I am working on an bottom up web service for axis2 deployed on tomcat.
The processing is all working, but for tracking purposes I would like to include some meta data using the Soap Header. Do you know how to make axis2 include the header received into the response? E.g. I would like to pass an id with the header and receive it with the response.
The way to handle these scenarios in Axis2 is to use a handler. You can engage your handler to the out flow and do the header adding part is there. This article[1] describes about the axis2 architecture and how to add new handlers using modules.

Using Apache JMeter (5.0 r184095), and the template "Building a SOAP WebService Test Plan", how do I test http://www.dneonline.com/calculator.asmx?
Can someone show me exactly what to write in each field in order to get a working example?
Solved it....
Used Postman to make a succesful call to the webservice, then looking in Fiddler for the headers. Copied all headers into HTTP Header Manager in Jmeter.
Then got decoding error sent back from webservice. Changed Body Data in jmeter to not contain special characters
I'm piloting use of Cucumber for functional/integration testing within my development organization and have been using Citrus with the standard glue it provides for API testing. The hurdle I've encountered is how to dynamically change the REST URL given variables for a scenario. The capability seems to exist in the Java DSL but is not exposed in the Cucumber steps. I can configure the citrus-http:client with placeholders for system properties but these obviously need to be resolved when the application context is loaded by Spring. What I'd like to be able to do in my Background message definition is something like:
Given message todoListRequest
And <todoListRequest> header Content-Type is "application/json"
And <todoListRequest> header Accept is "application/json"
And <todoListRequest> uri is "/todo/${item-number}"
and then in a Scenario:
Scenario: Gets expected item for specified item number
Given variables
| item-number | 3 |
When <todoListClient> sends message <todoListRequest>
Then <todoListClient> should receive message <todoListResponse>
The service hostname and port could still be configured in the application context and the constructed URI appended to that value to create the target of the method (GET in this case, though I didn't specify and maybe that is something else that needs to be added?). Does that seem reasonable? Obviously, I could write my own glue for this but I wanted to see if there was an out of the box provided capability for what seems like a pretty obvious REST scenario before going that route. I understand the Cucumber integration is fairly recent (as of 2.6?) so it might still be maturing. This is an area where I would be interested in helping if that is welcome...
Thanks
You can use the Citrus internal message headers here:
And <todoListRequest> header citrus_http_method is "POST"
And <todoListRequest> header citrus_http_request_uri is "/todo/${item-number}"
The Citrus http client will read these special headers and remove those automatically before message is sent.
Edit: Since Citrus 2.7.1 there is a default REST Cucumber step API that provides brilliant access to sending and receiving messages over Http. So you can write
Given Content-Type: application/json
And Accept: application/json
When send POST /todo/${item-number}
Then receive status 200 OK

I have a WSDL that contains a different response then the actual responds with. I want to update the WSDL with the format of the API response but am having trouble. Is there a tool to generate a WSDL response from SOAP XML?
I should mention that they gave me the WSDL as a file, no public WSDL is visible.
The response contains this unknown anonymous xml element, s-gensym3. It should be userid.
If it's a .NET web service you can browse to [serviceurl]?WSDL to get the WSDL.
There's surely service endpoint you communicate with. You shall be able to invoke this endpoint in the browser and add to the end:
?wsdl
i.e. http://service:8123/operationName?wsdl
This will print you entire WSDL. Just make sure you have the same and you're done.
I'm using GWT to develop a web app. I'm currently using AJAX calls to retrieve values from the server. I have following queries regarding to AJAX calls:
Assume: I have an app, name of which is: "Application" and the entry point class is: "entry.java"
I know: the application could be invoked as: http://localhost:8080/Application/entry.html
1. I would like to know what what is the output URL given by gwt.getmodulebaseURL()?
Assume: In the same application I have a service called "ServerValuesService" and its corresponding Async. I have corresponding serviceImpl, which has a method called List < String >search(String) at the server side.
I could retrieve the values from the server as well. However,
2. I would like to know what would be the direct URL to access this service? For Instance, I need to obtain the list of values, by just giving a URL (passing value for the String). i.e. I need to access the method search(String) and retrieve the list just by typing a url such as:
http://localhost:8080/Application/entry/serverValuesService?string="hello"
I'm sure the above URL is wrong. I need to know exact conversion between URL and the corresponding service. Is this possible at all?
Thanks in advance!
1) In your case it will give you http://localhost:8080/Application . Application is your modulename.
2) These services are actually HttpServlets and their URL's are defined in the web.xml file. But Google uses POST method to send your variables and takes care of serialization for you, what you are trying to do is send it via GET method which is as far as I know not implemented by Google RemoteServiceServlet.So I would say no its not possible unless you extend these services to work with GET methods yourself but I don't know if that is possible.
Assume: I have an app, name of which is: "Application" and the entry point class is: "entry.java"
I know: the application could be invoked as: http://localhost:8080/Application/entry.html
The url http://localhost:8080/Application/entry.html is called host page url. In this html page you load your GWT module using a script tag:
<!-- This script tag is what actually loads the GWT module. The -->
<!-- 'nocache.js' file (also called a "selection script") is -->
<!-- produced by the GWT compiler in the module output directory -->
<!-- or generated automatically in hosted mode. -->
<script language="javascript" src="calendar/calendar.nocache.js"></script>
So if you put above example in your entry.html, the module will be loaded from http://localhost:8080/Application/calendar/calendar.nocache.js making http://localhost:8080/Application/calendar/ your module base url.
I would like to know what would be the direct URL to access this
service? For Instance, I need to obtain the list of values, by just
giving a URL (passing value for the String). i.e. I need to access the
method search(String) and retrieve the list just by typing a url
GWT RPC use a custom serialization format to encode requests to the RPC Service on server. The RPC service is implemented as a subclass of RemoteServiceServlet on the server. The RemoteServiceServlet handles the http POST requests, de-serializing the request from client and invvoking appropriate service method of sub-class.
So for directly accessing the service you'll need:
1. The service URL
2. Request payload encoded in GWT's custom serialization format
3. Ability to HTTP POST the payload to the Service URL
1 and 3 are easy to acquire. You already know the URL at which your service is mapped in web.xml. And you can do post from any http client or browser plugins like this. The hard-part would be to generate request payload in GWT's custom serialization format. For simple cases, you can generate a request from your application and capture the raw payload from Firebug, Fiddler or similar tool and simply replay it using your http client.
I have a client that wants to send a large number of SOAP Header fields to my web service. The only thing I am expected to do with these values is reflect them back.
What is the proper way to handle this? They would like me to define each of them in the WSDL, but they are quite specific and will have no meaning to any other clients.
I have some code that simply intercepts the request and copies the headers back onto the response, but I don't know how to handle this in the WSDL. Is it legitimate to simply leave them out yet? Or a generic way to say "send me anything and I'll send it back"?
At least in WSDL 1.1, it isn't required to list all the headers in the WSDL file:
It is not necessary to exhaustively list all headers that appear in the SOAP Envelope using soap:header. For example, extensions (see section 2.1.3) to WSDL may imply specific headers should be added to the actual payload and it is not required to list those headers here.
I can't find the corresponding section in the WSDL 2.0 spec, but I don't think this would have changed.
