Webservice (SOAP) with complex data type and KSOAP Client

Postby cbraun75 » Tue May 27, 2008 3:44 pm

Hi! Just have nothing found for this with complex types so I tried it on my own for 2 days. And there it is my solution. Maybe there are better ones then please write them to me. Thanxx!

[font=Arial Black]Tutorial Coldfusion 8 Webservice (SOAP) with ANDROID Client (KSOAP) and PHP Client (NUSOAP)[/font]

So I tried the KSOAP with the tutorials and codes from Lex and the ksoap library from tuxpan look at theGoogle Discussion

for a coldfusion webservice with soap (Ksoap for android)

[font=Arial Black]1. Coldfusion Webservice[/font]
The coldfusion webservice is made very easy:
Just download coldfusion for developer it's free and set up the internal webserver
Just administrate it with localhost:8500

After this you made a new folder in the wwwroot folder like mine is DA.
Then into this you make a folder ws_functions. Into this folder you save the test6.cfc componet (this is the webservice) the wsdl file is made automatically for you.

test6.cfc:
Code: Select all
<cfcomponent >
  <!---    Every CFC method published as a web service must have a returntype specified.
          If your web service does not return a value, set returntype="void".  --->
         
  <cffunction
      name="getMessage"
      access="remote"
      returnType="filename[]"
      output="false">
         
              <!---    Optional input parameters are not supported in web services. Therefore,
                  if you have any cfargument tags with the required attribute set to no,
                  the setting is ignored and the argument treated as required. --->
          <cfargument name="vname" type="string" required="yes">
          <cfargument name="nname" type="string" required="yes"> 
   
      
     <cfset var response = ArrayNew(1)>
     <cfset var temp = "">
    
     <cfobject component="filename" name="tempname">
     <cfset tempname.vname = arguments.vname>
     <cfset tempname.nname = arguments.nname>
     <cfset temp = ArrayAppend(response, tempname)>
    
      <!--- Hier loop um mehrere Angaben zu übertragen --->
    <cfloop index = "LoopCount" from = 1 to = 5 >
       <cfobject component="filename" name="tempname2">
       <cfset tempname2.vname = #LoopCount#>
       <cfset tempname2.nname = #LoopCount# >
       <cfset temp = ArrayAppend(response, tempname2)>
    </cfloop>
    
    
   <cfreturn response>
  </cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

This webservice needs 2 strings vname and nname which means first and lastname for the definition of the complex type which is the returntype you must make another component which is placed in the ws_functions folder called filename.cfc:

Code: Select all
<cfcomponent>
  <cfproperty name="vname" type="string">
  <cfproperty name="nname" type="string">
</cfcomponent>


2. PHP NUSOAP CLIENT
After this your webservice can be connected through a new coldfusion site or with php and nusoap - i tried the second and the first one.

The second one you need an xampp or lampp server. (I loaded it from http://www.apachefriends.org)
NuSoap you can load it from Sourceforge or other sites But becareful with php5! Because it implements a native soap lib and the client is called like the same from nusoap so you must download this for php5 and intall it into webfolder Modified Version Download for php5

Then just enter the following code which is a ltitle bit changed from this one Scott Nichol version little bit updated

PLEASE LOOK IN THE scripts for more COMMENTS ...

Code: Select all
<?php
// Important to set the nusoap lib into the webfolder
      require_once "nusoap/lib/nusoap.php";

      $params = array(
      'vname' => 'chris',
      'nname' => 'braun'
      );
      //Version zur Abfrage
      // ohne literal style = cfcomponent ohne document
// IMPORTANT IN VISTA DON'T TRY LOCALHOST ONLY IP IS GOOD! BECAUSE VISTA DON'T let you use webservice code at a local server don't ask me why
      $client = new soapclientnusoap("http://192.168.1.7:8500/DA/ws_functions/test6.cfc?wsdl", true);
// ! IMPORTANT i used the changed php 5 nusoap client so it's ... new saopclientnusoap !!! initialization
      // Check for an error
      $err = $client->getError();
      if ($err) {
          // Display the error
          echo '<h2>Constructor error</h2><pre>' . $err . '</pre>';
          // At this point, you know the call that follows will fail
      }
      // Call the SOAP method
      $result = $client->call('getMessage' ,$params );
      // Check for a fault
      if ($client->fault) {
          echo '<h2>Fault</h2><pre>';
          print_r($result);
          echo '</pre>';
      } else {
          // Check for errors
          $err = $client->getError();
          if ($err) {
              // Display the error
              echo '<h2>Error</h2><pre>' . $err . '</pre>';
          } else {
              // Display the result
              echo '<h2>Result</h2><pre>';
              print_r($result);
          echo '</pre>';
          }
      }
      // Display the request and response
      echo '<h2>Request</h2>';
      echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->request, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
      echo '<h2>Response</h2>';
      echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->response, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
      // Display the debug messages
      echo '<h2>Debug</h2>';
      echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->debug_str, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';

?>


3. SOAP ENVELOPE RESPONSE
If you call this then you can see what the client sends to the server what he gets back from the server (SOAP ENvelope) This is what it looks like here: The Full Resonse of the SOAP coldfusion web service:

So you can see the complex type of filenmae has two strings in it vname and nname.

