Hi,
I need to call a webscript form a Java WebService .

I have just solved it using the URLConnection Java class ,
but i don't want to parse the html respose  for getting the return values .

This is the code that i'm testing with the Javascript Debubber web script
because it require authentication :

package org.alfresco.sample.webservice;

import org.alfresco.webservice.repository.*;
import org.alfresco.webservice.types.*;
import org.alfresco.webservice.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import org.alfresco.webservice.util.*;

public class Call2 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
        throws Exception
    {
       AuthenticationUtils.startSession("admin","admin");
       String ticket=AuthenticationUtils.getTicket();
    
        try
        {   
           try
           {
              URL url= new URL("http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/javascript/debugger?alf_ticket='+ticket);
              
                URLConnection uc = url.openConnection();
                BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream()));
                String inputLine;

                while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) 
                    System.out.println(inputLine);
                in.close();
           }catch(IOException e) 
           { 
              System.out.println("Error"+e); 
           }           

        }
        finally
        {
            AuthenticationUtils.endSession();
        }
    }       
}
 ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and this is the html reponse :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head> 
    <title>Alfresco Javascript Debugger</title> 
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/alfresco/css/main.css" TYPE="text/css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="/alfresco/service/api/javascript/debugger" method="post">
        <input type="hidden" name="visible" value="true">
        <table>
          <tr>
            <td><img src="/alfresco/images/logo/AlfrescoLogo32.png" alt="Alfresco" /></td>
            <td><nobr><span class="mainTitle">Alfresco Javascript Debugger</span></nobr></td>
          </tr>
          <tr><td><td>Alfresco Community Network v2.1.0 (482)
          <tr><td><td>Currently disabled.
          <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Enable">
        </table>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

The question is:  if there exists another ways to do the same thing ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi

What's wrong with your current implementation? If you're having trouble parsing the response, then you could create an XML-output version of the web script you want to call, or even Json, plain text, etc.

Thanks,
Mike
