How to make JAX-WS use https for soap:address / schemaLocation - java

I'm using Scala + JAX-WS to build a simple SOAP server, but have run into issues with the auto generated locations in the WSDL. The service is published like this:
val endpoint = Endpoint(new MySoapServer())
endpoint.publish("http://10.2.2.100")
Which creates the following elements in the WSDL
<service name="MyService">
<port name="MyPort" binding="tns:MyPortBinding">
<soap:address location="http://10.2.2.100"/>
</port>
</service>
and
<xsd:schema>
<xsd:import schemaLocation="http://10.2.2.100/?xsd=1"/>
</xsd:schema>
However, the server sits behind a proxy that only accepts https requests, so those urls are useless...
How can I modify both the schemaLocation and soap:address location elements, so that they read https://10.2.2.100?
I've tried using X-Forwarded-Proto, as suggested here, but still no luck...

How do I translate a WSDl generated for Java Webservice into a C# client?

I am in .NET environment and I am supposed to reference and consume a java WebService with a WSDL.
I am not a wsdl master and neither have I done extensive work in WCF but normally WCF has two kind of binding which are BasicHTTP and WSHTTP but it sounds like I am not able to find any details on this looking at the WSDL. instead I do see something like following:
<wsdl:port name="SFAPI12" binding="tns:SFAPISoap12Binding">
<wsdlsoap12:address location="https://api.successfactors.eu:443/sfapi/v1/soap12" />
</wsdl:port>
followed by
<wsdl:binding name="SFAPISoapBinding" type="tns:SFAPI"><wsdlsoap:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
I have no idea how to consume it in my C# application. Any ideas?
Right click the ServiceReference folder in your C# project, click on 'Add new service reference'. Give the java wsdl and enter an alias name for this service. Once this is done, then you can start using this alias for making client calls to the service.
You can use tool svcutil.exe.
Run from command line:
svcutil *.wsdl
It generates ".cs" and ".config" files.
svcutil.exe usually placed in directory:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\
or similar.

.net web service as a client of java web service

I have a .net 4.0 web app which needs to connect to a customer's web service, written in Java (it has cxf in the service endpoint)
Their service endpoint is https, and ultimately I will need to supply an x509 credential, but not yet.
They do not allow discovery, they dont expose a mex endpoint, they have supplied us with a wsdl and xsds, and I've managed to create a client proxy.
I'm struggling to set the right wcf client configuration. What I have so far is this: (names changed for obvious reasons).
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpsBinding>
<binding name="CUSwsBinding" />
</basicHttpsBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://customer.com/cxf/customerMaintenance/"
binding="basicHttpsBinding" bindingConfiguration="CUSwsBinding"
contract="CUSCustomer.Customerxxx" name="CUSCustomerWS" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
When I try and execute, it says the basicHttpBinding extension is not recognised. I see there are some bindings that only are supported in .net 4.5, however my manager has Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, and our web app has to stay on 4.0
Not an expert in WCF, so any help welcome.
As someone suggested, one can create an instance of the proxy class:
var client = new proxy.ClientClass();
At this line it throws a Configuration binding extension 'system.serviceModel/bindings/basicHttpsBinding' could not be found.
The endpointaddress needs to be in config, as its currently pointing at a test environment, will be poiting at production

Building SOAP Envelope from Java using Strings

I am working on understanding how SOAP services work.My client is in Java and the service is using WCF (although in theory this shouldn't matter). If I am given an example of a SOAP envelope and do the following:
-Build a SOAP envelope that exactly follows the example
-Use an HttpPost object to post the data to www.service.com/service.svc
Is this a correct (although improper) way to call the service? Because when I do this, I receive a 400 response, even though my SOAP envelope is the exact same as the example.
It should work. You are probably missing some required headers. I suggest to use a TCP monitor, intercept a working request and analize its content.
I think the reason you are getting an HTTP 400 (Bad Request) is that your service is using BasicHttpBinding which is SOAP 1.1, and you are most likely sending a SOAP 1.2 message (as you indicated in the comments that you are using SOAP 1.2). The message formats are different between the two.
The simplest solution would be to use SOAP 1.1, but if you must (or want) to use SOAP 1.2, the following may help.
In your config file, you haven't defined any endpoints or bindings - which is ok, as WCF will use defaults in 4.0 and later.
However, the default binding for HTTP is BasicHttpBinding. You need to use a binding that supports SOAP 1.2 (or change your message to SOAP 1.1). You could use WSHttpBinding, which does support SOAP 1.2, but you mau have to change the security setting (by default it's Windows).
Another option is to use a custom binding that implements SOAP1.1.
I'll give a couple of examples (I've never written a non-.NET client for a WCF service, so I can't say for certain that it will work but it should at least get you going in the right direction.
WSHttpBinding
Change the default protocol mapping for HTTP requests from BasicHttpBinding to WsHttpBinding by overriding the protocol mapping in your config file:
<protocolMapping>
<addBinding protocol="wsHttpBinding" scheme="http" />
</protocolMapping>
Add a binding section to your config file so you can set the security mode to None. This goes under the <system.serviceModel> section:
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding>
<security mode="None" />
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
Notice that I didn't set a value for the name attribute on the binding. This will set the binding definition as the default, and in conjunction with changing the default protocol for HTTP to wsHttpBinding should enable you to send SOAP 1.2.
SECURITY NOTE* Setting security to none is fine if you're just trying to get a better understanding of SOAP, but I would highly recommend doing it in production.
Custom Binding
I've never used a custom binding, but something like this should work:
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="Custom">
<textMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap12" />
<httTransport />
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
You will need to explicitly set this to your endpoint (using the bindingConfiguration attribute of the endpoint), which means you'll need to create an endpoint definition in your config file.
The custom binding idea is from SOAP 1.2 message format with BasicHttpBinding
Hopefully this will give you some ideas and get you going again.

