addMessage via Web Services

[Olaf Keding, geändert vor 15 Jahren.]

Hi,

I am developing an application which makes a lot of use of the Liferay SOAP Web Services, using the Web Services Client Java Stubs for Liferay Services (download form liferay.com)

So far, it has gone pretty well, I have been able to add users and access all kind of information. When it comes to to using the MB_MBMessageService "addMessage" function, however, I get the following error using both my client and SoapUI:

{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException faultSubcode:
 faultString: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Bad types (boolean -> double)
faultActor: faultNode: faultDetail: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}hostname:itab2e01 
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Bad types (boolean -> double)

My Code is as follows:

 public boolean addComment(long threadId, String body){
    
        Portlet_MB_MBMessageServiceSoapBindingStub ms = this.connectMessageService();
        ms.setUsername(actingUserId);
        ms.setPassword(actingUserPassword);
        
        long categoryId = 0;
        String subject = "N/A";
        Object[] files = {};
        boolean annonymous = false;
        double priority = Double.valueOf(0.00);
        String[] tagEntries ={};
        boolean addCommunityPermission = false;
        boolean addGuestPermission = false;
      
        try {
            ms.addMessage(categoryId, subject, body, files, annonymous, priority, 
            tagEntries, addCommunityPermission, addGuestPermission);
            return true;
        } catch (RemoteException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(Client.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            return false;
			}
	}

the "addMessage" method takes the following arguments:

public MBMessageSoap addMessage(long categoryId, long threadId,
long parentMessageId, String subject, String body, Object[] files, boolean anonymous, 
double priority, String[] tagsEntries, boolean addCommunityPermissions, boolean
addGuestPermissions) 

I have tried everything and searched the web high and low without result, so I hope someone here can help me out.

Maybe via SOAP?
Something like this

public static boolean addComment(long threadId, String body)
			throws AxisFault {

		MBMessageServiceSoapServiceLocator resourceServiceSoapServiceLocator = 
new MBMessageServiceSoapServiceLocator();

		try {
			MBMessageServiceSoap serviceSoap;

			serviceSoap = resourceServiceSoapServiceLocator
					.getPortlet_MB_MBMessageService(_getURL("Portlet_MB_MBMessageService"));

			long categoryId = 0;
			String subject = "N/A";
			Object[] files = {};
			boolean annonymous = false;
			double priority = Double.valueOf(0.00);
			String[] tagEntries = {};
			boolean addCommunityPermission = false;
			boolean addGuestPermission = false;

			serviceSoap.addMessage(categoryId, subject, body, files,
					annonymous, priority, tagEntries, addCommunityPermission,
					addGuestPermission);
			return true;

		} catch (ServiceException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (RemoteException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} 
		
		
		return false;
		

	}

Hi Mark,

thanks for the quick answer. Your post did not help me any further though, the problen lies not in the way I connect to the webservice. I use my own method (this.connectMessageService();) I can use the MB_MessageService perfectly well for getting Messages.

The method looks like this:

private Portlet_MB_MBMessageServiceSoapBindingStub connectMessageService(){
        try {
            String serviceName = "Portlet_MB_MBMessageService";
            String bindUrl = baseUrl+serviceName;
            MBMessageServiceSoapServiceLocator messageSoap
            = new MBMessageServiceSoapServiceLocator();
            messageSoap.setPortlet_MB_MBMessageServiceEndpointAddress(bindUrl);

            Portlet_MB_MBMessageServiceSoapBindingStub messageService;
            messageService = new Portlet_MB_MBMessageServiceSoapBindingStub();
            
                try {
                messageService = (Portlet_MB_MBMessageServiceSoapBindingStub) 
                 messageSoap.getPortlet_MB_MBMessageService();
                return messageService;
            
                } catch (ServiceException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(Client.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
                System.out.println("Probleme beim Verbinden mit dem Message Service");
                return null;
                }
                  
            }catch (AxisFault ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(Client.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            System.out.println("Probleme beim kreieren des Message Service Service");
            return null;
            }
        }

I reckon the probelm is rather that the axis deserializer thinks that the double priority is a boolean for some weird reason.
Or am I on the wrong track here?

It can't be authentication or user rights because I use the super-adim credentials ([e-mail]) and as I said, adding a user has not been a problem.

Did you find Soulation? I am having same issue.

Hi Dipesh,

I did not find any, but the solution would be to write your own, non-buggy, MessageService, check out this thread:

http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/1566803

I just used an ugly work-around to add messages though cause I didn't have the time to go too deep into Liferay code...

regards,
Olaf

I am using addMessage and for the 'priority' parameter I pass only zero.
It is working for me.

It goes like this addMessage(<other params>, 0, <other params>);
