IS 480 need for testing the Cobra SOAP services

[john.g.m...@gmail.com]

I have started to implement the cobra soap service on the box in the
closet.
I need someone to test the add Post method.

The WSDL is at http://cobra:8080/webservice/thorss?wdsl
The end point is at http://cobra:8080/webservice/thorss

When I tried testing using the access libraries I got the following
error:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "" and then it lists
a buch of lines in files that I have no control over. But that doesn't
matter because I checked out the SOAP message that is going over the
wire

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>

I used Axis and I have successfully used, getAllCategories,
AuthorExists and Add Category.

when I try to use AddPost I use the following code:

GregorianCalendar postTime = new GregorianCalendar();
postTime.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());

stub.addPost("John Martinson", 4, "new funtionality", "new methods have
been added", postTime, "http://cobra.byui.edu");

>From what I can tell there is a slight problem in the Axis libraries,
so it would be helpfull if someone could use a different lib. to test
this. In the mean time I will continue to add the rest of the
functionality.

possible
