@webparam

[sudharshan tettu]

Hi
I have one requirement, in my SOAP i have to use fields which has - (hiphens) , which cannot be used in Java objects as field names .
For example <ValidatePinRequest>
<user-pin></user-pin>
<user-id></user-id>
</ValidatePinRequest>

And in my Java Object i have a class ValidatePinRequest ,and it has fields userPin, userId ( i cannot name it user-pin,user-id).
Is there anyway we can use webparam annotation to map it ?

thanks in advance.

Here you go

@WebService
public interface ValidatePinWS {
	@WebMethod
	public boolean ValidatePinRequest(
			@WebParam(name = "user-id") String userId,
			@WebParam(name = "user-pin") String userPin) ;
}

@WebService (endpointInterface = "com.validation.pin.ValidatePinWS")
public class ValidatePinImpl implements ValidatePinWS {
	@Override
	public boolean ValidatePinRequest(String userId, String userPin) {
		if(userId.equals("abhay") && userPin.equals("pin001")) {
			return true;
		}
		return false;
	}
}


public class ValidatePinPublisher {

	public static final String URI = "http://localhost:8085/ValidatePin";
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		//Create instance of service implementation
		ValidatePinImpl impl = new ValidatePinImpl();
		//Make available
		Endpoint endpoint = Endpoint.publish(URI, impl);
		//Test that it is available
		boolean status = endpoint.isPublished();
		System.out.println("Web service status = " + status);
	}
}

Service is published at http://localhost:8085/ValidatePin

Now I used SOAP UI tool to test the code. Configured service in SOAP UI and generated Request XML.

Request XML in SOAP UI

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:pin="http://pin.validation.com/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <pin:ValidatePinRequest>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <user-id>abhay</user-id>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <user-pin>pin001</user-pin>
      </pin:ValidatePinRequest>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Response got in SOAP UI

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <S:Body>
      <ns2:ValidatePinRequestResponse xmlns:ns2="http://pin.validation.com/">
         <return>true</return>
      </ns2:ValidatePinRequestResponse>
   </S:Body>
</S:Envelope>

thanks a lot abhay ,but one query what about if my fields are all in a POJO.
But wheenver i annote it, it says invalid location of webparam

for example

public class User{

@WebParam(
@WebParam(name = "user-id") String userId;

//getter setter

any idea on this?

[Abhay Agarwal]

Correct. @Webparam can not be applied at the location where you are trying to apply it.
For these kind of requirements, you may have to write your own client and server side code using Low level API (for example using Provider, Dispatch and SOAP Message classes)

Hello

Finally found simple solution to your problem. It just striked me few minutes back. Just remember that XML generation is backed by JAXB.
I have used JAXB annotations to solve your problem

Below mentioned is the code.

package com.validation.pin;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

@XmlRootElement(name="UserDetails")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class UserDetails {
	@XmlElement(name="user-id")
	String userId;
	
	@XmlElement(name="user-pin")
	String userPin;
	
	public String getUserId() {
		return userId;
	}
	public void setUserId(String userId) {
		this.userId = userId;
	}
	public String getUserPin() {
		return userPin;
	}
	public void setUserPin(String userPin) {
		this.userPin = userPin;
	}
}


import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;

@WebService
@SOAPBinding(parameterStyle =SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.BARE)
public class NewValidatePinImpl {
	
	@WebMethod
	public boolean ValidatePinRequest(UserDetails userDetails) {
		if(userDetails.getUserId().equals("abhay") && userDetails.getUserPin().equals("pin001")) {
			return true;
		}
		return false;
	}
}


import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;

public class NewValidatePinPublisher {

	public static final String URI = "http://localhost:8085/ValidateUserDetails";
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		//Create instance of service implementation
		NewValidatePinImpl impl = new NewValidatePinImpl();
		//Make available
		Endpoint endpoint = Endpoint.publish(URI, impl);
		//Test that it is available
		boolean status = endpoint.isPublished();
		System.out.println("Web service status = " + status);
	}
}

SOAP Request

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:pin="http://pin.validation.com/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<pin:ValidatePinRequest>
<!--Optional:-->
<user-id>abhay</user-id>
<!--Optional:-->
<user-pin>pin001</user-pin>
</pin:ValidatePinRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

SOAP Response

<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<S:Body>
<ns2:ValidatePinRequestResponse xmlns:ns2="http://pin.validation.com/">true</ns2:ValidatePinRequestResponse>
</S:Body>
</S:Envelope>

Hi abhay I tried your suggestion and am using ant task jws even though no errors while building but when I check the wsdl after generations the fields are still the same

[Abhay Agarwal]

Ok. I ran my code through eclipse. not used Ant task.
Please provide your Ant task code here. I will try to execute on my machine.

~ abhay

[Abhay Agarwal]

also please post WSDL file and XSD file which got generated from Ant task

[sudharshan tettu]

Hi Abhay
Unfortunately I cannot copy the wsdl and saop here.
Any idea if jaxb is compatible with weblogic 9.2 or not? am using weblogic 9.2 and jaxb 2.1...everything executes fine but at the end wsdl has no change its generating exactly as it field names are.

Regards
Sudharsan

[sudharshan tettu]

by the way which version of weblogic are you using?

[Abhay Agarwal]

hi

I did not used Weblogic to run my sample code (shown in previous post).
I use Java 7 integrated JAX-WS and SOAPUI to execute my piece of code.
Your problem seem like to more specific.
I try to find any solution to it. But it is difficult as it seem that reason for error may drill down to some specific settings in weblogic or jaxb .

thanks
