Web service and http

Question

HI Guys,
When I run the sample webservice "basic_javaclass/helloworld": http://localhost:7001/basic_javaclass/HelloWorld?intVal=100&string=sample+string&operation.invoke=sayHello
The page displays:
Request sent to the server
<!--REQUEST.................-->
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<env:Header>
</env:Header>
<env:Body env:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<m:sayHello xmlns:m="http://www.bea.com/servers/wls70/samples/examples/webservices/basic/javaclass">
<intVal xsi:type="xsd:int">100</intVal>
<string xsi:type="xsd:string">sample string</string>
</m:sayHello>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
What does this mean? from the underline <form action ...> and above 'GET' url,
it seems to send a normal http GET request, not this SOAP request, can somebody
explain to me what is actually sent to the server thru HTTP? a regular GET HTTP
request, or the SOAP? if it is the SOAP, how can that be?
thanks

Answer 1

Does this mean the Webservice itself is also acting as a client app to itself?
My understanding is typically it is the 'client app' that invokes the client proxy
method which in turn creates the SOAP message sent to the webservice through HTTP.
If this is the case, how this 'client app' is defined, in webservice.xml? Is this
a default feature comes with Weblogic WebService implementation?
thanks

When you use the test page, browser sends
a GET request to the web service. Which
in turn creates a client proxy and invoke the
specified method on it. Client proxy will then
do a HTTP POST of the soap envelope to
the web service.
