Soap Webservice Client for JAVAFX Application

I am trying to call the webservice for my application. If I call it in a sample project it is working perfectly fine. But when I merge it with My Java FX it is giving me so many errors. Web Service Client is auto generated using the Eclipse. I am trying to call the Methods only. Can Anyone help me?
Error: **Correction** I have edited it and I am using now JAVASE-15 and JVAFX-SDK 11.0.2
The package javax.xml.namespace is accessible from more than one module: java.xml, jaxrpc
Correction Update 2: I have removed Java.xml dependencies and module-info file as well.
but the new error is this
**Error: Could not find or load main class gload.Main
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application**
and IF I keep the module info file it shows:
**Error occurred during initialization of boot layer

OK, this won't really be an answer, more pointers to related issues and potential approaches to come up with solutions. But I'll post it as an answer as it is likely better to do that than lots of comments.
Unfortunately, you have multiple errors and issues, so I'll try to deal with some of them seperately.
According to:
Java FX Modular Application, Module not found (Java 11, Intellij)
The error:
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException:
Module X not found, required by Y
can occur when --module-path is wrong and the module can't be found. Probably, that is at least one of your issues. The linked answer is for Idea and I don't use Eclipse, so I don't know how to resolve the issue in Eclipse, but perhaps you could do some research to find out.
Regarding:
The package javax.xml.namespace is accessible from more than one module
there is some info on what is going on here:
Eclipse is confused by imports ("accessible from more than one module").
This fix appears tricky to me. Please review the linked questions and solutions. It looks like either you need to either
Forego Java 9+ modularity OR
Manage your dependencies to not include the violating transitive dependency OR
Change to a library that doesn't rely on the broken library (probably the preferred solution in this case).
The broken library causing this issue is likely the version of jaxrpc you are using. My guess is that some of the relevant XML libraries were only added to standard Java in Java 9, but the jaxrpc library you are using was developed prior to that. So, jaxrpc either includes the XML libraries in its classes or makes use of a transitive library that does the same. This causes a conflict because the XML libraries can only be included once in the project.
Further info on your issues is in this answer:
Eclipse can't find XML related classes after switching build path to JDK 10
The info is so ugly . . . you could read the answer, it may either help or discourage you.
Some things you could do to help resolve the situation
What should be done about this is kind of tricky and will depend on your skill level and how or if you can solve it. I'll offer up some advice on some things you could do, but there are other options. You know your application better than I so you may be able to come up with better solutions for your application.
I'd advise separating these things out, just as a way of troubleshooting, get a project which works with all of the JavaFX components and one which works with all of the SOAP components and make sure they build and do what you want. Then try to combine the two projects either by integrating them into one project or running them in separate VMs with communication between the two (e.g. via an added REST API, though that is a much more complicated solution, so think hard about that before attempting it).
Also, upgrade to the latest version of JavaFX. I don't think it will fix your issue, but it can't hurt and it is possible some refinements in recent JavaFX versions may have done some things which might help ease some of your issues (though not all of them, as some of your issues stem from jaxrpc usage in a modular project, which is unrelated to JavaFX).
Also, and probably more importantly, consider using a different SOAP client framework that interacts better with modular Java 9+ than the broken implementation that jaxrpc appears to have.
In terms of whether you should make your application modular or not (include a module-info or not), I don't really know the best approach for you. Certainly, whichever way you choose you will run into issues. But, the issues and how to resolve them will be different depending on the chosen solution path (as I guess you have already discovered during the course of your investigation for the question).
If necessary, isolate the issues down to single separate issues. If you need help in resolving each separate issue post new questions that feature minimal reproducible example code to replicate the issue. Mind if you do so, that the code is absolutely minimal and also complete so that it replicates and asks about only one issue, not a combination of more than one and that the questions are appropriate tagged - e.g. if the question is about jaxrpc and modularity it should include jaxrpc and modular tags and no JavaFX code or tags (and vice versa) and certainly on pdf code or dependencies anywhere if that isn't part of the problem.

