BPM-0704:Failed to send a SOAP message generated to

[Anon Anon]

Hi,

I am calling an external web service (Sharepoint) to create a new Sharepoint site. Please see my script and the error message I get. I have tried a few things checking related posts, but nothing seems to work. Just wanted to check if my script is ok? (the error message is given after the gel script)

To add to this, the URL that I am trying to hit in this SOAP call is NOT accessible from Clarity server, is that why I'm getting this error?

Yes ; that would be one reason why a script would generate that sort of error.

The GEL script runs "on" the server where the process-engine is running (usually your BG server). It runs "as" the user that is running the Clarity BG service. So if you logon interactively to that server as that user and can not connect to that URL, then the SOAP call in your GEL script will not be able to connect either.

[Anon Anon]

Thanks Dave, I will try to get the access and re-try my code.

[Anon Anon]

So I have given another try this time ensuring that even the "server" can access the URL. It wasn't an issue with the access as such, I had to append a specific string to the URL, to make it work. This is the changed URL. Note the difference. This can be accessed from the server too
http://centre.ourspace.int.corp.sun/it/is/ispteam/solutiondelivery/agile/_vti_bin/Meetings.asmx

Now, to the "user id" part of it (who is accessing). I noticed that the user id that has access to the server is, let's call it "xyz" but I am accessing Clarity using a different one. So what I have done now is manually create a "User" on the Clarity admin side with id = "xyz" and running the process logged in as "xyz" so to be sure that the "running at" and "running as" issues are sorted (hopefully so).

Now, I get this error

OK I think this might be a problem for you. :unsure:

The Clarity process is not running "as" a Clarity user (irrespective of what you do in the Clarity application). The process will be running "as" the operating system user who is running the BG process (I'm not even sure that this is your "xyz" user??) - and it will be running "as" that O/S user for all/any Clarity users that you may initiate that process as. Therefore if your "called web-service" has some element of authorisation based upon "who" is calling the web-service ; you will never be able to make that call "user-specific" (unless of course you can pass the "Clarity-user" to the web-service somehow).

[Eugene Greiff]

My guess is that SharePoint is configure to require authentication based on the HTTP Error: Status-Code: 401: Access denied.

You are going to need to determine the authentication method that your SharePoint site is using.

If it is set to basic authentication, you should be able to send the username and password in the soap header. If memory serves me right, think it looks something like this:

<soap:Header xmlns:share="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
< share:AUTHHEADER>
  < share:USERNAME>Administrator</ share:USERNAME>
  < share:PASSWORD>Password</ share:PASSWORD>
</ share:AUTHHEADER>
</soap:Header>

If it is set to forms mode authentication you are going to need to use the Login method in the Authentication.asmx web service to get your ASPXAUTH cookie.

This will be a challenge as you will need to include this cookie value in the request to the SOAP request header for the CreateMeeting method in the Meeting.asmx.

It doesn't appear that "com.niku.union.gel.SOAPTagLibrary” supports setting cookies.

You might want to try commons-jelly-tags-soap v1.0 which has a soap:invokeRaw method and might let you set the HTTP request headers to include the ASPXAUTH cookie.

V,r,
Gene

Hi Pankaj,

I have encountered this 500 Internal error earlier.
We assumed that WCF services might not be accessible from gel scripts. I suspect it is happening in your case.

To confirm, please access any other external web service which is not WCF and let us know.

Regards,
Ritesh

Thanks Ritesh, were you able to find any solution to this? Or was it unresolved

[Eugene Greiff]

If you use SOAPUI and enter your meeting.asmx, you should see that it support SOAP 1.1.

[Eugene Greiff]

Not sure but you might need the namespace for the AUTHEADER.

Thanks Gene, appreciate your continued assistance. Now I get this :-(

org.apache.commons.jelly.JellyTagException: null:14:215: <soap:invoke> Failed to send a SOAP message generated to 'http://centre.ourspace.int.corp.sun/it/is/ispteam/solutiondelivery/agile/_vti_bin/Meetings.asmx'.HTTP Error: Status-Code: 401: Unauthorized

[Eugene Greiff]

Does you Sharepoint require domain user logins?

If so, try adding the domain to your username.

<auth:USERNAME>my_user_id</auth:USERNAME>

to

<auth:USERNAME>my_domain\my_user_id</auth:USERNAME>

[Anon Anon]

Thanks all for your help, just fyi, we're working through the issues, I'm sure it's to do with some SP issues at our end too.

I'll surely post the final solution once we are through with this.
