Interface ServiceControl

public interface ServiceControl

Provides simplified access to web services. A Web Service control provides an interface between your application and a web service, which allows your application to invoke the methods and handle the callbacks of that web service. Using a Web Service control, you can connect to any web service for which a WSDL file is available. The target web service's operations are exposed as methods of the control.

Nested Class Summary

static interface	ServiceControl.Conversation The Conversation annotation specifies the conversational phase of the method.
static interface	ServiceControl.HttpSoapProtocol The HttpSoapProtocol annotation specifies that a particular Web Service control supports SOAP over HTTP.
static interface	ServiceControl.Location The Location annotation provides the location URL for target service.
static interface	ServiceControl.OperationName The OperationName annotation is only used when the target WSDL defines operations with names that are invalid as Java method names.
static interface	ServiceControl.SOAPBinding The SOAPBinding annotation indicates the SOAP style, use, and wrapped attributes.
static interface	ServiceControl.TypesJarName The TypesJarName annotation is an optional annotation indicating the path to the jar containing the complex types.
static interface	ServiceControl.WSDL The WSDL annotation specifies the path to the WSDL file.

Method Detail

getConversationID

public String getConversationID()

Retrieves the conversation ID of the current conversation with this Web Service control instance.

Returns:

The conversation ID for this Service control's current conversation.

getEndPoint

public URL getEndPoint()

Gets the URL that the Service control instance will use as the base URL.

Returns:

The URL that will be used.

getInputHeaders

public Element[] getInputHeaders()

Retrieves the SOAP headers that were included in the most recent arriving callback from this Web Service control.

Returns:

An array of the SOAP input header elements for this control's most recently receive callback.

getPassword

public String getPassword()

Retrieves the password string that was set by the most recent call to the setPassword method.

Returns:

The password set by the setPassword method.

getProtocol

public weblogic.wsee.jws.Protocol getProtocol()

Deprecated.

Returns a Protocol object representing the protocol to use when sending messages to the target web service.

Returns:

The protocol that will be used.

getTimeout

public int getTimeout()

Gets the timeout that has been set by setTimeout() for the underlying HttpURLConnection, in milliseconds. A value of 0 means no timeout.

getUsername

public String getUsername()

Retrieves the username string that was set by the most recent call to setUsername.

Returns:

The username set by the setUsername method.

getWsdlPort

public QName getWsdlPort()

Returns the QName of the port that will be used by the Service Control to call the webservice.

Returns:

The QName of the port that will be used.

reset

public void reset()

Clears all parameters that were set by previous calls to the setOutputHeaders, setPassword, or setUsername methods.

setClientCert

public void setClientCert(String alias,
                          String password)

Specifies the information to look up the client certificate when using 2-way SSL.

Parameters:

alias - The path to the keystore (JKS) file.

password - The password for the keystore.

setConversationID

public void setConversationID(String conversationID)

Sets the unique key that will be proposed as the conversation ID when initiating a conversation with the Web Service control. Note that WebLogic Server automatically computes a conversation ID when a web service invokes a start method of a Web Service control. Use the setConversationID method to override the automatic value. The only case where it is useful to do so is if you supply the conversation ID of an existing conversation that is currently ongoing on the target web service. You may then invoke methods on the target service that will execute in the context of the specified conversation. However, only the client that originated the conversation may receive callbacks.

Parameters:

conversationID - The new value for the conversation ID.

setEndPoint

public void setEndPoint(URL url)

Provides manual control over URL of the target service.

Parameters:

url - The new destination for callbacks.

setKeystore

public void setKeystore(String location,
                        String password,
                        String type)

Specifies the keystore information (including type) to use when using client-certificates with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The default keystore is the WebLogic Server system-identity keystore. Use the type parameters to specify a keystore type other than the default, which is Java KeyStore (JKS).

Parameters:

location - The path to the keystore (JKS) file.

password - The password for the keystore.

type - The type of keystore to use.

setOutputHeaders

public void setOutputHeaders(Element[] headers)

Sets the SOAP headers that will be included in the next outgoing method invocation message to the Web Service control.

Parameters:

headers - An array of the new SOAP output header elements.

setPassword

public void setPassword(String password)

Sets the password that will be sent with the next outgoing Web Service control method invocation. Used if the Web Service control uses HTTP basic authentication.

Parameters:

password - The password to send for authentication.

setProtocol

public void setProtocol(weblogic.wsee.jws.Protocol protocol)

Deprecated.

Specifies the protocol to use for messages sent to the target web service.

Parameters:

protocol - The protocol to use.

setTimeout

public void setTimeout(int timeout)

Sets the timeout for the underlying HttpURLConnection in milliseconds. The default is 0, meaning no timeout. Negative values are converted to 0.

setTruststore

public void setTruststore(String location,
                          String password,
                          String type)

Set the trust-store to use to validate the server using SSL.

Parameters:

location - The file path to the trust-store file.

password - The trust-store password.

type - The type of trust-store. Default is JKS.

setUsername

public void setUsername(String username)

Sets the username that will be sent with the next outgoing Web Service control method invocation. Used if the Web Service control uses HTTP basic authentication.

Parameters:

username - The username to send for authentication.

setWsdlPort

public void setWsdlPort(QName wsdlPortName)

Specifies the QName for the port within the WSDL which the Service Control should use.

Parameters:

wsdlPortName - The QName of the port to use.

useClientKeySSL

public void useClientKeySSL(boolean b)

Specifies whether a client certificate should be used with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

Parameters:

b - true to use a client certificate; otherwise, false.