Concept to create thread wide/class wide object

I'm searching for a concept to forward an object to subobjects.
Example:
I would like to create log files for several main Objects, that include sub objects (imagine a REST server that would log every single connection by ID).
Creating one big log file is simple ( redirect System.out.println, I already encapsulated that)
Example code:
class SubElementA{
public SubElementA(){
Debugger.debug("I am called, too");
}
}
Application.java
package com.dev4ag;
class Application{
private ElementA elA;
private String prefix;
public Application(String name){
this.elA = new ElementA();
this.prefix = name;
}
public void countUp(){
Debugger.debug(this.prefix+": I will now count up");
this.elA.doSomeStuff();
}
}
ElementA.java
package com.dev4ag;
class ElementA{
private int counter;
private SubElementA subElementA;
public void doSomeStuff(){
counter++;
Debugger.debug("Counter is: "+counter);
}
//Constructor
public ElementA(){
subElementA = new SubElementA();
this.counter = 0;
};
}
SubElementA.java
package com.dev4ag;
class SubElementA{
public SubElementA(){
Debugger.debug("I am called, too");
}
}
Debugger.java
package com.dev4ag;
public class Debugger {
public static void debug(String output){
//Just imagine we would write to a file here ;)
System.out.println(output);
}
}
(it was more easy to write system.out.println than to create a file, just imagine, Debugger.debug would write to a file).
Now I am thinking about a solution to create one Debug output target for each App. I could definitely change debug to not being static and create a debug object within Application.
But is there any way to use this object in the sub classes without forwarding the debug object either through Constructor or setter function, which would mean to have to add an object for the debugger to each class?
What would be the most beautiful solution for that?

Note that this solution might decrease performance a lot and it is pretty dirty way, but some loggers include such data.
But you can use Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace() to get stacktrace like in error and get class and method from where your method was called.
If you are using java9+ then you should probably use StackWalker API instead, especially that it have nice filters and other useful features.
So then you could guess app by class/method names on the stack.

org.openide.util.Lookup Cannot Find Any Classes Implementing

SQLUtils.java:
import org.openide.util.Lookup;
import java.util.ServiceLoader; // This doesn't work either
public class SQLUtils {
public static DBDriver getDriver(String prefix) {
for(DBDriver e : Lookup.getDefault().lookupAll(DBDriver.class)) {
System.out.println(e.getPrefix());
if(e.getPrefix().equalsIgnoreCase(prefix)) {
return e;
}
}
return null;
}
}
MySQLDriver.java:
public class MySQLDriver implements DBDriver {
#Override
public String getPrefix() {
return "mysql";
}
}
DBDriver.java:
import java.io.Serializable;
public interface DBDriver extends Serializable {
public String getPrefix();
}
Main.java:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DBDriver d = SQLUtils.getDriver("mysql");
}
}
This does nothing when running it, it cannot find any classes implementing.
What the program is trying to do is get the driver that is entered as a parameter for SQLUtils.getDriver(String prefix) (in Main.java).
For some reason I cannot get this to work.

I'm not familiar with OpenIDE Lookup mechanism, but I am familiar with the Java ServiceLoader mechanism.
You need to provide a file in the META-INF/services/ folder describing what classes implement specific interfaces. From the Java Docs describing the ServiceLoader class is this example:
If com.example.impl.StandardCodecs is an implementation of the
com.example.CodecSet service then its jar file also contains a file
named
META-INF/services/com.example.CodecSet
This file contains the single line:
com.example.impl.StandardCodecs # Standard codecs implementing com.example.CodecSet
What you are missing is a similar file that needs to be included on your classpath or within your JAR file.
You don't include you package names so I cannot provide a more direct example to help solve your problem.

I dropped the NetBeans API and switched to Reflections. I implemented Maven and ran it with IntelliJ. Works well for me.