WCF Authentication Service - How to generate client using Apache Axis?

I have an ASP.NET application hosting a few WCF services, using ASP.NET Membership for security. I've exposed the System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService through an SVC file (AuthenticationService.svc) as shown below:
<%# ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService" %>
My WCF configuration for this service is as follows:
<service name="System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService" behaviorConfiguration="AuthenticationServiceBehaviors">
<endpoint contract="System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService" binding="basicHttpBinding"/>
</service>
...
<behavior name="AuthenticationServiceBehaviors">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug httpHelpPageEnabled="true" includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
...
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding allowCookies="true"></binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
I've enabled the authentication service in my web.config as shown below:
<system.web.extensions>
<scripting>
<webServices>
<authenticationService enabled="true" requireSSL="false"/>
</webServices>
</scripting>
</system.web.extensions>
I created a .NET console application to test the service. Visual Studio generated a client, and the service worked as expected. My problem is that I need to use this service from a Java application, but when I try to generate a client in Eclipse using Apache Axis, I get the following error:
IWAB0399E Error in generating Java from WSDL: java.io.IOException: Emitter failure.
There is an undefined portType (AuthenticationService) in the WSDL document
http://localhost:17637/Services/AuthenticationService.svc?wsdl=wsdl0.
Hint: make sure <binding type=".."> is fully qualified.
I've tracked it down to Apache Axis needing different namespace and name in the ServiceContract and ServiceBehavior, thanks to this post. I've changed other WCF services as that post shows, and they work just fine. The problem is that System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService looks like this (from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.applicationservices.authenticationservice.aspx):
[ServiceBehaviorAttribute(Namespace = "http://asp.net/ApplicationServices/v200", InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single, ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Multiple)]
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsAttribute(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Required)]
[ServiceContractAttribute(Namespace = "http://asp.net/ApplicationServices/v200")]
public class AuthenticationService
Notice the ServiceBehaviorAttribute namespace is the same as the ServiceContractAttribute namespace? I need them to be different so I can get Eclipse (Apache Axis) to generate a client. Any ideas?
I do not think is possible to change name of built-in service. You should be allowed for wrapping built-in service in other service or for writing custom service handle authentication.

WSDL2Java won't create all the stubs

I'm using Apache axis2 and more specifically, the wsdl2java tool to generate the stubs for a web service and create a client, given the wsdl file.
When I try to generate stub classes for a paypal web service (its wsdl file is here) axis won't generate stubs for both the bindings included to the wsdl but just for the second one (PayPalAPIAASoapBinding)
Has anybody worked on this wsdl with apache's wsdl2java tool before?
I've been struggling with this, too.
Short answer:
Append -pn PayPalAPI to your Axis2 command.
Long answer:
Take a look at following lines of the PayPal WSDL:
<wsdl:service name="PayPalAPIInterfaceService">
<wsdl:port name="PayPalAPI" binding="ns:PayPalAPISoapBinding">
<wsdlsoap:address location="https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/2.0/"/>
</wsdl:port>
<wsdl:port name="PayPalAPIAA" binding="ns:PayPalAPIAASoapBinding">
<wsdlsoap:address location="https://api-aa.sandbox.paypal.com/2.0/"/>
</wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>
Obviously, the WSDL specifies 1 service with 2 ports. Our problem is that Axis2 only creates the stub for the second port, "PayPalAPIAA" but not for the port "PayPalAPI".
Now, take a look at the Axis 2 command line option reference (http://ws.apache.org/axis2/tools/1_2/CodegenToolReference.html#cmdref), specifically, at the description of the option -pn:
"Specifies the port name to be code generated. If the port name is not specified, then the first port (of the selected service) will be picked."
Thus, specifying -pn PayPalAPI does the trick.
apon,
I used Eclipse and created a new Web Service Client project and pointed to the URL you mentioned. I think i was able to create both the stubs. Can you please try creating stubs from Eclipse IDE once?
