Screencast #WS2: Invoking a Web service using NetBeans IDE

[Troy Hicks]

This web cast contained just the information I needed.

This did not happen on Ubuntu (Hardy). The problem originally described was on CentOS 5.2.

Some how the original problem statement was cut off. It should have said:

This web cast contained just the information I needed. However, when I
apply the command line client example to my situation which has a BEA
webLogic server that requires authentication, NetBeans 6.5 is unable to
retrieve the WSDL. NetBeans does prompt me for a username and password, but
it never resolves. If I go to a browser on the same machine as NetBeans
those user/pass credentials work great. What might be the problem?
Thanks,
Troy

For what it's worth. I got around this issue by requiring NetBeans to read the WSDL from a file on the local file system. As a direct result of this workaround, I was not able to follow the web cast guidance fully to exploit the features of the IDE to automatically produce code that makes use of a WSDL service of choice. (This workaround or more accurately, an alternate approach, was required since the methodology the web cast notes for employing WSDL services is not possible if the WSDL cannot be fetched from a server.) This problem was specific to CentOS 5, as I had a Ubuntu (Hardy) machine that did not exhibit the problem.
