Multiple Web Service Clients in Spring

[Yashwant Palkar]

Currently we are using spring web service client configured in spring configuration.xml.
I have to add another web service client and it needs to be configured in same configuration file.
Both webservices have different credentials for them.
i have configured 2 different webservicetemplate for them and 2 different messageSenders.

<bean id="ReplacementTemplate" 
class="org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate">
<property name="defaultUri" value="${ws.ReplacementServiceEndPoint}" />
<property name="marshaller" ref="ReplacementMarshaller" />
<property name="unmarshaller" ref="ReplacementMarshaller" />
<property name="messageSender" ref="urlMessageSender"/>
</bean>
<bean id="urlMessageSender"  
class="org.springframework.ws.transport.http.CommonsHttpMessageSender">
 <constructor-arg ref="httpClient"></constructor-arg>
    <property name="credentials">
 <bean class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials">
                    <constructor-arg value="${replacement.user}" />
                     <constructor-arg value="${replacement.password}" />
                </bean>
           </property>
     </bean>
<bean id="ReplacementMarshaller" 
class="org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller">
 <property name="contextPath"
value="com.service.proxy.xbean.cms:
com.service.proxy.xbean.sure.customer" />
</bean>
     <bean id="ReplacementService"
class="com.service.proxy.ReplacementProxy">
<constructor-arg ref="ReplacementTemplate"></constructor-arg>
     </bean>
<bean id="httpClientParams" 
class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.params.HttpClientParams">
<property name="authenticationPreemptive" value="true" />
<property name="connectionManagerClass"
  value="org.apache.commons.httpclient.MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager" />
</bean>
     <bean id="httpClient" class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient">
 <constructor-arg ref="httpClientParams" />
     </bean>
<bean id="CommunicationServiceTemplate"
class="org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate">
<property name="defaultUri" value="${ws.CommunicationServiceEndPoint}" />
<property name="marshaller" ref="CommunicationMarshaller" />
<property name="unmarshaller" ref="CommunicationMarshaller" />
<property name="messageSender" ref="CommunicationurlMessageSender"/>
</bean>
     <bean id="CommunicationurlMessageSender"
   class="org.springframework.ws.transport.http.CommonsHttpMessageSender">
 <constructor-arg ref="commhttpClient">
</constructor-arg>
<property name="credentials">
<bean class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials">
     <constructor-arg value="${communication.user}" />
 <constructor-arg value="${communication.password}" />
 </bean>
 </property></bean> <bean id="CommunicationMarshaller" 
class="org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller">
<property name="contextPath"
 value="com.service.proxy.xbean.cms:
com.service.proxy.xbean.sure.communication" />
  </bean>
<bean id="CommunicationService"
class="com.service.proxy.CommunicationProxy">
<constructor-arg ref="CommunicationServiceTemplate"></constructor-arg>
</bean>
<bean id="httpClientParams"
 class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.params.HttpClientParams">
<property name="authenticationPreemptive" value="true" />
<property name="connectionManagerClass"
value="org.apache.commons.httpclient.MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager" />
 </bean>
<bean id="commhttpClient" 
class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient">
<constructor-arg ref="httpClientParams" />

     </bean>

In this credentials of second web service teamplate are overridden by credential of first web service template. Whereas I have created all proprties different from first one.
is there any other way to set credentials of second web service client.

Thanks

try pulling this bean out and giving it an id. Then for the property use the ref tag to refer to it.

<bean class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials">  
     <constructor-arg value="${communication.user}" />  
 <constructor-arg value="${communication.password}" />  
 </bean>  

I believe that Spring names those beans automatically using the class name and if there is more than one bean of the same class it appends a number to them. But its worth a try just to make sure that is not causing your problem.
