Calling GWT RPC service - gwt

I have been going through the google tutorial ( which I find very good ) at
https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/tutorial/RPC
I have the service up and running on my local server and my JavaScript client can call it fine. OK so far. Now, what I want to do is deploy the service on a remote server JoeSoapHost:8080
How do I now tell my client where to send it's requests? I can't see any server/url being created in my RPC call. It just works by magic but now I want to get under the bonnet and start breaking it.
[Edit}
This is the Interface my client uses to know what service on the Server is to be called. I know that my Web.xml web descriptor must have a url that matches this. It has this because my server is invoked ok. Problem is, if I now decide to deploy my server elsewhere how do I tell my client what server/domain name to use?
#RemoteServiceRelativePath("stockPrices")
public interface StockPriceService extends RemoteService
{
StockPrice[] getPrices(String[] symbols);
}
What I want to achieve first is have a simple GWT client calling into an RPC service. I have this working but only when the server is localhost.
Next step, I deploy my app to the Google App Engine. What must I change now because my RPC service in my JavaScript is not being called when I deploy my app to
http://stockwatcherjf.appspot.com/StockWatcher.html

1) Brian Slesinsky excellent document on RPC - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eG0YocsYYbNAtivkLtcaiEE5IOF5u4LUol8-LL0TIKU/edit#heading=h.amx1ddpv5q4m
2) #RemoteServiceRelativePath("stockPrices") allows GWT code to determine relative to your host/server/domain i.e http//mydomain.com/gwtapp/stockPrices
3) You can search GOOGle IO Sessions from 2009 - 2012 for some more in depth stuff on GWT RPC usage.

#RemoteServiceRelativePath gives the path of the servlet relative to the GWT.getModuleBaseURL() (which is more or less the URL of the *.nocache.js script); it doesn't "just work by magic".
If you deploy your services on a different server than the one serving your client code, then you'll likely hit the Same Origin Policy. CORS can help here, but you'll lose compatibility with IE (up to IE9 included). You'd better stick serving everything from the same origin.

How do I resolve RESTEASY002186 so my Wildfly 26 web application can use SSE over https?

