Android - org.ksoap2.soapfault cannot be cast

Question

I'm trying to access a Java Web Service from Android client, but it is showing me an error:

"java.lang.classcastexception org.ksoap2.soapfault cannot be cast to org.ksoap2.serialization.soapobject"

Can you help me?

Here is my client web service code:

import java.lang.reflect.Method;

import android.widget.TextView;

import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapObject;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.transport.AndroidHttpTransport;
import org.ksoap2.transport.HttpTransportSE;

    String raforn = ura.getText().toString();

    SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);


    request.addProperty("raforn",ura.getText().toString());

    SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);

    envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);


try{

    HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);

    androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);

    SoapObject sp = (SoapObject)envelope.bodyIn;

    String result=sp.toString();

    if(result.equals("1"))

            {

Answer 1

That's means there is no service found by those parameters try this code to find the error message :

SoapFault error = (SoapFault)envelope.bodyIn;
System.out.println("Error message : "+error.toString());

in my opinion you must fill the SOAP_ACTION parameter by the class that include the service with the package name :

private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "http://com.mycompany.wsproj/HelloWorld";

and end the URL of the web service by .wsdl or ?wsdl ( try them both xD )

private static final String URL = "http://localhost:8084/wsproj/HelloWorld?wsdl";

one last important thing is (when you are using android API ) change the localhost by the IP :

private static final String URL = "http://10.0.2.2:8084/wsproj/HelloWorld?wsdl";

Hope that helps you !! ... good luck !

Answer 2

when you are dealing with SOAP Web Service, This problem may come some time. The response coming from the service can either be a SOAP Object and if something goes wrong like wrong credentials passed then Response comes with error message and it's a SOAPFAULT Object. So update your code of parsing to check the type of the response object.

This sort of code can solve your problem,

if (envelope.bodyIn instanceof SoapFault) {
    String str= ((SoapFault) envelope.bodyIn).faultstring;
    Log.i("", str);

    // Another way to travers through the SoapFault object
/*  Node detailsString =str= ((SoapFault) envelope.bodyIn).detail; 
    Element detailElem = (Element) details.getElement(0) 
                 .getChild(0); 
    Element e = (Element) detailElem.getChild(2);faultstring; 
    Log.i("", e.getName() + " " + e.getText(0)str); */
} else {
    SoapObject resultsRequestSOAP = (SoapObject) envelope.bodyIn;
    Log.d("WS", String.valueOf(resultsRequestSOAP));
}
