Calling web service in JBoss generates ERROR, but not in Tomcat

[Lisa S ()]

Hi,
I call a web service with cxf. When I run the code in JBoss I get the following
error message:

INFO: No cxf.xml configuration file detected, relying on defaults.
07:26:36,950 ERROR[STDERR] 2009-nov-05 07:26:36 org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ReflectionServiceFactoryBean buildServiceFromWSDL
INFO: Creating Service {http://www.medvind.it/}MvBusLayerService from WSDL: http://medvind.dyndns.org:3333/MvBusinessLayer/MvBusLayerService.asmx?WSDL


When I run the same code in Tomcat I don´t get the ERROR text.

2009-nov-05 07:48:50 org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ReflectionServiceFactoryBean buildServiceFromWSDL
INFO: Creating Service {http://www.medvind.it/}MvBusLayerService from WSDL: http://medvind.dyndns.org:3333/MvBusinessLayer/MvBusLayerService.asmx?WSDL

In both cases the service returns ok. But why does JBoss log an ERROR?

I use cxf 2.1.2 and JBoss 4.2.0.GA.

Thanks!

It's a "bug" in JBoss in the way they map java.util.logging logging that CXF
does into log4j.   Anything we log at "info" level into java.util.logging
comes out as ERROR level.

There is some information at:
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/debugging-and-logging.html
on how to get CXF to log to Log4J.  I'm not sure if that is usable with JBoss
or not, but it may help.  With 2.2.5, we're going to try and detect log4j
usage a bit better and auto switch.

Hi,

I am using the JAXRS WebClient API and get a json response from a rest
service. Does CXF support reading of the json using a message body reader
that I can attach to the WebClient? Are there any examples of the usage of
WebClient showing processing of the response?

Thanks very much for any help.

It should work out of the box....What issues you're seeing in reading JSON ? Can you please post a sample
sequence ?

Hi Sergey,

Here is what I am doing:
WebClient wc = WebClient.create("http://xxx.com/api/v1/tokens.json");
    wc.query("login", "jessicamontgomery");
    wc.query("password", "password");
    Credentials c = wc.accept("application/json").get(Credentials.class);

Credentials class is a pojo that contains all the getter/setters for all
keys in the json response I am getting from the service.

The Error I get is:
Nov 6, 2009 2:00:58 AM org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.client.AbstractClient
reportNoMessageHandler
SEVERE: .No message body reader found for class : class
gwy.flixster.pojo.Credentials, ContentType : {1}.

Do I need to define jsonprovider whe creating the webclient?

Thanks,
Sadhana

Is it a JAXB bean ?

If Credentials  is not a JAXB bean then JSONProvider will return false in isReadable()
Another thing to check what ContentType the target service sets on the response. You can do it with a tcp trace utilty (for ex,
assuming the target service is listening on "http://xxx.com:8080" then you update the client code to send a request to
"http://xxx.com:8081" and configure a tcptrace to redirect to "http://xxx.com:8081").

Another option is to configure a logging feature or logging in interceptor :

WebClient.getConfig(client).getInInterceptors().add(new LoggingInInterceptor())

> Do I need to define jsonprovider whe creating the webclient?

No, unless you'd like to configure the JSONProvider somehow. For example, if Credentials is not annotated with say @XmlRootElement
then you can configure JSONProvider with a property 'unmarshallAsJaxbElement' with a value 'true'.

Hi Sergey,

Thank you so much for your quick responses and elaborate replies.

Yes, I did put the XmlRootElement annotation for the class thought the
element name is null as I don't have a corresponding element in the json
response.

Thanks for the tip. I did find that Content-Type returned was
text/javascript instead of application/json. I tried text/javascript as
accept header but still get the same error.

Is there a way to specify configuration in Spring? Also how does
jaxrs:client configuration in Spring work for WebClient?

If I want to configure my own MessageBody Json reader for processing the

Thanks a lot....again!

Hi

You can update the incoming Content-Type in a couple of ways :
1. Configure JSONProvider to accept text/javascript and application/json
(set consumeTypes on it).
When registering JSONProvider from Spring you can do the way it's done
here :
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/trunk/systests/jaxrs/src/test/resour
ces/jaxrs/WEB-INF/beans.xml

See the 'jsonProvider' bean.

Or you can configure a JSONProvider from the code and register it using
one of the WebClient.create() methods

2. Register a custom CXF input interceptor (as shown below for
LoggingInInterceptor) and set a Message.ContentType property on the
message to application/json


> Is there a way to specify configuration in Spring? Also how does

jaxrs:client is a proxy based client created from spring and it is meant
to be injected into a client code. But you can also create and configure
a WebClient from Spring if needed but it will also have to be injected
into the code - is it what you'd like to do ?
For ex, if a jaxrs:client or WebClient bean created from spring has an
id 'client' then you can have a field (of type WebClient for ex)
annotated with @Resource("client") and Spring will inject this bean....

