SOAP messaging with SAAJ

P

Phil Wilkinson

A newb question really that I hope someone can help me with.

I am experimenting with SOAP using a standalone Java application, built
along the lines of this tutorial
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-jaxmsoap/ but using
Google's API so that I can at least send and get a response from
something. As in the tutorial I have dowloaded and set up Java Web
Services Developer Pack and I am using Eclipse. (Yes I know there are
easier ways like using Google's Java client library but I'm using SAAJ,
as the SOAP service/environment I will eventually be using means that
this is all that I will have available to me).

I can send and receive the SOAP message OK using the Transformer object
and can dump out the response tree. I really need to obtain the
individual elements value only (in this case a correct spelling
suggestion) but when I modify my code to try to access the individual
elements as in the Sun tutorial here
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/SAAJ3.html I get an
error message related to the iterator, in particular it seems unable to
access the individual element (see below).

java.util.NoSuchElementException
at
com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.soap.impl.ElementImpl$3.next(ElementImpl.java:723)
at Request.main(Request.java:56)

Iterator code below:

SOAPBody soapBody = response.getSOAPBody();
System.out.println("\nRESPONSE:\n");
Iterator iterator = soapBody.getChildElements(bodyName);
SOAPBodyElement ReturnedBodyElement =
(SOAPBodyElement)iterator.next();
String returned = ReturnedBodyElement.getValue();
System.out.print("The Response from the server is ");
System.out.println(returned);

Using Transformer object I get this (so I know I can get a response!):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:doSpellingSuggestionResponse xmlns:ns1="urn:GoogleSearch"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<return xsi:type="xsd:string">half</return>
</ns1:doSpellingSuggestionResponse>

</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Any suggestions as to how I can get the iterator to work so I can
access the returned value would be much appreciated.

Did you check the value of bodyName?

If you're willing to post it, I'd like to see your source code, as I'm
also interested in the Google API :)

My WAG is that you're leaving out the namespace of
doSpellingSuggestionResponse.
