RE: SOAP + DODS

Hi Charles,

Have you checked your multiserver logs for additional info on the exception?
I'm not sure what kind of application you have written.  Is it a Web App (WAR)? 
Or is it a multiserver application, using presentation objects?

My only experience with SOAP has been with "GLUE".

DODS uses services provided by Enhydra.  So any thread of execution must be 
wrapped with Enhydra.register and Enydra.unregister calls when attemtpting to 
use DODS.  
Remember this must be done for each request. 

I looked at the StandAlone class you referred to in the archives. I've never 
used it,  but I believe that you will need to do something like this:

1.  When you initialize your app, or servlet.. 
    Instantiate your DodsStandaloneTest class.
    DodsStandaloneTest application = new DodsStandaloneTest(configFileName);

2.  Your SOAP methods will need access to the application variable, and must 
use it to register with Enhydra.  That way DODS can get access to the DB 
manager and other stuff it needs. Enhydra.register takes your current thread ID 
and stores it in a HashTable together with the application instance.  That way 
it can map DODS calls made by a thread, to the correct DB manager. 

Enydra.register(application);
try {
  run your DODS methods here...
} finally {
   Enhydra.unRegister();
}

Hope this helps, however I have not yet tried this.
Mike.

Subject: Enhydra: SOAP + DODS


Hey, I'm using Enhydra 5.0 and DODS and have recently set up SOAP on one of
our (my company's) servers. I have a service deployed and have written a
client which communicates with it. I believe it's set up correctly, as far
as what's talking to what and where -- if I specify a differing ID, it tells
me it is an unknown service, and if I alter the URL I get an
UnknownHostException. There seems to be one last piece from the puzzle
missing, however, since when I run my client I receive the following fault
code and string:

        SOAP-ENV:Server
        com/lutris/dods/builder/generator/query/QueryException

While browsing through this mailing list I found a DodsStandaloneTest class,
which I attempted to use by pointing it to the appropriate conf file on our
server, but to no effect -- perhaps I'm simply using it incorrectly.

Does anybody have an idea as to what might be my problem? Even a link to
some relevant information would be much appreciated. Thanks!
