trouble with calling FormsService through soap

[JavaJones]

Hello,
We have jboss and livecycle up and going on our server. Whenever we
call the services we get a page that looks like a sample page that
says here are some web services, and lists a couple of wsdls. However,
FormsService is not one of them. When we type in
http://servername/soap/services/FormsService we get a page not found
error.
What are we missing?

[JavaJones]

also when we hit http://servername/soap/services/FormsService?wsdl we
do get the xml back.

Have you tried using the Forms IVS to make sure the install is OK?
There is a blog post about it here:

Thanks we'll give this a whirl. But I have a feeling we are missing
something simple. If there are any other suggestions I'd appreciate
it.
Would there be a reason why we can run our application against the
service and yet not be able to pull anything up in a web browser?

Are you trying to call the FormService from a webservice java stub classes?

[JavaJones]

No we are calling the service through our C# app.

In our java web service call to the Forms Service,   we had to append blob=base64 to URL of the web service.

For example,    

// Use to get a proxy class for FormsService
    private java.lang.String FormsService_address = "http://servername:8080/soap/services/FormsService?blob=base64";

If we did not do this,  the document (rendered pdf) can back null.

Thanks Brad.
I have a question regarding setting up the livecycle server (jboss)
did you have to create a special place/invoke soap and services or did
this all get set up automatically when JBOSS was installed?

When you deploy the Livecycle ears on jboss, this exposes all the installed livecycle services as a web service.

 

The processes that you create in Process Management are also automatically exposed as well.

How are you trying to invoke the web service through a browser?.

In LiveCycle you can access the wsdl for web service through a url like http://servername/soap/services/FormsService?wsdl . From this wsdl you can create the stubs in language of your choice and then invoke the operation of that web service via the generated stubs.

If you would try to directly type in the above url in a browser you would get the wsdl displayed as xml document.

To invoke the web service you would have to POST data in soap format to a url like http://servername/soap/services/FormsService?blob=base64.
The stubs you generate internally convert your method calls into a POST request confirming to soap format.

When we type http://servername/soap/services/FormsService?wsdl we do
get information displayed. However if we are just hitting
http://servername/soap/services/FormsService we get a 404 error.
Shouldn't we at least get something?

You would get a 404 as the LiveCycle server do not respond to such GET requests for soap calls. To invoke it you would have to invoke it with message confirming to soap protocol. The easiest way to do that is through stubs.

Is there any specific thing you want to do for which you have to invoke it via a browser?

No we are just complete noobs that didn't know you couldn't do it that
way. Thank you all for your help.
