Soap connection in java issue

folan

Hey

Im having a bit of a problem trying to get a soap client working.

I want to hit a site, and can do so using POSTER in firefox.

but my code doesnt work:

//host = WSDL location
public static SOAPMessage sendPOSTMessage( String host, SOAPMessage message ) {
        SOAPMessage response = null ;
        try {
            SOAPConnectionFactory sfc = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
            SOAPConnection connection = sfc.createConnection();

            URL endpoint = new URL(host) ;
            response = connection.call(message, endpoint);
        } catch (SOAPException|MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();  
        }
        return response ;
    }

this keeps returning a

Oct 05, 2012 2:53:10 PM com.sun.xml.internal.messaging.saaj.client.p2p.HttpSOAPConnection post
SEVERE: SAAJ0009: Message send failed.....
.....
Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

exception.

I've looked into my Firewall settings, checking the response manually, and dont know why this isnt working.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Have you tried connecting a debugger, or printing the content of the host string before attempting the call, in case the value is something other than what you expect? I would wonder if perhaps the wrong port or something is specified if it's timing out...