I have a web application running on Wildfly 26 that uses SSE broadcasting and works correctly with http. However, when I switch to using an https endpoint, I get Wildfly log entries of:
WARN [org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy_jaxrs.i18n] (default task-1)
RESTEASY002186: Failed to set servlet request into asynchronous mode,
server sent events may not work
This happens with each registration attempt of the https endpoint but I never see this when registering with the http endpoint.
Testing with curl against the http endpoint results in curl waiting for events to show up (and keeps printing them out as it receives them) until I quit. Using curl to test the https endpoint, I will see the same headers I got from the http endpoint, namely:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: keep-alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/event-stream
But after printing out my registration successful event, curl seems to believe the stream is closed and exits -- giving me my command prompt back.
My #GET MediaType.SERVER_SENT_EVENTS registration endpoint will create an OutboundSseEvent and send it to the SseEventSink to acknowledge successful registration to my SseBroadcaster instance (this is the event curl sees and prints before exiting). I then log a registration successful message before exiting the method. All of this appears to work correctly for both http and https but the stream doesn't stay open once the request endpoint completes because of the failure to run asynchronously as outlined above.
I have not found information on the causes and/or workaround solutions for my RESTEASY002186 problem. I posted a question on this issue last week using the Wildfly Google Group (https://groups.google.com/g/wildfly/c/SO2eHdvMEko) but thought I would try a wider audience since this doesn't seem to be a commonly experienced condition. I don't see any indications during initialization that WildFly will be unable to use asynchronous mode, it just complains when it tries and fails... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit 6/6/2022
The code is running on an isolated network so I can't just cut/paste the code here, but I gutted the resources file to a bare minimum -- just leaving enough for the client to be able to register. The problem remains unchanged. The code is now essentially:
#Path("sse")
public class SseResources {
#GET
#Produces(MediaType.SERVER_SENT_EVENTS)
public void listen(#Context Sse sse, #Context SseEventSink sseEventSink) {
SseRegComplete regComplete = new SseRegComplete("sse-server");
OutboundSseEvent event = sse.newEventBuilder().
name(regComplete.getType().toString()).
id(regComplete.getEventId()).
mediaType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE).
data(SseRegComplete.class, regComplete).
comment("Event Stream Registration Completed Successfully").
build();
sseEventSink.send(event);
}
}
Before the above simplified code, I had declared the resource as #ApplicationScoped, had Sse injected into it, and kept a reference to the SseBroadcaster so I could use it whenever an event would come in. I was catching the events to broadcast by using an #Observes method (which I also got rid of). I was calling register(sseEventSink) on the SseBroadcaster in the listen method so I could later call broadcast(outboundEvent) whenever I had updates to publish. I got rid of all that just to see if I could get the stream to stay open but to no avail. I still get the RESTEASY002186 message and curl still exits after printing out the regComplete event sent to it in the code above.
Edit 6/7/2022
Yesterday I was able to get my code working in a new vanilla Wildfly 26 install using an https endpoint URL by following these configuration instructions. Something I hadn't mentioned in the original post is that I am trying to add SSE functionality to an already existing app. It is several years old and we actually moved to Wildfly 26 about 6 months ago because of the log4j vulnerability in the earlier version of Wildfly we were using. I suspect that the problem is related to either our Wildfly configuration (perhaps because old settings were brought over that shouldn't have been) or some 3rd party dependency that is preventing Wildfly from using asynchronous mode.
We are using Shiro for authentication and authorization against an LDAP server -- perhaps Shiro has some hooks into the Wildfly runtime that are causing issues? After initial login, we use a session cookie in all subsequent calls. That is a difference from my test server but I don't think it is relevant because the call definitely passed authentication before executing the registration code. The only other thing that comes to mind right now is our web app ships with LogBack and tells Wildfly not to use the default logging framework.
I plan to start today by comparing the two standalone.xml files to see if anything jumps out at me as being fundamentally different. Is there anything else I should be checking for differences (I think there is a domain.xml file somewhere...)?
Edit 6/14/2022
This definitely has something to do with Shiro being in the loop. When I edit the web.xml file to have Shiro's filter-mapping url-pattern to not include the SSE endpoint, everything works as expected.

What is the function of http://macbook-pro.local:7001/weblogic/?

I found that weblogic defaults to a context "/weblogic/", there is nothing in this page, what does this do?enter image description here
When you hit /weblogic, you hit the ReadyApp monitoring servlet under /weblogic/ready context.
In short, this servelet exposes the status of your applications deployed in your application server.
Http code 200 means that your server and your app are started and ready to handle incoming requests.
You can read details about the ReadyApp framework in this documentation.

CXF service and getport takes a lot of time

I am developing a SOAP client with CXF.
I have the code generated by wsdl2java.
I have done a JAR executable to test.
When I try to make a request, I do this first:
Service ss = Service.create(wsdlURL, SERVICE_NAME);
MiNTService port = ss.getPort(MiNTServiceSOAP, MiNTService.class);
wsdl is the URL to the web service.
SERVICE_NAME is a QName of the service.
MiNTService is the class generated from wsdl2java code.
MiNTServiceSOAP is a QName of the endpoint
MintSErvice.class is the name of the class generated by wsld2java
The service.create expends 10 minutes
The gerPort() expends 10 minutes too.
And after all that time... the request is done.
I have try put all wsdl locally, but the same result.
What could be happening????.
The system has:
4GB RAM
5GB free space disk.
CPU 2.5 GHz
Ping to the server is normal...
The connection is over https
With Axis2 there is no problem of time request, but we cant use axis2 because has a lot of problems with signed request... and we are trying CXF.
Thanks to all
Solution:
The problem was the way to export a "runnable jar file" from Eclipse.
If you package the libraies into the jar... it becomes slow.
The solution is select the option of "Copy required libraries into a sub-folder next to the generated jar" in the export process.
Tremendo el asunto.....
Bye
I am also having the same problem of direct calling below Service constructor when the provided web service is down. Service.create(wsdlURL, SERVICE_NAME) also internally calls below constructor.
In my case, When the web service is online everything works fine.
What I expect is a quick response from the Service initialization if it is not possible to initialize without hanging long time.
Can we set a timeout to this call?
Are there any specific way of doing this?
Or is this a known problem of CXF?
here is the Service Constructor I am using:
protected Service(java.net.URL wsdlDocumentLocation, QName serviceName) {
delegate = Provider.provider().createServiceDelegate(wsdlDocumentLocation,
serviceName,
this.getClass());
}

