new to webservices and need help

[Bjoern]

Hi

I am pretty new to web services and I stared to build an application based on the examples distributed with the spring-ws framework.

At the moment i am stuck.
Server side looks quite good but i'm not 100% sure if i deployed it right. anyway it shouldn't matter for what is concerning my problem.

I wanted to use a very basic client for first testings. I used the saaj client example from the airport project and modified it for my project.

But I must have done something wrong, because every time i end up with such an error code:

Received SOAP Fault
SOAP Fault Code :SOAP-ENV:Client
SOAP Fault String :Validation error

I assume my problem is in the way i try to create te response on client side.
here's my code (like the one from the airpot example) and xsd:

...
private SOAPMessage createUserRequest() throws SOAPException {

        SOAPMessage message = messageFactory.createMessage();
        SOAPEnvelope envelope = message.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope();


        Name createUserRequestName = envelope.createName("CreateUserRequest", PREFIX, NAMESPACE_URI);
        SOAPBodyElement createUserRequestElement = message.getSOAPBody().addBodyElement(createUserRequestName);

        Name userName = envelope.createName("user", PREFIX, NAMESPACE_URI);
        SOAPElement userElement = createUserRequestElement.addChildElement(userName);
        Name usernameName = envelope.createName("username", PREFIX, NAMESPACE_URI);
        userElement.addAttribute(usernameName, "username").setValue("username");
        Name passwordName = envelope.createName("password", PREFIX, NAMESPACE_URI);
        userElement.addAttribute(passwordName, "pw").setValue("pw");

        Name userToCreateName = envelope.createName("userToCreate", PREFIX, NAMESPACE_URI);
        SOAPElement userToCreateElement = createUserRequestElement.addChildElement(userToCreateName);
        Name userToCreatenameName = envelope.createName("username", PREFIX, NAMESPACE_URI);
        userElement.addAttribute(userToCreatenameName, "username").setValue("username");
        Name passwordToCreateName = envelope.createName("password", PREFIX, NAMESPACE_URI);
        userToCreateElement.addAttribute(passwordToCreateName, "pw").setValue("pw");

        Name userToCreateIsAdminName = envelope.createName("userToCreateIsAdmin", PREFIX, NAMESPACE_URI);
        SOAPElement userToCreateIsAdminElement = createUserRequestElement.addChildElement(userToCreateIsAdminName);
        userToCreateIsAdminElement.setValue("true");


        System.out.println(message.getSOAPBody().getTextContent());


       	return message;
        
        }

	public void callWebService() throws SOAPException, IOException,
			TransformerException {
		//SOAPMessage request = createEchoRequest();
		SOAPMessage request = createUserRequest();
		SOAPConnection connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
		SOAPMessage response = connection.call(request, url);
		if (!response.getSOAPBody().hasFault()) {
			writeEchoResponse(response);
		} else {
			SOAPFault fault = response.getSOAPBody().getFault();
			System.err.println("Received SOAP Fault");
			System.err.println("SOAP Fault Code :" + fault.getFaultCode());
			System.err.println("SOAP Fault String :" + fault.getFaultString());
		}
	}

solved this finally..

now i know i did completely stupid things. if anyone intersting in the right code, let me know. but i guess that's no real questions if you know how to construct the soap msg properly (which i didn't when i posted here)

Yeah, SAAJ allows you to construct invalid SOAP messages. Something I tried to fix by creating the SoapMessage wrapper.
