Java client works, C++ fails against same Java server and same wsdl

[Thomas Hentschel Lund <th...@trylleskoven.dk>]

Hi,

I've been pulling my hairs on this one all day, and cannot get past the 
problems alone.

I'm evaluating axis and gsoap (maybe more) for having a c++ client 
accessing a JBoss webservice (created using the jboss.net package and 
xdoclet).

My efforts with axis have until now proven wonderfully easy with a java 
client (to test the service), but the c++ client bombs out.

I created both the java and c++ stubs using the same jar files and the 
same wsdl file (generated by JBoss 3.2.3 and 3.2.4rc2).

When running the c++ client I get
execution break
m_MsgSize == 0, so return NULL

every time I try to access the server.

The server has the following error in its log

No such operation 'validateLogin'
    at org.apache.axis.message.RPCElement.deserialize(RPCElement.java:301)
    at org.apache.axis.message.RPCElement.getParams(RPCElement.java:347)
    at 
org.apache.axis.providers.java.RPCProvider.processMessage(RPCProvider.java:184)
    at 
org.jboss.net.axis.server.EJBProvider.processMessage(EJBProvider.java:260)

And returns this
2004-05-25 15:49:46,677 DEBUG [org.apache.axis.SOAPPart] Exit: 
SOAPPart::getAsString(): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The java client operates without any problems.

The method I try to invoke is:

    /**
     * @ejb.interface-method
     * @ejb.permission unchecked="true"
     * @ejb.transaction type="Required"
     * @jboss-net.web-method
     */
    public boolean validateLogin(String userName, String password) {
        try {
            UserLocal user = 
UserUtil.getLocalHome().findByUsername(userName);
            if (user.getPassword().equals(password)) {
                // Password ok
                return true;
            }
        } catch (NamingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (FinderException e) {
            // Username not valid
            return false;
        }
        return false;
    }


Does anyone have any clues what so ever? Any pointers are appreciated. 
Else I will have to abandon axis as a solution. Google and the maillist 
archives didnt give me any clues.

I'm running the server on a Linux machine, client (both java and c++) on 
a win xp. I also tried running the server on the same windows box with same problem. Its the latest axis 1.1.1 for C++ I try to use.

Thanks
