Constructor Summary

AxisServlet()
create a new servlet instance

Method Summary

protected MessageContext	createMessageContext(AxisEngine engine, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse res) Place the Request message in the MessagContext object - notice that we just leave it as a 'ServletRequest' object and let the Message processing routine convert it - we don't do it since we don't know how it's going to be used - perhaps it might not even need to be parsed.
void	doGet(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response) Process GET requests.
void	doPost(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse res) Process a POST to the servlet by handing it off to the Axis Engine.
protected String	getDefaultJWSClassDir() Provided to allow overload of default JWSClassDir by derived class.
protected int	getHttpServletResponseStatus(AxisFault af) Extract information from AxisFault and map it to a HTTP Status code.
protected String	getJWSClassDir()
protected String	getProtocolVersion(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req) Return the HTTP protocol level 1.1 or 1.0 by derived class.
protected String	getServiceName(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request) Assumes that the service name is the first token in the path info
void	init() Initialization method.
protected void	invokeEndpointFromGet(MessageContext msgContext, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response, PrintWriter writer, String method, String args) invoke an endpoint from a get request by building an XML request and handing it down.
protected void	logException(Exception e) log any exception to our output log, at our chosen level
protected void	processAxisFault(AxisFault fault) routine called whenever an axis fault is caught; where they are logged and any other business.
protected void	processMethodRequest(MessageContext msgContext, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response, PrintWriter writer) scan through the request for parameters, invoking the endpoint if we get a method param.
protected void	processWsdlRequest(MessageContext msgContext, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response, PrintWriter writer) handle a ?wsdl request
protected void	reportAvailableServices(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response, PrintWriter writer, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request) This method lists the available services; it is called when there is nothing to execute on a GET
protected void	reportCantGetAxisService(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response, PrintWriter writer) generate the error response to indicate that there is apparently no endpoint there
protected void	reportCantGetJWSService(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response, PrintWriter writer) probe for a JWS page and report 'no service' if one is not found there
protected void	reportNoWSDL(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse res, PrintWriter writer, String moreDetailCode, AxisFault axisFault) report that we have no WSDL
protected void	reportServiceInfo(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response, PrintWriter writer, SOAPService service, String serviceName) print a snippet of service info.
protected void	reportTrouble(Exception exception, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response, PrintWriter writer) when we get an exception or an axis fault in a GET, we handle it almost identically: we go 'something went wrong', set the response code to 500 and then dump info.
protected void	setupHTMLResponseHeader(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response, PrintWriter writer)

Constructor Detail

AxisServlet

public AxisServlet()

create a new servlet instance

Method Detail

getJWSClassDir

protected String getJWSClassDir()

init

public void init()

Initialization method.

Overrides:

init in class AxisServletBase

doGet

public void doGet(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                  javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
           throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
                  IOException

Process GET requests. This includes handoff of pseudo-SOAP requests

Overrides:

doGet in class javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException

IOException

                             PrintWriter writer)

when we get an exception or an axis fault in a GET, we handle it almost identically: we go 'something went wrong', set the response code to 500 and then dump info. But we dump different info for an axis fault or subclass thereof.

Parameters:

exception - what went wrong

response - current response

writer - open writer to response

setupHTMLResponseHeader

protected void setupHTMLResponseHeader(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response,
                                       PrintWriter writer)

processAxisFault

protected void processAxisFault(AxisFault fault)

routine called whenever an axis fault is caught; where they are logged and any other business. The method may modify the fault in the process

Parameters:

fault - what went wrong.

logException

protected void logException(Exception e)

log any exception to our output log, at our chosen level

Parameters:

e - what went wrong

processMethodRequest

protected void processMethodRequest(MessageContext msgContext,
                                    javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,

                             throws AxisFault

scan through the request for parameters, invoking the endpoint if we get a method param. If there was no method param then the response is set to a 400 Bad Request and some error text

Parameters:

msgContext - current message

request - incoming requests

response - response to generate

writer - output stream

Throws:

AxisFault - if anything goes wrong during method execution

processWsdlRequest
