  • 0

Problem :

I’m calling a SOAP Webservice, but need to change the URL with each call. However, the end point within the wsdl was an internal address, so I am trying to edit the endpoint myself. Assuming this is the correct thing to do (?), I get java.io.IOException: Illegal Protocol https for HTTP URLConnection Factory which I am struggling to resolve.

Code :

    OtherCompanyWebService ws = new OtherCompanyWebService();
    OtherCompanyWebServicePortType port = ws.getOtherCompanyWebServiceHttpSoap11Endpoint();
    ServiceRequest serviceRequest = makeMyServiceRequest();

    BindingProvider bindingProvider = (BindingProvider) port;
    bindingProvider.getRequestContext().put(
                  BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY,
                  "https://blah.blah.com/blah/services/blahWebService.blahWebServiceHttpSoap11Endpoint");

    Staff staff = port.getStaffData(serviceRequest).getStaff().getValue();

Stacktrace : 

javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Could not send Message.

    The solution I have found is far from ideal, but appears to work. If you have a better solution, please post it here.

    The problem was that in the wsdl file, the endpoint was http. The error occurs because I’m changing the endpoint to be https. (Possibly this is a bug?)

    To get round this, I am using a local version of the wsdl file, and putting in two endpoints, one http and one https. Then when I change the endpoint, I either change the http one or the https one, depending on whether I want http or https.
