I’m attempting to connect to a webservice using JAX-WS which has a WSDL definition

0

I’m attempting to connect to a webservice using JAX-WS which has a WSDL definition that does not quite match the actual response received from the webservice. Basically, the WSDL indicates that all elements are part of the “urn:HPD_IncidentInterface_WS” namespace, but the actual response elements are in the “urn:Port” namespace. This causes JAX-WS to throw the following exception:

com.sun.xml.internal.ws.streaming.XMLStreamReaderException: unexpected
XML tag. expected:
{urn:HPD_IncidentInterface_WS}HelpDesk_QueryList_ServiceResponse but
found: {urn:Port}HelpDesk_QueryList_ServiceResponse

My plan to workaround this issue is to download the WSDL, modify it to match the namespace in the actual response, and then re-generate the JAX-WS code using wsimport. However, I’m having difficulty figuring out how to modify the WSDL so that the response namespace is correct. Based on what I’ve researched so far, it looks like I need to create a new WSDL file with a wsdl:definition that contains the urn:Port targetNamespace and then import it into the original WSDL file, but I’m can’t seem to get the syntax right. Can anyone help me to correct the WSDL to match the actual webservice response?

Here is a sample of the response which references the urn:Port namespace:

Thanks to the hint about SoapHandlers provided by Osw, I was able to solve the issue. Here was my fix in case anyone runs into anything similar:

1) Add a handler chain annotation to your main JAX-WS service class: @HandlerChain(file = "handlers.xml")

2) Add a handlers.xml file to your resources folder:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<handler-chains xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee">
    <handler-chain>
        <handler>
            <handler-class>com.sample.handlers.FixNamespaceHandler
            </handler-class>
        </handler>
    </handler-chain>
</handler-chains>

3) Add FixNamespaceHandler which replaces the incorrect namespace declarations with the correct ones:

public class FixNamespaceHandler implements SOAPHandler<SOAPMessageContext> {

    @Override
    public void close(MessageContext arg0) {
        // Do nothing
    }

    @Override
    public boolean handleFault(SOAPMessageContext arg0) {
        // Do nothing
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext smc) {
        Boolean outboundProperty = (Boolean) smc.get(MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY);

        if (!outboundProperty.booleanValue()) {
            try {
                SOAPBody soapBody = smc.getMessage().getSOAPBody();
                soapBody.removeNamespaceDeclaration("ns0");
                soapBody.addNamespaceDeclaration("s0", "urn:HPD_IncidentInterface_WS");
                SOAPElement oldElement = (SOAPElement) soapBody.getFirstChild();
                cloneToNewNamespace(oldElement, soapBody, "s0");
                soapBody.removeChild(oldElement);
            } catch (SOAPException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

    private void cloneToNewNamespace(Node nodeToRename, SOAPElement parentElement, String prefix) throws SOAPException {
        if (nodeToRename instanceof SOAPElement) {
            SOAPElement elementToRename = (SOAPElement) nodeToRename;
            SOAPElement newElement = parentElement.addChildElement(elementToRename.getElementName().getLocalName(), prefix);
            for (int index = 0; index < elementToRename.getChildNodes().getLength(); index++) {
                Node childNode = elementToRename.getChildNodes().item(index);
                cloneToNewNamespace(childNode, newElement, prefix);
            }
        } else {
            parentElement.addTextNode(nodeToRename.getNodeValue());
        }
    }

    @Override
    public Set<QName> getHeaders() {
        // Do nothing
        return null;
    }
}
