Problems with JiBX WS Client

[mtodd]

I'm attempting to consume a WS and am having no luck Marshalling or UnMarshalling through JiBX. I was hoping some assistance from the board will prevent me from checking into the Loony Bin...

I'm currently using JDK 1.5, and JiBX 1.1.5, and used xsd2jibx xsd2jibx-beta0.2b to generate my Client stubs & binding.xml

Any examples using JiBX would be much appreciated, as I could not find any on the web.


The Exception I'm getting:

Unable to access binding information for class net.webservicex.GetWeatherByZipCode
Make sure the binding has been compiled;

My ApplicationContext is as follows:

<bean id="webServiceClient" class="com.company.WebServiceClient">
	<property name="defaultUri" value="http://www.webservicex.net/WeatherForecast.asmx"/>
	<property name="marshaller" ref="marshaller" />
	<property name="unmarshaller" ref="unmarshaller" />
</bean>
<bean id="marshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.jibx.JibxMarshaller" >
 	<property name="targetClass"><value>net.webservicex.GetWeatherByZipCode</value></property>
</bean>
<bean id="unmarshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.jibx.JibxMarshaller" >
	<property name="targetClass"><value>net.webservicex.GetWeatherByZipCodeResponse</value></property>
</bean>

My Client Source is as follow:

public class WebServiceClient extends WebServiceGatewaySupport{

	public void customSendAndReceive() {
	
	GetWeatherByZipCode gvr = new GetWeatherByZipCode();
	gvr.setZipCode("19026");
	GetWeatherByZipCodeResponse response = (GetWeatherByZipCodeResponse) getWebServiceTemplate().marshalSendAndReceive(gvr, new WebServiceMessageCallback(){
        public void doInMessage(WebServiceMessage message) {
            ((SoapMessage)message).setSoapAction("http://www.webservicex.net/GetWeatherByZipCode");
        }

		public void doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage arg0) throws IOException,
				TransformerException {
			// TODO Auto-generated method stub
			
		}			
	});	
    }

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
	ApplicationContext applicationContext =
		new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml", WebServiceClient.class);
	WebServiceClient ws = (WebServiceClient) applicationContext.getBean("webServiceClient");
	ws.customSendAndReceive();
	

The WSDL can be found at: http://localhost:8080/axis2/services...ngService?wsdl

From glancing over it, it looks ok. WHat is the error you are getting? Could you add the log file as well?

I'm thinking it has to be some sort of Jar conflict, but I've tried switching versions of particular Third-Party Jars, but still nothing...

Do you need to have the JiBX Binding file within the classpath? Is that what's causing this problem? I haven't read anywhere that states that you need this, but I wasn't sure. If this is the case, what does it need to be named, and where should it be located? I've seen that you can set the bindingName like the following:

<bean id="jibxMarshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.jibx.JibxMarshaller" >
        <property name="targetClass"><value>net.webservicex.GetWeatherByZipCode</value></property>
        <property name="bindingName" value="classpath:binding.xml"/>
</bean>

But am not 100% sure that is the correct way to configure this.

[Alan Stewart]

I have seen this problem in my current application and I believe it is caused by one of 2 things.

Are you using an IDE, like Eclipse? If so, how are you running the JiBX binding compiler task? I had to register a builder in Eclipse to run an Ant script:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--
     Maven2 should be used for build. This build.xml is to inject JiBX binding into the compiled class files via externalToolBuilders feature of Eclipse. 
-->
<project name="pap-core" default="jibx_build" basedir=".">
	<property name="build.classes.dir" value="${basedir}/target/classes" />
	<property name="lib.dir" value="${M2_REPO}" />
	<path id="build.classpath">
		<fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
			<include name="**/jibx/**/1.1.3/*.jar" />
			<include name="**/bcel/**/5.2/*.jar" />
			<include name="**/xpp3/**/1.1.3.4.O/*.jar" />
			<include name="**/stax/stax-api/1.0.1/*.jar" />
			<include name="**/stax/stax/1.2.0/*.jar" />
		</fileset>
	</path>
	<taskdef name="bind" description="JiBX binding compiler task definition" classname="org.jibx.binding.ant.CompileTask" classpathref="build.classpath" />
	<target name="jibx_build" description="Runs (BCEL) Byte Code Enhancement for XML binding for marshalling/unmarshaling ">
		<bind verbose="true" load="false">
			<bindingfileset dir=".">
				<include name="etc/jibx_binding/pap_jibx_binding.xml" />
			</bindingfileset>
			<classpathset dir="${build.classes.dir}" />
		</bind>
	</target>
</project>

So whenever I do a clean or modify some code in this project, the ant script runs and the JiBX compiler does its stuff.

If you do a clean within Eclipse, without re-running the JiBX compiler, the classes won't have the byte-code injected JiBX information them and you will get the error you mentioned.

Secondly, are your XML messages namespace aware? I.e. do they have an xmlns attribute in them? If so, you will have to add the namespace to the binding, either at a global level (below the binding element) or in each mapping if the namespaces are different for each mapping. An example I have is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<binding>
	<namespace uri="http://www.gilbarco.com/schema/wow" default="elements" />
	<mapping name="ClientInfo" class="au.com.woolworths.pap.oxm.ClientInfoDto" ordered="true">
....	
	</mapping>

Alan your the greatest!!! I completely forgot about the JiBX Compiler step. It worked like a charm afterwards!

Thanks again!
