Question

Newbie question:

I’m new to groovy & soap , so I might be missing out on something here:

I’m trying to communicate with a very basic web service :

import groovy.net.soap.SoapClient
... 
def proxy = new SoapClient("http://soapclient.com/xml/soapresponder.wsdl")
res = proxy.Method1("ABC", "123");
println (res);

It seems the connection works , but when I try to invoke “Method1(..)” , I keep getting

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerHelper.getInstance()Lorg/codehaus/groovy/runtime/Invoker;
    at groovy.net.soap.SoapClient.invokeMethod(Unknown Source)

This is the relevant part of the WSDL:

<message name="Method1">
<part name="bstrParam1" type="xsd:string"/>
<part name="bstrParam2" type="xsd:string"/>
</message>
−
<message name="Method1Response">
<part name="bstrReturn" type="xsd:string"/>
</message>
−
<portType name="SoapResponderPortType">
−
<operation name="Method1" parameterOrder="bstrparam1 bstrparam2 return">
<input message="tns:Method1"/>
<output message="tns:Method1Response"/>
</operation>
</portType>

What am I doing wrong?

Well, it didn’t resolve , but I did move to GroovyWS and after a little dependencies hell ,it worked. See here
