MediaBin WebServices Error

dvarnell

Hi All,

I'm trying to setup a Java Struts project that utilizes the MediaBin WebServices. I'm doing this in my development environment against a MediaBin 4.5 server. I'm using Rational Application Developer 6.0 as my IDE (formally IBM's WSAD). I've successfully installed WebServices on the MediaBin server and can run the sample MediaBin WebServices project that was supplied (it's a client side Java application and works fine.) In setting up my project I copied the connection code from the sample into my project. However when I try to make the connection I receive an error:

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.mediabin.www.MediaBinServerSoapStub

The following three lines are causing the casting issue:

org.apache.axis.client.Stub t = (org.apache.axis.client.Stub) myServiceStub;

((org.apache.axis.client.Stub) myServiceStub).setUsername(strUser);

((org.apache.axis.client.Stub) myServiceStub).setPassword(strPassword);

My question is why would this work within the client application but errors inside my Struts application? Below is the entire stack trace. I've attached my classes along with the classes from the sample project.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Donovan

Does your IDE use a different version of the Axis libraries than the MediaBin WebService SDK? If so, you may need to rebuild the stub classes.

Along those same lines, the Rational IDE may provide it's own proxy object generation tools (akin to Axis' WSDL2Java tool)that would allow you to rebuild the stub classes from the MediaBin webservice's WSDL.
