As i've mentioned in topic. I have WCF Rest Service, and ASP.NET MVC3 client. In ASP's controller i'm using
IMyService serviceClient = new WebChannelFactory<IMyService>().CreateChannel();
to create client (channel) for my service. Is there any way to attach to this channel and get HttpStatusCode for each response from WebService? Btw should I close channel after each request-response? or it could be opened for next EndUser requests via ASP.NET MVC3 app?
I'm setting HttpStatusCode in webService through
WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.StatusCode = <HttpStatusCode>;
And i'd like to check it in MVC3 app and show proper hint.
EDIT:
Nevermind. I've found answers.

I am trying to create a few restful webservices that will add a bit functionality to the company cisco phones. The basic idea is simple, the users get a small client on which they need to enter login and password. When they have done so, their phone/phones are 'registered' to my restful service and they get added functions on their phone. When they log out, they get unregistered. To provide the extra functions (like adjusted caller information etc etc) I need the Cisco AXL API. This is a SOAP based API. I have generated the java classes using the wsdl already. When I make a testclient using the generated classes, all works fine.
But here comes the problem: When I try to run a soap request while my application is deployed on my Tomcat 7 container, it doesn't work anymore.
The problem seems to be the AXLAPIService, which hangs when executing the following piece of code:
#WebEndpoint(name = "AXLPort")
public AXLPort getAXLPort() {
return super.getPort(new QName("http://www.cisco.com/AXLAPIService/", "AXLPort"), AXLPort.class);
}
In other words, i am not getting a port for the soap request and it makes the tomcat crash i f you wait long enough.
I went googling. Somebody on some forum once had a problem because of an out of date stax version. I adjusted the stax version in my POM and tried again, to no help.
I also read somewhere that the underlaying javax.xml.ws.Service actually has an enumeration of ports, and when you do getPort(), you will get the most appropiate port. I then looked up the default port for SOAP and that would be 80, just like the port used for RESTful services. Could it be that the soap service would be wanting port 80, but that it can't have it because it is already in use?
So, to summarize my question:
can it be that my restful services consume the same port that my soap
request would want to use?
if not, what could be the problem then and how should I fix it?
As additional information, this is how the axl wsdl defines the service:
<service name="AXLAPIService">
<port binding="s0:AXLAPIBinding" name="AXLPort">
<soap:address location="https://CCMSERVERNAME:8443/axl/"/>
</port>
I was thinking about changing the soap port myself. Some googling tells me I should do that in the wsdl but I wouldn't really know how. There is post already here but I fail to see how binding another portname could help me out....
As with so many things involving Cisco Telephony and their Administrative XmL (AXL), I found a workaround instead of an actual answer. Since a problem never really leaves my mind, I spent the rest of yesterday trying to find a solution for getting information out of that AXL thing.
Any actual answers to the above questions are still welcome though.
The workaround I found is this: Since SOAP can be seen as a special http POST request, it should be possible to do a SOAP call using a REST framework such as Jersey. You just need some extra code to make it work. I used the 'SoapProvider' from the link and for those who are also wrestling with this, I'll add my code:
public void doSoapRequest() throws SOAPException, JAXBException{
ClientConfig config = new DefaultClientConfig();
config.getClasses().add(SoapProvider.class);
Client c = Client.create(config);
c.addFilter(new LoggingFilter());
c.addFilter(new HTTPBasicAuthFilter("user", "password"));
MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage message = messageFactory.createMessage();
SOAPPart soapPart = message.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();
SOAPBody body = envelope.getBody();
SOAPElement bodyElement = body.addChildElement(envelope.createName("getCCMVersion", "", "http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/8.5"));
message.saveChanges();
WebResource service = c.resource("https://youraxlmachine:8443/axl/");
// POST the request
ClientResponse cr = service.type(MediaType.TEXT_XML).header("SOAPAction", "\"https://youraxlmachine:8443/axl/getCCMVersion\"").post(ClientResponse.class, message);
message = cr.getEntity(SOAPMessage.class);
JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(GetCCMVersionRes.class);
Unmarshaller um = ctx.createUnmarshaller();
GetCCMVersionRes response = (um.unmarshal(message.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope().getBody().extractContentAsDocument(), GetCCMVersionRes.class)).getValue();
System.out.println("HERE COMES THE VERSION!");
System.out.println(response.getReturn().getComponentVersion().getVersion());
}
I have left as many things unchanged as I could, except for the company specific details. This code works for getting the CCM version.
WARNING: Depending on how you perform the request, you might get a different result for the same request. I'll explain:
I have implemented other AXL methods as well, such as getUser. Before I even coding the Jersey soap service, I tried everything with SOAPUI. So I setup the SOAPUI so I could do RESTful requests to the AXL server. Using my restful setup in SOAPUI, I get the same results as I when would do the standard SOAP calls using both SOAPUI and my first implementation of a soapclient in java.
But when I use the jersey client to do the same getUser request, some important fields are missing from the result. I have no clue what could have caused this. For the request getPhone, I dont even get a valid response. So be warned.
I need to create a REST API Web Service using MVC4 Web Api that will be consumed by Twilio. I need to be able to accept Twilio's HTTP POST for receiving SMS from the user and for responding. So if the user texts a word "Join" or "My Order" then they would call my API using the URL that I have given and I should be sending the Welcome Message for join and the Order List for the text "My Order" and so on. How the heck do I do that? Do I need a single controller or multiple? How would I route this? Please help. Totally lost :-(
Twilio evangelist here.
