I'm in the process of setting up a web service client using Axis2 with XML beans. My code is exiting my calculateTest function without throwing an exception. If you look at my code below, the code exits at the line "AuthHeader authHeader = authHeaderDocument.addNewAuthHeader();"

public class ClientTest { private static final int IDLE_CONNECTION_TIME = 0; private ServiceStub serviceStub; private MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager connectionManager; public ServiceStub getServiceStub() { return serviceStub; } public void setServiceStub(ServiceStub serviceStub) { this.serviceStub = serviceStub; } public static void main(String[] args) { try { System.out.println("STARTING"); ClientTest a = new ClientTest(); a.initServiceClient("https://XXXXXXX.asmx?WSDL"); a.calculateTest(); System.out.println("FINISHED"); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } public void initServiceClient(String targetEndpoint) throws Exception { try { org.apache.axis2.context.ConfigurationContext myConfigContext = org.apache.axis2.context.ConfigurationContextFactory.createDefaultConfigurationContext(); this.connectionManager = new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager(); HttpConnectionManagerParams params = new HttpConnectionManagerParams(); params.setStaleCheckingEnabled(true); params.setDefaultMaxConnectionsPerHost(100); this.connectionManager.setParams(params); HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(this.connectionManager); myConfigContext.setProperty(HTTPConstants.CACHED_HTTP_CLIENT, httpClient); myConfigContext.setProperty(HTTPConstants.REUSE_HTTP_CLIENT, Boolean.TRUE); if(targetEndpoint != null){ serviceStub = new DACALCServiceStub(myConfigContext,targetEndpoint); }else{ serviceStub = new DACALCServiceStub(myConfigContext); } ServiceClient sc = serviceStub._getServiceClient(); Options options = sc.getOptions(); options.setProperty(HTTPConstants.SO_TIMEOUT, 30000); options.setProperty(HTTPConstants.CONNECTION_TIMEOUT, 30000); options.setProperty(HTTPConstants.AUTO_RELEASE_CONNECTION, true); } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } public String calculateTest() throws Exception { System.out.println("Inside calculateTest"); String output = null; try { System.out.println("1."); String authenticationUsername = "XXXX"; String authenticationPassword = "XXXX"; String errorMsg = ""; System.out.println("1a."); AuthHeaderDocument authHeaderDocument = AuthHeaderDocument.Factory.newInstance(); System.out.println("1a1."); AuthHeader authHeader = authHeaderDocument.addNewAuthHeader(); System.out.println("1a2."); authHeader.setUserName(authenticationUsername); System.out.println("1a3."); authHeader.setPassword(authenticationPassword); System.out.println("1a4."); authHeader.setErrorMessage(errorMsg); System.out.println("1b."); } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } finally { serviceStub._getServiceClient().cleanupTransport(); this.connectionManager.closeIdleConnections(IDLE_CONNECTION_TIME); return output; } } }

The output I'm seeing is:

STARTING Inside calculateTest 1. 1a. FINISHED

No exceptions are thrown. Why would the code be silently failing on this line?

So I should be using this marshaller then? I've never used that before. Is that what creates the SOAP request?

To give a bit more information, I generated the java classes using wsdl2java using java 1.6 (this is what our website is using).
Below is a cut down version of the client that i've created:

public class DACLIENT { private static ObjectFactory objectFactory = new ObjectFactory(); /** * @param args the command line arguments */ public static void main(String[] args) { localhost.dapc.Request request = objectFactory.createRequest(); try { /***** Code to set request properties goes here ******/ localhost.dapc.Response response = calculate(request); } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } private static Response calculate(localhost.dapc.Request request) { localhost.dapc.DAService service = new localhost.dapc.DAService(); localhost.dapc.DAServiceSoap port = service.getDAServiceSoap(); AuthHeader authHeader = objectFactory.createAuthHeader(); authHeader.setUserName("USER"); authHeader.setPassword("PASSWORD"); JAXBElement header = objectFactory.createAuthHeader(authHeader); WSBindingProvider wsbp = (WSBindingProvider)port; wsbp.setOutboundHeaders(header); return port.calculateDriveAwayPrice(request); } }

Unfortunately, the WSDL is a 3rd party and I have no control over it. My version (bottom) must match the top, otherwise the request is rejected.
And yes, my <Data> should have <Data xsi:type="PVData">

