Invoking a process through webservices: Code

So I ran the installation and heres the basic code to invoke the process through its webservice endpoint.
Notice invoke_Async to invoke a long lived process asynchronously. I also had to make sure that i set the content type of the document that i was sending as a pdf. The classes are supplied when i create proxy classes from the webservice which is done through the Axis' WSDL2Java command. However, i learnt that Eclipse has a functionality that will automatically create the stubs for you based on a wsdl. Makes life alot easier.

 
public class ExpenseProcessInvokeWebService {

public static void main(String[] args){

try{



//create a service locator

ExpenseProcessServiceLocator locate = new ExpenseProcessServiceLocator();



//specify the service target URL and object type

URL serviceURL = new URL("http://yyzdev3:8080/soap/services/ExpenseProcess?blob=dime");



//Use the binding stub with the locator

ExpenseProcessSoapBindingStub expenseClientStub = new ExpenseProcessSoapBindingStub(serviceURL,locate);

expenseClientStub.setUsername("administrator");

expenseClientStub.setPassword("password");   



//Get the DIME Attachments - which is the PDF document to encrypt

java.io.File file = new java.io.File("/home/bileni/Documents/Livecycle/ExpenseProject/Form/expense19-8-2009.pdf");





//Create a DataHandler object

DataHandler buildFile = new DataHandler(new FileDataSource(file));



//Use the DataHandler object to create an AttachmentPart object

AttachmentPart part = new AttachmentPart(buildFile);



//part.setContentType("application/pdf");

part.setMimeHeader("Content-Type", "application/pdf");



System.out.println(part.getContentType());



//get the attachment ID

String attachmentID = part.getContentId();   



//Add the attachment to the encryption service stub

expenseClientStub.addAttachment(part);



//Inform ES where the attachment is stored by providing the attachment id

BLOB inDoc = new BLOB();

inDoc.setAttachmentID(attachmentID);

expenseClientStub.invoke_Async(1, null, inDoc);

} catch(Exception e){

e.printStackTrace();

}

}



}
