How to deal with a method in a SOAP-Call and its parameters

Question

the API says I have to use the method "getStock" and following parameters: accessToken,company,itemNumber,commissionNumber. I wrote this code but it doesn't work.

    SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();
    //envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("sam", "http://samples.axis2.techdive.in");

    // SOAP Body
    SOAPBody soapBody = envelope.getBody();
    SOAPElement method = soapBody.addChildElement("getStock");
    SOAPElement firstParam = method.addChildElement("accessToken");
    firstParam.addTextNode("xxx");

    SOAPElement secondParam = method.addChildElement("company");
    secondParam.addTextNode("AS");

    SOAPElement thirdParam = method.addChildElement("itemNumber");
    thirdParam.addTextNode("020001");

    SOAPElement fourthParam = method.addChildElement("commissionNumber");
    fourthParam.addTextNode("0");

    soapMessage.saveChanges();

And what about the NamespaceDeclaration?

I get this error:

Response SOAP Message = ns2:Client Cannot find dispatch method for {}getStock Process finished with exit code 0

In order to specify the prefix and the name space, you can use a Qname object (import javax.xml.namespace.QName;) like this:

QName stockQname = new QName("http://your_namespace_uri.com",
                "getStock", "prefix");

Change the prefix to your actual prefix.

Change the namespace to your actual namespaceuri

I rewrote your code to use Qnames:

private static void test() throws SOAPException {

        MessageFactory factory = MessageFactory
                .newInstance(SOAPConstants.SOAP_1_1_PROTOCOL);
        SOAPMessage message = factory.createMessage();
        SOAPPart soapPart = message.getSOAPPart();

        SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();

        SOAPBody soapBody = envelope.getBody();

        QName stockQname = new QName("http://your_namespace_uri.com",
                "getStock", "prefix");
        SOAPBodyElement stockElement = soapBody.addBodyElement(stockQname);

        QName accessQname = new QName("accessToken");
        SOAPElement accessElement = stockElement.addChildElement(accessQname);
        accessElement.addTextNode("xxx");

        QName companyQname = new QName("company");
        SOAPElement companyElement = stockElement.addChildElement(companyQname);
        companyElement.addTextNode("AS");

        QName itemQname = new QName("itemNumber");
        SOAPElement itemElement = stockElement.addChildElement(itemQname);
        itemElement.addTextNode("020001");

        QName commisionQname = new QName("commissionNumber");
        SOAPElement commissionElement = stockElement
                .addChildElement(commisionQname);
        commissionElement.addTextNode("0");

        message.saveChanges();
}

And this is the generated SOAP message:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <SOAP-ENV:Header/>
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <prefix:getStock xmlns:prefix="http://your_namespace_uri.com">
      <accessToken>xxx</accessToken>
      <company>AS</company>
      <itemNumber>020001</itemNumber>
      <commissionNumber>0</commissionNumber>
    </prefix:getStock>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

I am using this SAAJ library

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj</groupId>
    <artifactId>saaj-impl</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.25</version>
</dependency>

If you want to use SOAP 1.2 message protocol, simply change this line:

MessageFactory factory = MessageFactory
                .newInstance(SOAPConstants.SOAP_1_1_PROTOCOL);

To this line:

MessageFactory factory = MessageFactory
                .newInstance(SOAPConstants.SOAP_1_2_PROTOCOL);

Hope this helps
