Authentication/OTAuthentication

Sean_Walker

I'm trying to get started using 971 les using the client guide.  I have generated the client proxies but nowhere do I have an Authentication or OTAuthentication  class.  Where am I going wrong>

Yes of course.  When you use wsimport the default service location will be whatever server you ran the wsimport command against.  So if you don't set the service endpoint when creating the service client it will default to that.  

 

You just need to change the endpoint of the service client to point it at a different location to talk with other servers.

 

Take a look at the LLTreeView sample for a complete code example.  On startup it asks you for the URL of the Authentication service which it then uses that server as the endpoint for each service client.

 

Here is a code snippet for creating the Authentication service client (taken directly from the LLTreeView sample):

 

 

 

public static Authentication getAuthenticationService( URL location ) throws Exception

{

    Authenticationendpoint;

 

    Authentication_Serviceservice = new Authentication_Service(location,new QName("urn:Core.service.livelink.opentext.com","Authentication" ) );

 

    endpoint = service.getBasicHttpBindingAuthentication();

 

    // force the service to use the specified URL, instead of the one defined in the WSDL

    ( (BindingProvider) endpoint ).getRequestContext().put( BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, location.toExternalForm() );

    ( (BindingProvider) endpoint ).getBinding().setHandlerChain(getHandlers());

 

    return endpoint;

}