Call DLL from Java using JNA

I am new to accessing DLLs from Java using JNA. I need to access methods from a class within a DLL(written in .net). Form this sample DLL below, I am trying to get AuditID and Server ID. I am ending with the following error while I am running my code. Any guidance really appreciated.
/// Error ///
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Error looking up function 'GetEnrollcontext': The specified procedure could not be found.
//DLL File Code//
SampleDLL.ProfileEnroll enrollcontext = new SampleDLL.ProfileEnroll();
enrollcontext.Url =” url”;
enrollcontext.AuditIdType = SampleDLL.ProfileId;
enrollcontext.AuditId = “22222222 “;
enrollcontext.ServerId = “server1”;
/// Java Code ///
import com.sun.jna.Library;
import com.sun.jna.Native;
import com.sun.jna.Structure;
import dllExtract.DLLExtractTest.SampleDLL.Enrollcontext;
public class SampleDLLExtract {
public interface SampleDLL extends Library {
SampleDLL INSTANCE = (SampleDLL) Native.loadLibrary("SampleDLL",
SampleDLL.class);
public static class Enrollcontext extends Structure {
public String auditId;
public String serverId;
}
void GetEnrollcontext(Enrollcontext ec); // void ();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SampleDLL sdll = SampleDLL.INSTANCE;
SampleDLL.Enrollcontext enrollContext = new SampleDLL.Enrollcontext();
sdll.GetEnrollcontext(enrollContext);
System.out.println(sdll.toString(sdll.GetEnrollcontext(enrollContext)));
}
}

in fact there is a solution for you to use C#, VB.NET or F# code via JNA in Java (and nothing else)! and it is also very easy to use:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/UnmanagedExports
with this package all you need to do is, add [RGiesecke.DllExport.DllExport] to your methods like that:
C# .dll Project:
[RGiesecke.DllExport.DllExport]
public static String yourFunction(String yourParameter)
{
return "CSharp String";
}
Java Project:
public interface jna extends Library {
jna INSTANCE = (jna) Native.loadLibrary("yourCSharpProject.dll", jna.class);
public String yourFunction(String yourParameter);
}
use it in the code:
System.out.println(jna.INSTANCE.yourFunction("nothingImportant"));
Viola!
As already mentioned it works very easy, but this solution has some limitations:
only available for simple datatypes as parameter & return values
no MethodOverloading available. yourFunction(String yourParameter) and yourFunction(String yourParameter, String yourSecondParameter) does not work! you have to name them differently
Use arrays as parameter or return values. (JNA offers StringArray, but I am not able to use them in C#) (maybe there is a solution, but I couldn't come up with one so far!)
if you export a method you can't call it internally in your C# code (simple to bypass that by the following:
.
[RGiesecke.DllExport.DllExport]
public static Boolean externalAvailable(String yourParameter)
{
return yourInternalFunction(yourParameter);
}
With C# it works great, with VB.NET and F# I have no experience.
hope this helps!

How to get the Groovy generated java source code

We have some legacy code with Groovy, and we want to remove Groovy from the application, so, we need to get the java source code generated after using the gmaven plug-in.
Basically, in other words I am dynamically generating new classes (using gmaven Groovy maven plug in) and I would like to be able to obtain the java source code of such generated classes.
I researched a little bit and can see that the only goals for this plug in are
<goal>generateStubs</goal>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>generateTestStubs</goal>
<goal>testCompile</goal>
I can't see any goal that allows you to obtain the fully implemented java source code, the stub code is not enough for us as we need the final implementation source code in order to get rid of Groovy.

I'm not very familiar with the gmaven plugin, but I assume it compiles the groovy code into byte code. In this case, you can use a byte code decompiler, there is a nice list here. In the past I've used JAD and it was quite nice. The best ones will also try to create meaningful variable names based on class names.
One warning though - Groovy objects are derived from GObject, not java.lang.Object, so you would probably need to keep the groovy jar until the groovy->java porting is done. Also, be prepared that it won't be a very easy to read java...

