I've been searching the forums for examples of accessing a web service from a java app on the BB handset. People have included snippets, but nothing to help newbies understand what is needed. I have tried to follow examples using kSOAP2, but I get server-side errors that I don't see if I simply access the web service through a desktop browser.
I have tried to understand how to use the Sun Wireless toolkit to auto-generate stubs, but none of the tutorials I've found seem to be complete - they assume complete familiarity with the toolkit, which is new to me too.
When I have attempted to workout the gaps in these tutorials, the application errors anyway because the imports included in the auto-generated files aren't recognised:
import javax.xml.rpc.JAXRPCException;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.microedition.xml.rpc.Operation;
import javax.microedition.xml.rpc.Type;
import javax.microedition.xml.rpc.ComplexType;
import javax.microedition.xml.rpc.Element;
What are these, and do I need to replace them for BB equivalents?
Basically, what I've done is create a simple webservice called HelloWorld, that accepts one parameter. It then returns 'HelloWorld + parameter'.
I've then pointed the Sun Wireless toolkit stub generator to the WSDL, and imported the generated files in the BB JDE.
Then, I've run this code:
Service1Soap_Stub test = new Service1Soap_Stub();
try{
String str = test.helloWorld("This is my parameter");
System.out.println(str);
}catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println(ex.toString());
}
Is this correct??
Any help, advice, pointers, samples... anything would be much appreciated!