Twilios HTTP requests are no different than any other HTTP client. So if you want to use Web API as your Twilio SMS URL, then you would just create a Post method and in the method definition, specify the parameters you want to capture from the request.
Twilio sends along a bunch if info with each request, like the to & from phone numbers and the body of the message. You can use model binding to grab this:
public HttpResponseMessage Post(string Body) {
//your code here
// if you want to return TwiML commands, use
// us the TwilioResponse object
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, [your twiml]);
}
Twilio will made its request with an Accept header of text/xml, so WEb API should automatically try to return your TwiML commands as XML.
This blog post has more details on using Web API with Twilio:

Hope that helps.
I am trying to hit the alfresco rest api using my standalone rest code. i get the login ticket when i use the below url -
"http://host:port/alfresco/service/api/login?u=admin&pw=admin"
and i got the ticket but how do i use this ticket for further communication with alfresco without facing this authentication problem.
below is the code i am using for communicating with the alfresco rest client.
HttpGet getReq = new HttpGet(url);
getReq.addHeader("accept", "application/json");
StringEntity input = new StringEntity(args);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(getReq);
Kind Regards
Garvit Jain
Append the alf_ticket argument to your URL and pass in the ticket you retrieved from the /api/login call. See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts#Authenticating
I am trying to consume a restful Web service using camel.
For that I am configuring dynamic endpoint url as the RESTful url is created at the runtime. Everytime I am checking if the particular endpoint url is registered as a route in my camel context using following method of CamelContext class.
Endpoint hasEndpoint(String uri);
In this case, if the endpoint is not registered then I add a route to my camel context using a custom Route Builder.
I am using camel HTTP component for this. This is working fine for me as of now.
However, I believe performance wise this is not good as everytime I have to check if a route is registered with the camel context and if not then register the same before making the webservice call.
Can some body please tell me if there is a better way to consume RESTful Web services in camel?
I also want to know if the RESTful webservice I am consuming uses OAuth 2.0 protocol, do I need to change anything in my code as I am just consuming it?
Regards, Nilotpal
Thanks for your reply.
I am checking if the route is already exists to make sure I don't end up adding duplicate route(s) to the camel context.
Regarding long lived routes and route dynamics, can u please explain a bit regarding this? How do I implement route dynamics?
It would also be helpful if you could point me to some CXF-RS producer example.. I read the documentation of CXFRS but could not understand it clearly.
Thanks
Nilotpal
Exactly why do you need to check if the route is registred or not before making the call? You should perhaps setup a more long lived route and route dynamic towards resfull resources.
As for Rest with camel, I think the HTTP component does a great job, but there are higher level components to use as well, more designed for REST.
CXFRS and Restlet, producer examples for restlet can be found in the Apache Camel source unit tests, such as this RestletProducerGetTest.java.
As for oAuth 2.0, Camel has some oAuth support built-in, especially for google. Look for the gauth component. There is even a tutorial, however it might not be aligned with your case, it still might give some background so you could solve your issues: http://camel.apache.org/tutorial-oauth.html
CamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext();
My Aim
I am trying to intercept the incoming request and based on the ip of the incoming request i want to invoke dynamic endpoint of get offers
context.addRoutes(new RouteBuilder(){
public void configure(){
from("jetty:localhost:9000/offers")
.process(new Processor(){
public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
//getting the request object
HttpServletRequest req = exchange.getIn().getBody(HttpServletRequest.class);
//Extracting information from the request
String requestIP=req.getRemoteAddr();
/**
* After getting the ip address i do necessay processing
* and then add a property to exchange object.
* Destination ip address is the address to which i want to
* send my request
*/
exchange.setProperty("operatorAddress",destinationIpAddress);
}
})
.to("direct:getOffers")
.end();
}
});
Now i will invoke the getOffers endpoint
so first i will register it
context.addRoutes(new RouteBuilder(){
public void configure(){
from("direct:getOffers")
.toD("jetty:${property.operatorAddress}/api/v2.0/offers?
bridgeEndpoint=true")
.end();
}
});
so we can access the operatorAddress property of exchange object as
${property.operatorAddress}
also when we have dynamic routes then we need to call
.toD() and not .to()
I am trying to access a REST web service using HTTP GET request.
For a example following URI provides Rest web service that return all the available parts for the given category.
http://localhost:8080/mycompany/parts/category
I want to authenticate/authorize users who are accessing above REST request in each time and I want to pass User authentication details (User Name and Token) with the HTTP Get Request.
Is there a possibility to cater to the above requirement in REST HTTP GET request (using HTTP header or query parameters)?
or
Is it better to use HTTP POST instead of HTTP GET?
Since you are getting information, you should use "Get". Here's the code that I use (it is Restlet based) for adding the oauth_token to the request...
import org.restlet.data.Reference;
import org.restlet.ext.oauth.OAuthUser;
import org.restlet.representation.Representation;
import org.restlet.resource.ClientResource;
Reference commitsRef = new Reference(Consts.RESOURCE_BASE + "commitments/");
OAuthUser u = (OAuthUser) request.getClientInfo().getUser();
String token = u.getAccessToken();
ref.addQueryParameter("oauth_token", token);
ClientResource commitsResource = new ClientResource(getContext(), commitsRef);
Representation commitsRep = commitsResource.get();
As mentioned, this is Restlet based, but there is probably something similar in the framework you are using. (And if you are not using a framework, Restlet can make this easier).
if you are using restlet than good because restlet have rich api for rest framework
but without this if you want to authenticate than
you can do same thing with GET or POST
but send your credential data trough cookie
and read same cookie using #CookieParam from server side
in this way you can easily authenticate user.
