[Jython-users] send xml to SOAP service with Axis

[Moore, G. <Gre...@ad...>]

Hi,
I am a long time fan of Jython and a long time reader of this list. The
members of this list have indirectly answered may of my questions.
However I have a question that I haven't found an answer to. I hope the
members the list can help me with. I Just need to upload an xml file to
a service the get and display the result. Check for fault and report on
them if they happen.=20

I'm learning SOAP (client side is all I need) and I'm using Axis 1.4
however my python skills are much better then my Java skills. so I'm
having a little translating the example client that comes with axis=20

The basic question is how do I translate the following line:
String ret =3D (String) call.invoke( new Object[] { "Hello!" } );=20

below is the code I wrote. I hope the formatting isn't too messed up.
Thanks for all the past help and thanks in advance for any help with
this. It is truly much appreciated.=20

The java looks like:=20
public class TestClient
{
  public static void main(String [] args) {
   try {
     String endpoint =3D
"http://nagoya.apache.org:5049/axis/services/echo";
      Service  service =3D new Service();
      Call call =3D (Call) service.createCall();

      call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );
      call.setOperationName(
=09=09new QName("http://soapinterop.org/", "echoString"));
    =20
     // I got stuck translating the next line.
     String ret =3D (String) call.invoke( new Object[] { "Hello!" } );
      System.out.println("Sent 'Hello!', got '" + ret + "'");
       } catch (Exception e) {
           System.err.println(e.toString());
       }
   }
}

So this is what I have so far... but I'm not sure where the xml file
comes in... I don't really understand the use of ByteArrayInputStream=20
Yes I know there are easier ways to accomplish this but it needs to be
SOAP. Please just accept that. If I'm really off base please let me know
that as well.=20

    print '\n\nResponse:\n', result # was: env

    return result

if __name__ =3D=3D '__main__':

=09doTest(url, servicename)

=3D=3D=3D
I can provide an example xml file if needed but it starts out as
usual...
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"utf-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV=3D"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC=3D"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:xsi=3D"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd=3D"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <GetReportXml
xmlns=3D"http://[someHostName]/Ecommerce/Services/Credit">
=09<xmlrequest>
=09<!-- bunch of stuff here -->
      </xmlrequest>
    </GetReportXml>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