It may be out of your scope (1 year old) but I fought against the same problem and found a method to retrieve the algorithm (not the java source code) from the decompiled groovy classes.
You may want to take a look : http://michael.laffargue.fr/blog/2013/11/02/decompiling-groovy-made-classes/

The generated stubs will be useless for you. They are just what their names suggests: stubs.
The stubs are only useful when doing joint java/groovy compilation. That's because there are two compilers involved in a java/groovy mixed project.
Parse groovy
Create stubs
Compile java and stubs (using javac)
Continue groovy compilation (using groovyc)
The groovy code will be compiled using groovyc compiler and the result is byte code.
This is an example of a generated stub:
package maba.groovy;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import groovy.lang.*;
import groovy.util.*;
#groovy.util.logging.Log4j() public class Order
extends java.lang.Object implements
groovy.lang.GroovyObject {
public groovy.lang.MetaClass getMetaClass() { return (groovy.lang.MetaClass)null;}
public void setMetaClass(groovy.lang.MetaClass mc) { }
public java.lang.Object invokeMethod(java.lang.String method, java.lang.Object arguments) { return null;}
public java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.String property) { return null;}
public void setProperty(java.lang.String property, java.lang.Object value) { }
public int getPrice() { return (int)0;}
public void setPrice(int value) { }
public int getQuantity() { return (int)0;}
public void setQuantity(int value) { }
#java.lang.Override() public java.lang.String toString() { return (java.lang.String)null;}
}
As you can see there is nothing useful. And you will still depend on some groovy libraries.

This question has been on the mailing-list some time ago [0]. To summarize: Groovy to Java is hard to achieve since there are language constructs and APIs (if you do want to totally remove the Groovy dependency) that are not available in Java.
Especially with the introduction of call-site caching and other performance optimizing techniques the generated Java code would look a lot like this (for the matter of simplicity I just threw some script into JD-GUI [1]):

{
public script1351632333660()
{
script1351632333660 this;
CallSite[] arrayOfCallSite = $getCallSiteArray();
}
public script1351632333660(Binding arg1)
{
Binding context;
CallSite[] arrayOfCallSite = $getCallSiteArray();
ScriptBytecodeAdapter.invokeMethodOnSuperN($get$$class$groovy$lang$Script(), this, "setBinding", new Object[] { context });
}
public Object run()
{
CallSite[] arrayOfCallSite = $getCallSiteArray(); Object items = ScriptBytecodeAdapter.createList(new Object[0]);
Object[] item = (Object[])ScriptBytecodeAdapter.castToType(ScriptBytecodeAdapter.createList(new Object[] { "Fluff", arrayOfCallSite[1].callConstructor($get$$class$java$util$Date()), (Integer)DefaultTypeTransformation.box(11235813) }), $get$array$$class$java$lang$Object());
arrayOfCallSite[2].call(items, item);
arrayOfCallSite[3].callCurrent(this, items);
ValueRecorder localValueRecorder = new ValueRecorder();
try
{
Object tmp102_101 = items; localValueRecorder.record(tmp102_101, 8);
Object tmp126_121 = arrayOfCallSite[4].call(tmp102_101, new script1351632333660._run_closure1(this)); localValueRecorder.record(tmp126_121, 14); if (DefaultTypeTransformation.booleanUnbox(tmp126_121)) localValueRecorder.clear(); else ScriptBytecodeAdapter.assertFailed(AssertionRenderer.render("assert items.findAll { it }", localValueRecorder), null); } finally {
localValueRecorder.clear(); throw finally; } return null; return null; }
static { __$swapInit();
Long localLong1 = (Long)DefaultTypeTransformation.box(0L);
__timeStamp__239_neverHappen1351632333665 = localLong1.longValue();
Long localLong2 = (Long)DefaultTypeTransformation.box(1351632333665L);
__timeStamp = localLong2.longValue(); }
class _run_closure1 extends Closure implements GeneratedClosure { public _run_closure1(Object _thisObject) { super(_thisObject); }
