How do i get soap message

Question

Hi everyone.
I've generated a web service in netbeans 5.5 with SAAJ.
I've run my web service client. The incoming message (service soap response) is
empty.
The problem is, my soap message (payload) is not appearing in the soap response.
I expect to see....
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ns1="http://mywork">
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:getMessageResponse>
<document>transfer<document>
<number>123456<number>
<telephone>555-12345<telephone>
</ns1:getMessageResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
But i receive the "return" element only, without payload.
<ns1:getMessageResponse>
<return/>
</ns1:getMessageResponse>
My service and client method is listed below.
Service....
public SOAPMessage getMessage() {
SOAPMessage message = null;
try {
MessageFactory mf = MessageFactory.newInstance();
message = mf.createMessage();
SOAPPart sp = message.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope env = sp.getEnvelope();
SOAPBody body = env.getBody();
SOAPHeader header = env.getHeader();
header.detachNode();
SOAPFactory sf = SOAPFactory.newInstance();
Name ElName = sf.createName("getMessage", "ns1", "http:mywork");
SOAPBodyElement sbe = body.addBodyElement(ElName);
SOAPElement name = sbe.addChildElement("name");
name.addTextNode("transfer");
SOAPElement document = sbe.addChildElement("document");
document.addTextNode("123456");
SOAPElement telephone = sbe.addChildElement("telephone");
telephone.addTextNode("555-12345");
message.saveChanges();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
return message;
Client Request....
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
try {
SOAPConnectionFactory scf = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection con = scf.createConnection();
MessageFactory mf = MessageFactory.newInstance();
message = mf.createMessage();
SOAPPart sp = message.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope env = sp.getEnvelope();
SOAPBody body = env.getBody();
SOAPHeader header = envelope.getHeader();
header.detachNode();
SOAPFactory sf = SOAPFactory.newInstance();
Name ElName = sf.createName("getMessage", "ns1", "http:mywork");
SOAPBodyElement sbe = body.addBodyElement(ElName);
message.saveChanges();
URL urlep = new URL("http://localhost:8080/jaxws05/jaxws05?WSDL");
SOAPMessage reply = con.call(message, urlep);
con.close();
} catch(Exception ex) {
// TODO handle custom exceptions here
Can anyone please help? , Thanks.

Answer 1

I'd suggest you post this in the workshop newsgroup.
I don't believe Workshop supports SOAP w/attachments in the current
release, but you should ask in the workshop group for suggestions.

I'm trying to create a web service which takes an attachment and in
the BEA site, they have an example called "filetransfer" which does
what I'm looking for.
The example uses a SOAPMessageContext.getMessage() and
SOAPMessage.getAttachments(); however, there doesn't seem to be any
properties or methods which returns any of these object types.
Are handling file attachments beyond the scope of weblogic workshop,
or is there another way around this using workshop?
Thanks.
