Class Call

Implemented Interfaces:
Call

public class Call
extends java.lang.Object
implements Call

Axis' JAXRPC Dynamic Invocation Interface implementation of the Call interface. This class should be used to actually invoke the Web Service. It can be prefilled by a WSDL document (on the constructor to the Service object) or you can fill in the data yourself.
 Standard properties defined by in JAX-RPC's javax..xml.rpc.Call interface:
     USERNAME_PROPERTY        - User name for authentication
     PASSWORD_PROPERTY        - Password for authentication
     SESSION_PROPERTY         - Participate in a session with the endpoint?
     OPERATION_STYLE_PROPERTY - "rpc" or "document"
     SOAPACTION_USE_PROPERTY  - Should SOAPAction be used?
     SOAPACTION_URI_PROPERTY  - If SOAPAction is used, this is that action
     ENCODING_STYLE_PROPERTY  - Default is SOAP 1.1:  "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"

 AXIS properties:
     SEND_TYPE_ATTR - Should we send the XSI type attributes (true/false)
     TIMEOUT        - Timeout used by transport sender in milliseconds
     TRANSPORT_NAME - Name of transport handler to use
     ATTACHMENT_ENCAPSULATION_FORMAT- Send attachments as MIME the default, or DIME.
     CHARACTER_SET_ENCODING - Character set encoding to use for request

Constructor Details

Call

public Call(String url)
            throws MalformedURLException
Build a call from a URL string. This is handy so that you don't have to manually call Call.initialize() in order to register custom transports. In other words, whereas doing a new URL("local:...") would fail, new Call("local:...") works because we do the initialization of our own and any configured custom protocols.
Parameters:
url - the target endpoint URL

Call

public Call(URL url)
Build a call from a URL.
Parameters:
url - the target endpoint URL

Call

public Call(Service service)
Default constructor - not much else to say.
Parameters:
service - the Service this Call will work with

Parameters:
namespace - the desired namespace URI of the method element

invokeOneWay

public void invokeOneWay(Object[] params)
Invokes the operation associated with this Call object using the passed in parameters as the arguments to the method. This will return immediately rather than waiting for the server to complete its processing. NOTE: the return immediately part isn't implemented yet
Specified by:
invokeOneWay in interface Call
Parameters:
params - Array of parameters to invoke the Web Service with

isParameterAndReturnSpecRequired

public boolean isParameterAndReturnSpecRequired(QName operationName)
Is the caller required to provide the parameter and return type specification? If true, then addParameter and setReturnType MUST be called to provide the meta data. If false, then addParameter and setReturnType SHOULD NOT be called because the Call object already has the meta data describing the parameters and return type. If addParameter is called, the specified parameter is added to the end of the list of parameters.
Specified by:
isParameterAndReturnSpecRequired in interface Call

setOperation

public void setOperation(String opName)
Prefill as much info from the WSDL as it can. Right now it's SOAPAction, operation qname, parameter types and return type of the Web Service. This methods considers that port name and target endpoint address have already been set. This is useful when you want to use the same Call instance for several calls on the same Port Note: Not part of JAX-RPC specification.
Parameters:
opName - Operation(method) that's going to be invoked

setOperation

public void setOperation(QName portName,
                         String opName)
prefill as much info from the WSDL as it can. Right now it's target URL, SOAPAction, Parameter types, and return type of the Web Service. If wsdl is not present, this function set port name and operation name and does not modify target endpoint address. Note: Not part of JAX-RPC specification.
Parameters:
portName - PortName in the WSDL doc to search for
opName - Operation(method) that's going to be invoked

setOperation

public void setOperation(QName portName,
                         QName opName)
prefill as much info from the WSDL as it can. Right now it's target URL, SOAPAction, Parameter types, and return type of the Web Service. If wsdl is not present, this function set port name and operation name and does not modify target endpoint address. Note: Not part of JAX-RPC specification.
Parameters:
portName - PortName in the WSDL doc to search for
opName - Operation(method) that's going to be invoked

setOperation

public void setOperation(OperationDesc operation)
Hand a complete OperationDesc to the Call, and note that this was done so that others don't try to mess with it by calling addParameter, setReturnType, etc.
Parameters:
operation - the OperationDesc to associate with this call.

setOperationName

public void setOperationName(String opName)
This is a convenience method. If the user doesn't care about the QName of the operation, the user can call this method, which converts a String operation name to a QName.

setOperationName

public void setOperationName(QName opName)
Sets the operation name associated with this Call object. This will not check the WSDL (if there is WSDL) to make sure that it's a valid operation name.
Specified by:
setOperationName in interface Call
Parameters:
opName - Name of the operation.

setOperationStyle

public void setOperationStyle(String operationStyle)
Set the operation style: "document", "rpc"
Parameters:
operationStyle - string designating style

setOperationStyle

public void setOperationStyle(Style operationStyle)
Set the operation style
Parameters:
operationStyle -

setOperationUse

public void setOperationUse(String operationUse)
Set the operation use: "literal", "encoded"
Parameters:
operationUse - string designating use

setOperationUse

public void setOperationUse(Use operationUse)
Set the operation use
Parameters:
operationUse -

setOption

public void setOption(String name,
                      Object value)
Set engine option. Note: Not part of JAX-RPC specification.

setPassword

public void setPassword(String password)
Set the password.
Parameters:
password - plain-text copy of the password

setPortName

public void setPortName(QName portName)
Sets the port name of this Call object. This call will not set any additional fields, nor will it do any checking to verify that this port name is actually defined in the WSDL - for now anyway.
Parameters:
portName - Fully qualified name of the port

setPortTypeName

public void setPortTypeName(QName portType)
Sets the port type name of this Call object. This call will not set any additional fields, nor will it do any checking to verify that this port type is actually defined in the WSDL - for now anyway.
Specified by:
setPortTypeName in interface Call
Parameters:
portType - Fully qualified name of the portType

setProperty

public void setProperty(String name,
                        Object value)
Allows you to set a named property to the passed in value. There are a few known properties (like username, password, etc) that are variables in Call. The rest of the properties are stored in a Hashtable. These common properties should be accessed via the accessors for speed/type safety, but they may still be obtained via this method. It's up to one of the Handlers (or the Axis engine itself) to go looking for one of them. There are various well defined properties defined in the JAX-RPC specification and declared in the Call and Stub classes. It is not possible to set any other properties beginning in java. or javax. that are not in the specification.
Specified by:
setProperty in interface Call
Parameters:
name - Name of the property
value - Value of the property

setRequestMessage

public void setRequestMessage(Message msg)

Parameters:
msg - the new request message.

setReturnClass

public void setReturnClass(Class cls)
Sets the desired return Java Class. This is a convenience method which will cause the Call to automatically convert return values into a desired class if possible. For instance, we return object arrays by default now for SOAP arrays - you could specify: setReturnClass(Vector.class) and you'd get a Vector back from invoke() instead of having to do the conversion yourself. Note: Not part of JAX-RPC specification. To be JAX-RPC compliant, use setReturnType(QName, Class).
Parameters:
cls - the desired return class.

setReturnQName

public void setReturnQName(QName qname)

Parameters:
xmlType - - QName of the data type of the return value
javaType - - Java class of the return value

Parameters:
soapConstants - the SOAPConstants object representing the correct version
