I have web services running on Axis2 1.6 within JBoss AS 6.1 as WAR.
Suddenly
http://xxx.xx.xxx.xx:8080/axis2/services/listServices
fails to load in browser.
But,
http://xxx.xx.xxx.xx:8080/axis2/services/MyWebService?wsdl
loads as before.
I have two types of clients to the services.
One Android, the other .NET.
The former works fine, but the latter is not responding.
They all worked until yesterday.
I can't grasp what's going on.
Has anyone had the symptom like this?
<parameter name="hostname" locked="true">MY IP ADDRESS</parameter>
This can happen when you give wrong ip address at (MY IP ADDRESS).

I built a WCF service on a windows virtual machine, and tested it with the WCF test client by typing this on my browser:
http://localhost/Service1.svc/getAllCustomers
... and it works pretty good. Now the problem is that I want to do the same test in my real computer (not the VM).
I'm using XAMPP on the VM, I have set the project on the htdocs folder, and I type this on my browser:
http://10.211.55.3/WCFWebService/Service1.svc.cs/getAllCustomers
The problem is that it doesn't return the result of calling getAllCustomers, instead it returns the Service1.svc.cs in plain text.
I want it to do the same thing it does on the VM - can someone tell me what the problem is? I think it's because on the VM it works with the WCF test client, and since my computer is a Mac I can't run the WCF test client.
A WCF service can't run on an Apache web server instead you should install IIS Server on the VM in order to test the service.
Refer to this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733766.aspx
I found this with a Google query.
I kept the tab open, but continued exploring the other search results.
One I found particularly interesting was this one: WCF acting as Web Service without IIS
It appears WCF gives options other than IIS to host the web service (Console Application, Windows Application, Windows Services).
The Windows Service link is provided here: How to: Host a WCF Service in a Managed Windows Service
I have not done this, so I cannot elaborate on what problems you will run into.
I just want others that may run into this (like I did) to know that the one answer posted last year may not actually be the end of the road.
When using blazeds with apache tomcat, the rpc calls and push messaging system work. But when apache server is placed in front of apache tomcat, only the rpc calls work, the blazeds push messaging does not work. Hope someone has a fix to this and i would be glad if such person is willing to share his/her configuration set-up that worked.
Thanks in advance
Had exactly the same problem too and here is the gist. You are probably using the SteamingAmf. The Apache Server doesnt want you leaving a perpetual open connection to the underlying server and as such buffers your data.
To make everything work you will have to use the polling version. here is a smaple of the configuration you need to do in your services-config.xml
<channel-definition id="my-polling-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel">
<endpoint url="https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amfpolling" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint"/>
<properties>
<polling-enabled>true</polling-enabled>
<polling-interval-millis>0</polling-interval-millis>
<wait-interval-millis>60000</wait-interval-millis>
<client-wait-interval-millis>3000</client-wait-interval-millis>
<max-waiting-poll-requests>100</max-waiting-poll-requests>
</properties>
</channel-definition>
For the above configuration I am using https.
Configure your messaging-config.xml as follows
<destination id="DestinationID">
<channels>
<channel ref="my-polling-amf"/>
</channels>
<adapter ref="DestinationAdapter"/>
</destination>
This should work assuming that your original setup was working. Good luck.
I've got a working WCF service and a working Delphi client. On a normal PC, they work nicely. On a VM that's "Bridged" they work nicely if I log onto the domain (but not if I logon locally to the VM as administrator). If the VM is NATed, the connection attempt times out.
I would love to hear people's thoughts on what could be making such a difference to whether the client can successfully connect to the WCF service. Bear in mind I'm connecting with basicHttpBinding with no security.
The service is setup to use System Account (interact with desktop is NOT checked), and it starts automatically. The service URI doesn't change, the port is open, and can be telnet'd to in all scenarios.
Any ideas or pointers?
Within the VM, open Internet Explorer and verify that you can view the WSDL of the WCF service. If you can't, then your issue is connectivity and has nothing to do with your Delphi code.
Group Policies and Enterprise Security solutions that swap certificates or require certificates to be registered (we're using a UTM called CyberRoam) make a difference.
Also when Virtual Machines join a domain, their ComputerNames are added to a list maintained by the Domain Controller. When the same Virtual Machine is "moved" or "copied", its ComputerName should be changed to avoid DNS resolution issues.
I'm not claiming this as the definitive answer, however it does explain the issues I noticed in this instance.
So, I previously posted about my troubles in moving a working WCF service from my local machine to the development server. The problem was that when moving it over all of the references were by machine name rather than ip. Since i was not accessing it on the domain, I couldn't see the machine name and couldn't access the references. Here was my previous post (.NET WCF service references use server name rather than IP address causing issues when consuming).
I found a solution, but wanted to make sure that this is the proper solution to my issue. And also ask if anyone else had any other input? The solution was to change the IIS site binding. I found the solution at (http://blogs.msdn.com/wenlong/archive/2007/08/02/how-to-change-hostname-in-wsdl-of-an-iis-hosted-service.aspx). The only thing is that I may have to do this for every site as the application that i work with is not hosted and is a web-based solution installed at each site. So i'm possibly going to have to include a script in the build for each site.
I would think that I would be able to make this change in the .config file?
The right way to handle this is to set and explicit host-header in IIS for the Web Site instance. Now, assuming you've only got one host-header applied to the Web Site instance that should be all that you need. However, if you have multiple host-headers configured you will also need to explicitly tell WCF which host to expose itself via. This is done with the configuration element under the element to bind the service to that specific domain.
I've been trying to mug up on Glassfish and one thing that keeps coming up is the "how-to" on fronting Glassfish with Apache. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a description of why you would want to do this!
From my experimentation, Glassfish seems like a pretty fully featured web server-type service; but I might be missing a lot. So, is the notion of front-ending Glassfish more of a solution to integrate it with an existing architecture, or does front-ending (in a pure Java environment) provide extra benefits?
There's also another valid use case as to why we front Glassfish with Apache. Apache in this instance would function as a reverse proxy for increased security of your Glassfish. The RP is configured to allow only certain URLs to be passed through to the application server. For e.g., you may have app contexts /myApp and /myPrivApp deployed in Glassfish. In the RP server, you only configure /myApp to be passed to Glassfish. Anybody requesting for /myPrivApp would see a 404 'cos the request stops right at the RP level.
In one of my deployments, I have a bunch of WARs deployed, some for users coming from the internet, some for intranet only. I have 2 RPs running, one for internet users and the other for intranet. I configure the internet RP to only allow URLs for approved internet applications to pass through while intranet users get to see everything.
Hope that helps.
It is usually used to speed things up. Since apache is a very fast web server it is used to deliver static content. Like images, CSS files and so on. Glassfish serves the dynamic content (servlets, JSPs) in this scenario.
Another reason for using Apache as a frontend to Glassfish is the possibility to provide load balancing across a Glassfish cluster. See http://tiainen.sertik.net/2011/03/load-balancing-with-glassfish-31-and.html for details.
A other reason is that glassfish cannot run (easily) on port 80, without giving it root rights of course.
So, for most users it's easer to run a proxy (apache, nginx, varnish) some sort in front of apache and have both servers run under a normal user.
Then you have a other advantage of some configurations options of your front end. Like others mentioned, caching for example.