WSO2 Carbon 404 Error Redirection for Webapp Deployment?

We are using WSO2 Carbon 4.2.0 through the WSO2 Application Server (AS) package. In replacing an older, highly customized Carbon installation (provided by a company that no longer supports the product, has abandoned it and refuses to work on it, and left us no details on how/what they modified in Carbon), we have deployed a couple web applications in the webapps container as they were deployed before in the older instance. We have changed our WebContextRoot in the carbon.xml from the default "/" to a sub-URL of ex: "/stuff", as is also detailed in the self-answered SO question here. However the answer given there is not detailed in what the OP actually encountered when he modified his WSO2 instance.
In testing the above configuration we noticed that if a user were to go to a non-existent web address on the server, depending on the format of the URL they are either:
redirected to a blank page;
receive a "500 Internal server error" (I suspect this is the embedded Tomcat?);
get sent to the Carbon login page (which we definitely do not want to happen for security reasons); or
get an XML document stating:
<faultString> The service cannot be found for the endpoint reference (EPR) /stuff/services/nonexistantservicename </faultString>
At least in the case of missing content we wish the user to be sent to a standardized 404 error page, or at the least be sent an HTTP 404 error by the server. For services the XML error is palatable, we can deal with that.
The only option for us right now to circumvent this issue is to place a proxy in front of the WSO2 instance, which would be another layer to manage and tune, and possibly degrade performance. Please know that I am not a programmer but just an admin with DevOps experience. I would not know how to handle this with e.g. a Java solution or re-coding parts of WSO2. Customizing the core product would also hamper future upgrades of WSO2, a scenario we are trying to dig ourselves out of now as detailed above. Is there no internal WSO2 mechanism to handle non-existent content? Can we not redirect any errors to a standard canned response page?

How to create HelloWorld Zend Soap Server & Client over SSL using Self Signed Certificate

I am trying to create a basic SOAP Server over SSL. Before making Web Services available on my Production website, I have to test it on Development system with has got Self Signed Certificate (Whose authentication is a problem right now). Following are the problems I am facing in that regard:
When I try to call https://zendsoap.lan/Zend_Soap_server.php?wsdl
its works fine I can view the wsdl.
But when I try https://zendsoap.lan/Zend_Soap_server.php, I get
this:
SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from
'https://zendsoap.lan/Zend_Soap_Server.php?wsdl' : failed to load
external entity "https://zendsoap.lan/Zend_Soap_Server.php?wsdl"
Is that something I should be getting or Some nice looking HTML page
describing the usage of webservice like in NuSoap.
I tried verify_peer=>false as I am running it on dev server so no need to verify my own created certificate, but obviously on production I want the Certificate to be verified.
This thing work fine with NuSoap but most of the stuff in NuSoap is deprecated for our server which is running PHP 5.4.6, So the most reliable solution for me using PHP's SOAP extension. And the reason for me using Zend is we're in process of moving our system from some third party framework to Zend Framework and everyday I get requests from client to add this & that new components, I assumed if I develop every new request from Client using Zend libraries then it will be easy for me in later stages to move to Zend Framework.
openssl is enable and tried with defining local_cert as well, but no Joy.
I hope I made some sense there.
Basically looking for some instruction how to create Self Signed Certificates for this purpose, what should be the code for Server & Client.