4. ANDROID CLIENT (KSOAP)
To get a client for android you must import first the ksoap library of tuxpan Download the full android project from Full Project and the modify the Main class like this

Hi Chris,

1) thanks for the example!

2) I get an "XmlPullParserException (id=830004343520)" if I try to call this Calulator Webservice

http://webservices.iter.dk/calculator.asmx?op=Add

May be you have an idea, what the problem is?

Here is my code:

I'm trying to use ksoap but I receive the following error:

java.io.IOEXCeption: SSL handshake failure: Failure in SSL library, usually a protocol error
error:130770FC:SSL
routinesSSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol(extlibs/openssl-0.9.8.h/ssl/s23_cInt.c:585
0xaf58a238:0x00000000)

My code is below:
private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "urn:server#testCall";
private static final String METHOD_NAME = "testCall";
private static final String NAMESPACE = "urn:server";
private static final String URL = "http://192.168.16.69/test.php";
private Object resultRequestSOAP = null;


try {
SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);

AndroidHttpTransport androidHttpTransport = new AndroidHttpTransport(URL);
androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);


resultRequestSOAP = envelope.getResponse();
String[] results = (String[]) resultRequestSOAP;
tvStatus.setText( results[0]);

} catch (IllegalArgumentException e){
tvError.setText("Error in soap arg: " + e);
} catch (InterruptedIOException e){
tvError.setText("Error in soap interupt : " + e);
} catch (IOException e) {
tvError.setText("Error in soap io: " + e);
} catch (XmlPullParserException e) {
tvError.setText("Error in soap xml: " + e);

}

Any idea what this means?

I have a problem with AndroidHttpTransport.

Postby cattivik » Sat Jan 03, 2009 11:09 pm

Hello!
I have a problem with AndroidHttpTransport.
If the URL is not reachable, because the server is down, AndroidHttpTransport don't thrown any Exception.
It is possible to insert a time out?
Please give me some example,
Thanks

Problem while calling the web services in android

Postby karthick » Thu Aug 06, 2009 1:11 pm

Problem while calling the web services in android.

To call web services in android I have done the following steps

1. Wrote the web service class in java and stored in apache axis. (in .jws format)


public class ADD2No
{
public int add(int a,int b)
{
return (a+b);
}

public int sub(int c,int d)
{
return (c-d);
}
}

2. Then is have tested the web service on web browser.

http://192.168.1.41:8081/axis/ADD2No.jws

I have got.

There is a Web Service here
Click to see the WSDL
in browser.
3. then I implement the service using core java and Ksoap2 library. Its working fine.

4. But I got error when I call the web service via android.

5. This is my code.

package com.example.SamWebService;

import org.ksoap2.SoapEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapObject;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.transport.AndroidHttpTransport;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class WebServiceInAndroid extends Activity
{
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

/*
private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "HelloYou";
private static final String METHOD_NAME = "getHello";
private static final String NAMESPACE = "urn:HelloYou";
private static final String URL = "http://localhost/lab/service.php";
*/

private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "ADD2No";
private static final String METHOD_NAME = "add";
private static final String NAMESPACE = "urn:ADD2No";
private static final String URL = "http://elcserver:8081/axis/ADD2No.wsdl";


//private Object resultsRequestSOAP = null;


@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle)
{
super.onCreate(icicle);

TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt1);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

try
{
SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
request.addProperty("a", 3);
request.addProperty("b", 4);

SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
//envelope.dotNet = true;
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
AndroidHttpTransport androidHttpTransport = new AndroidHttpTransport(URL);

try
{
androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);

//Parse Response

SoapObject resultsRequestSOAP = (SoapObject) envelope.bodyIn;

//String xy = resultsRequestSOAP.getProperty(0).toString();

tv.setText("Ganzes Rückagbeobjekt:n"+resultsRequestSOAP.toString());




}

catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}

}
catch(Exception e)
{
tv.setText("Error : " + e.getMessage());
}


}



}
6. I have tried lot of methods still I am getting the error.
“Your application has been stopped unexpectedly”

7. my application’s manifest file is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.SamWebService"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".WebServiceInAndroid"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

<uses-permission xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />
</manifest>

8. So give me solutions to overcome this problem and how to define the SOAP_NAME, METHOD_NAME, NAMESPACE and URL what they meant really.

9. Give me the step by step procedure to call apache axis web services from android.

Hi,

I am a newbie to Android. I am trying to follow your above tutorial and got the following questions:

1. If I just want to try web services (SOAP, WSDL) with Android client, do I have to install Adobe Coldfusion?

2. Could you please provide me some details on installation and use of Coldfusion for your tutorial, please?

Thanks.
