How do I unsubscribe from this list (for a few weeks while I am side
tracked)?

I just don't see instructions in the main Axis site on how to unsubscribe.
I tried putting "unsubscribe" in the subject and it was rejected.

Thanks!

This is pretty basic stuff, but I think it improves on the manual hopefully
helps a little. Would like

1. Comments
2. Somoene to do unix versions of the scripts

Perhaps in the medium term somoene could consider using this to improve the
main docs?

wsdl not showing correctly in IE6.0 from Axis 1.1

Posted by sm...@spansurf.com.

Hi Guys,

Has anybody come across the following problem.

I have a wsdl file which contains the German sharp S character. If I open the 
wsdl directly with IE6.0 it displays correctly including all my German 
characters. However, If I use the Axis 1.1 <service url>?wsdl option from IE6.0 
it fails to display my entire wsdl file and IE6.0 reports an error at the line 
and char possition that the German sharp S (unicode U+00df) appears

IE6.0 Error ***********************************************

<WSDL FILE DISPLAYED UPTO A BUFFER SIZE> .....

The XML page cannot be displayed 

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then 
click the Refresh button, or try again later. 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing 
resource 'http://localhost:3080/onlineShop/services/onlineShopSoapPort?wsdl'. 
Line 592, Position 33 

     <enumeration value="Reisepa

************************************************************************

Extract from wsdl file *************************************
.
.
.
<simpleType name="PassportTypeEnum">
 <restriction base="xsd:string">
  <enumeration value="" /> 
  <enumeration value="Personalausweis" /> 
  <enumeration value="Reisepaß" /> 
 </restriction>
</simpleType>
.
.
.
******************************************************************

As can be seen the German sharp S in the word Reisepaß is causing this problem.


How does Axis present the wsdl to the browser differently than opening the file 
directly?

N.B. I have tried the Axis generated wsdl and providing the deploy.wsdd with a 
<wsdlFile>/onlineShop.wsdl</wsdlFile> element and placed the wsdl file in my 
web application WEB-INF/classes directory


If anybody knows the solution to this I would be very greatful to receive an 
answer.

Re: Need of WSDL in Axis1.1

Posted by anup sinha <kr...@yahoo.co.in>.

Hi tom,
Thanx for ur mail. I agree with that "what you are saying". WSDL file is required when client programe need to invoke Web Services. (To get methods and theris parameters). As you wrote, http://foo.com/myservice.jws?wsdl this is the way to get WSDL file on the client side and further wsing this WSDL we can genrate STUB and SKELTEN by using WSDL2JAVA command.
But I am not understanding, is this if the above command is working fine to get WSDL , then what the need to create seprate .WSDL file using command( like http://foo.com/myservice.wsdl) and anotherthing where should i store this .wsdl file. (On server side)

Thanks

Anup,

If .jws is sufficient for you (you're using simple types such as
strings, ints and arrays) then fine. You don't need to do anything
further - the WSDL comes in potentially when writing clients and not, in
this case, the server.

The WSDL informs the client software (or its author) how it, he or she
should interact with the service. In the case of .jws deployment you
don't need to explicitly save or generate this, it will be available at
the ?wsdl address. For example, if your service endpoint is at
http://foo.com/myservice.jws the WSDL will be available at
http://foo.com/myservice.jws?wsdl

On the client side I suggest you take a look at
http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/user-guide.html especially the section
'Using WSDL with Axis' (it's a bit over half way down) which explains
the use of the WSDL2Java tool to build your client side stubs. A stub
class is a bit of code that abstracts away the transport (SOAP + HTTP)
from the client code, and it is this code that can be generated
automatically from the WSDL.

HTH,

Tom
