The problem is, i want my composite application to be able to be used like
a webservice so i could call the composite application from Python using SOAPpy,
not by sending an edited SOAP message like in the test case.
How can i achieve that? Should i invoke the BPEL process from a webservice?
I already read "A Gentle Introduction: Exploring OpenESB" and "Building SOA-Based
Composite Applications Using NetBeans IDE 6". Both of the books create an interface
for the composite application, not using the composite application like a webservice.
Thanks in advance,
Well, by definition, each BPEL process is rendered as a Web service. In other words: the only possibility to invoke a BPEL process is to invoke the web service interface provided by the BPEL process (the myRole of the partnerlink that is used for inbound message activties). When your test case also submits a SOAP message to the BPEL process, any other Web service client can do the same.
Sorry for late answer but this can help other users.
Of course they will not use the composite applications as web service simply because it - the composite app - is a client consuming the web service that you have defined using the BPEL ( Business Process Execution LANGUAGE ).
Now the question is, how to get the wsdl for our web service ?
Answer :
go to your composite application
select " wsdl ports " select the wsdl that you have created in "BPEL MODEL" project.
right click => properties => location , then copy location value
replace {httpdefaultport} by 9080
add ?wsdl to the end of the location
I want to send an XML file to a Web Service.
The Web Service is a java application.
I know the endpoint of the Web Service.
Typically I know I have to create the request and send it as an http/https request.
What I want to know is what would I have to make to send the request - as in what development tool could I use e.g. Visual Web Developer (preffered as I am familiar with this) or Visual Studio? And what sends the request - e.g. another Web Service, a Website etc?
Where do I even begin with this?
Any comments are much appreciated.
Where do I even begin with this?
One purpose of a Webservice is loose coupling. So it depends on what you want to do. You can write a simple program in what ever language which constructs a request and sends it. You can write a Webservice on its own which uses the other Webservice to handle it's own requests.
You can handle this in a very simple or complex way. You only need to be able to generate a request (per xml) and send it.