Please see above : either from code or from Spring

Hi Sergey,
Thanks very much again for your quick reply. I was able to get the correct
content-type set by creating the JsonProvider in the code and setting the
media types and using WebClient's create method to register the provider.

However, I am still not able to get the json parsed and stored in the
Credentials bean correctly. I get this error during parsing (which
unmarshaller should the JosnProvider use to unmarshall json?):

The json response from the service looks like this:

    "id": 157373130,
    "token":"xxxx......."
........
}

In the Credentails class I have:
@XmlRootElement(name="")
public class Credentials

  private String token;

....

Getter/setters defined.
}


Any idea why I am getting this exception? Which reader does actually do the
json unmarshalling?

Thanks much,
Sadhana

P.S. Thanks for the info on Spring configuration - I tried it but am running
into issues. I will try later after it is working without spring
configuration. I tried InInterceptor to change the content type but didn't
know how I will set it in the Message. I didn't see any methods to set the
values. Can you please give an example?

[Sergey Beryozkin-2]

Hi

It is a sequence without a root element, so you need to apply one extra
bit of configuration to the JSONProvider instance [1], wrapperName="",
given that you set XMlRootElement name to "". Perhaps it would make
sense to use @XmlRootElement and wrapperName="Credentials" ? If you have
not only Credentials but other classes to deal with then you may want to
use a wrapperMap property instead.

Updating the JSONProvider to handle custom consume types is a better
solution, but in case you'll need to use inInterceptors then you can
change the Content-Type like this

message.set(Message.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json");

Hope it helps, Sergey

Subject: Re: Is it possible to parse json response using JAXRS
WebClient?

Hi Sergey,
Thanks very much again for your quick reply. I was able to get the
correct
content-type set by creating the JsonProvider in the code and setting
the
media types and using WebClient's create method to register the
provider.

However, I am still not able to get the json parsed and stored in the
Credentials bean correctly. I get this error during parsing (which
unmarshaller should the JosnProvider use to unmarshall json?):

The json response from the service looks like this:
{
    "id": 157373130,
    "token":"xxxx......."
........
}

In the Credentails class I have:
@XmlRootElement(name="")
public class Credentials
{
  private String id;
  private String token;

....

Getter/setters defined.
}


Any idea why I am getting this exception? Which reader does actually do
the
json unmarshalling?

Thanks much,
Sadhana

P.S. Thanks for the info on Spring configuration - I tried it but am
running
into issues. I will try later after it is working without spring
configuration. I tried InInterceptor to change the content type but
didn't
know how I will set it in the Message. I didn't see any methods to set
the
values. Can you please give an example?

Hi Sergey,

Thank you very much. I think that will certainly help. I will give it a try.
One more question I have is is JsonProvider able to read json arrays? If I
have something like this:
[{"a","b"}, {"c", "d"}] will it be able to unmarshal to a java class that
declares a list inside it (of course after I add the wrapper element)?

Thanks again,
Sadhana

P.S. Please ignore my dup message as I didn't see my earlier message being
posted so resent it.

Hi Sergey,

message.set(Message.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json");

The set method doesn't seem to avaialble for Message. I Message I am using

Sadhana

it is a typo, should be

Hi Sadhana

Not in 2.2.4 but I hopw it will actually be possible on the trunk. When unmarshalling such a sequence into a JAXB bean, there're two
elements which are missing. For ex, "AllCredentials" (root) and the collection root, say 'list', assuming you hae something like

@XmllRootElement
public class AllCredentials {
  List<Credentials> list;
}

When using JSONProvider (which is JAXB-based), it is not possible to specify multiple wrapper names, say, "AllCredentials" and
"list", such that  "AllCredentials" actually wraps "list", but with the feature which I committed yesterday evening, it is (should
be) possible to achieve it

So to deserialize the above sequence, you'd need to add a wrapperName "list" (which is actually appended to the raw sequence), and
also set an 'inAppendElements' map property :

Collections.singletonMap("list", "AllCredentials")

key is the name of the element which the value has to be appended before (in this exampel : add "AllCredentials" before "list")

This should do it. Note that this feature is not documented yet and it is availbale only on the trunk/2.2.5-SNAPSHOT.

By the way, regarding your earlier issue, the info at

>> [1]
>> http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jax-rs.html#JAX-RS-WrappingandUnwrappingJSONs
>> equences


is incomplete, "supportUnwrapped" boolean property has to be set too...

I'll be working on documenting all the new updates in time for 2.2.5 and will fix the docs