I have created a JAX-WS client based on a 3rd party WSDL.
The request should look like the following:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <s:Header> <h:AuthHeader xmlns:h="http://localhost/DAPC/" xmlns="http://localhost/DAPC/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UserName>User</UserName> <Password>Password</Password> </h:AuthHeader> </s:Header> <s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <CDAP xmlns="http://localhost/DAPC/"> <request> <Password>?</Password> <UserName>?</UserName> <Data xsi:type="PVData"> <Price>1000</Price> </Data> </request> </CDAP> </s:Body> </s:Envelope>

However, my actual request is looking like this:
<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <S:Header> <AuthHeader xmlns="http://localhost/DAPC/"> <UserName>User</UserName> <Password>Password</Password> </AuthHeader> </S:Header> <S:Body> <CDAP xmlns="http://localhost/DAPC/"> <request> <Password>?</Password> <UserName>?</UserName> <Data> <Price>1000</Price> </Data> </request> </CDAP> </S:Body> </S:Envelope>
As you can see, the AuthHeader is missing some namespaces and the "h:" prefix, and the s:body element is missing all namespaces.
What do I need to do to get my request XML to match what I should be sending?

My JSF pages need to appear as HTML pages. I've figured out that using PrettyFaces is my best option.

I have a JSF 2.0 web app that stores every page in a database table. The table includes the "pretty" URL for the page.
What I would like to do is, if you enter the URL "www.test.com/com/aboutus.html" This should access the actual page of "www.test.com/faces/pages.xhtml?url=%2Fcom%2Faboutus.html"

Basically, any of my pages need to access the pages.xhtml file, passing in the pretty URL and displaying the pretty URL in the browser navigation bar.
I think I should use Pretty Faces to do this, but I'm not sure how to set it up.
Does anyone know?

See my code below. I've set up a test. All I'm trying to do at the moment is make sure I can retrieve data from the database (I haven't included the interfaces). Can you provide any tips?
I'm using spring 3.1.
There is something wrong with the configuration. I'm getting the following error:

I've had a look at this spring JPA tutorial
http://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-jpa/

Why does this tutorial not require an applicationContext.xml file?
The last time I did a spring project (2010), you had to specify all the beans in the applicationContext.xml file. This does not seem to be required anymore by using the @AutoWired annotation?

Tim,
I've started creating the business logic and DAO classes in my application.
I'm trying to set up me applicationContext.xml.
I need to set it up so it uses Glassfish connection pooling and connects to a MSSQL 2008 database using Eclipselink JPA.
I can't find an example anywhere of such a configuration. Do you have any examples?
thanks

Thanks for you help.
I came across the following tutorial which I found gave me a good visual of how everything works.

http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2012/04/jsf-2-primefaces-3-spring-3-hibernate-4.html

Thanks,
I think I'm starting to understand.
I came across this example which uses hibernate.
http://technology-for-human.blogspot.com.au/2011/04/jsf-2-spring-3-jpa-hibernate-3.html

I can't figure out how the EntityManager is set though.

Any links to a tutorial that uses JSF, JPA and Spring would be much approciated. I can't find anything.

I've be asked to create a new website and I have to use JSF (Primefaces) and Eclipselink JPA. I haven't created an application from scratch for a couple of years and I've forgotten the best way to structure the application.
Is the following tutorial a go example of setting everything up?
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/JSF_Tutorial

I can't figure out if I need to use Spring. Personally I can't get my head around Spring and don't see how it can benefit my app. If I am wrong, let me know.

I'm also trying to get my head around bean injection. I don't see the point of it. The current website that I've been maintaining doesn't use it. I've personally used it in the past but can't remember it's purpose.

I've searched for these answers but can't find anything.

Can someone help

I just tried what you said and it made no difference. The datatable is not rerendered properly. At the end of the moveUp method, the order is correct. But it seems like between the end of that method and the re-render, the changes are lost. I added a <h:messages> tag and there is no error.

I am using JSF1.2 and Richfaces 3.3 and have a datatable with a column that contains an up arrow and another column that has a down arrow. These allow you to move the row up and down. However, when I click on them, the moveUp method in the bean is triggered and the order is updated, but I don't see this in my browser. When I trigger it again, I can tell (with printlns) that the order is reset to what was originally retrieved from the database.
Below is an extract of my JSP and bean. Please help
