webService not working with new RAM 7.2


Jain Jose (111) | asked May 20 '10, 7:51 a.m.
Hi I am not able to use the web services provided with the new version of RAM. Earlier with previous version of RAM (7.1.1.1), I was consuming the web services in my web application with out any problem.
Now with the new version, it is giving me SAXException while accessing the search feature.

Stacktrace is given at the end..

One thing I noticed - when we generate the client jars from wsdl, it creates jars which have different version from the ones available in ramclient jars.. Please help

Hi,

The web services are internal use only within RAM. They are not
supported API and can change at any time. They are different between
fixpacks.

The official API is RAMClient. That is the supported way to access RAM
problematically.

Hello,
Reiterating Rich's previous message that this is internal API subject to
change, it looks like you are not getting back SOAP responses - your
client is expecting XML and is getting back some other format (possibly
HTML)?

Can you please make sure you are pointing to the right endpoint
(http://server:port/ram.ws/RAMSecure/services/RAM1), or if you have a
firewall, or if you are not connected to the right network, etc.

Regards,
Srimanth.

Hi Rich,

Can I use RAMClient within a web application? Also any firewall restrictions will apply?.

Infact I tried to use RAMClient as a Java Application and it worked well. I included all jar files in RAMClient.zip in the build path.

But when I tried it with a web application(in WAS7.0), it was giving me

"Exception created : java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibm.ram.repository.web.ws.core.v72.RAM1ServiceLocator"

Here also I added all jar files in RAMClient.zip to the BuildPath of Web Application.

thanks

Hi Srimanth,
The service endpoint works fine, means when I am accessing it in browser,

"{http://core.ws.web.repository.ram.ibm.com}RAM1
Hi there, this is a Web service!"

is coming. Not sure if any other format is returned by the webservice.

thanks

Hi,

If you are in a separate web application from RAM then yes RAMClient
will work inside a web application.

However you must step up to 7.2.0.2. WAS 7 breaks RAM 7.2 GA.

With 7.2.0.2 if you are not using the trial license then you will also
require 7.2.0.2's test fix 2. If you are using the trial license then
this won't be necessary until you switch to an actual license.

Thanks,
Rich

Hello,
Though RAMClient will work, it is an internal class and subject to
change. If you have access to RAMClient, you should also have access to
RAMSession class, and that is the Java API RAM provides. It is highly
recommended you use RAMSession for support and code simplicity.

Additional documentation about RAMSession can be found in the product's
help:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ramhelp/v7r2m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.ram.doc/topics/t_using_api.html

Srimanth.
