Kevin Wright Trying to call a simple Apex Web Service method from Java
Hi Guys,
I am attempting to call a simple web service that I have written in Apex from a Java Program.
The steps I have taken so far.
1. Create a webservice method inside a global class. (compiles ok).
2. Generate wsdl files for both my WebService and the org.
3. Install Apache Axis
4. Use Axis to generate proxy stubs (runs ok - and generates Java source files.)
5. Compile All Java sources generated (all compile first time without changes).
6. Construct Client code (as shown below).
import com.sforce.soap.schemas._class.MyWebService.*;
import java.net.*;
public class TestCall{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("start of program");
try{
// SoapBindingStub binding = (SoapBindingStub) new SforceServiceLocator().getSoap();
MyWebServiceBindingStub stub =
new MyWebServiceBindingStub
(new URL("https://na1-api.salesforce.com/services/Soap/class/MyWebService"),null);
//com.sforce.soap.schemas._class.MyWebService.MyWebServicePortType pt =
// stub.getMyWebService();
System.out.println("about to make call");
stub.myMethod();
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("exception thrown");
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
7. The code above compiles fine.
8. On running I get:
INVALID_SESSION_ID: Invalid Session ID found in SessionHeader: Illegal Session.
Can you please tell me where I am going wrong. (While I still have some hair left to pull out please :) )
Thank you , in advance.
Kevin Wright.
SoapBindingStub should be available to you, it comes with both partner & enterprise wsdls.
Here is the fully qualified name of the classes.
com.sforce.soap.enterprise.SoapBindingStub
com.sforce.soap.partner.SoapBindingStub

You will need to make a Login call to Salesforce first.
Login results return by the login call will contain the SFURL and SFsession Id.
Above two values should be set in the header for the consuming the web-service hosted in the Salesforce.
Hi Prasanna,
In order to call the login method, I see I need a class called SoapBindingStub which I dont have on my classpath. Can you tell me which Jar file holds this?.

Hi Abhinav,
Yes you're right. I used the wrong org wsdl (apex instead of enterprise). This gets me a step further. At least I my call to
login compiles now...
A big thanks...

Can anyone please help.
Thanks in advance.....!!!!!
Please can anyone help me on this..
Can you post the final code here? I am interested in code that calls the custom web service method. Also can you provide what other codes you used to call the method?
