WebService Portal Problem

[Former Member]

I want to access a WebService from a Portal component. Easy I thought, just clicking through the wizard and voila. But it didn't work out that way. The generated type classes do not represent the wsdl structure correctly (response/request in wsdl defined with xsd). For example a sequence of strings happens to be just a plain string in the generated types structure.

The connection worked (axis TCPView did show me the correct soap request/response), but IPRTSOAPCall.invokeMethod returned null.

The generation process for the same wsdl worked out well with a DeployableProxy and a servlet. No problem with that.

1. How do I enable the soap.log file some docs talk about and where may I find it?

2. Can I access the DeployableProxy from a Portal component/service? Is the Portal JNDI different from the J2EE JNDI?

I can still switch to axis, but hope the portal is powerful enough to let me use its WS connectivity options.

Greetings,

1. Go to system administration->Monitoring->Logging console, select SOAPLogger click configuration mode and activate it.

2. You can do JNDI lookups from a portal service(see for example http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webas/java/accessin... ejb applications using jndi.pdf and there should be many threads about this)

AFAIK, there is not portal JNDI. Portal services are used diffrently (and I believe independently of the J2EE structure).
