Requirement:

In many businesses application we might encountered a situation when we have to hand shake between AS Java servers with Web Sphere Message Broker.

Implementation:

We have to write below method to communicate between two servers.

Imports are as below:

import java.net.URL;

import java.net.URLConnection;

import java.net.URLStreamHandler;

import javax.xml.soap.SOAPException;

import javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage;

import javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnection;

import javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnectionFactory;

Method as below:

public static SOAPMessage SOAP_Connection_SAP(SOAPMessage message, String string_END_POINT){

            SOAPMessage reply = null;

            long begintime = -1;

            long endtime = -1;

            try {

                  SOAPConnection connection  = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance().createConnection();

                  URL endpoint = new URL(null, string_END_POINT,

               new URLStreamHandler() {

                  @Override

                  protected URLConnection openConnection(URL url) throws IOException {

                  URL target = new URL(url.toString());

                  URLConnection connection = target.openConnection();

                  // Connection settings

connection.setReadTimeout(1200000); // 20 mins

                  return(connection);

               }

            });

                  begintime=System.currentTimeMillis();

                  reply = connection.call(message, endpoint);

                  connection.close();

            }

            catch (IOException e) {

                  // TODO: handle exception

                  e.printStackTrace();

            }

            catch (UnsupportedOperationException e) {

                  // TODO Auto-generated catch block

                  e.printStackTrace();

            } catch (SOAPException e) {

                  // TODO Auto-generated catch block

                  e.printStackTrace();

            } catch (Exception e) {

                  // TODO Auto-generated catch block

                  e.printStackTrace();

            }

            finally{

                  endtime=System.currentTimeMillis();

            }

            return reply;

      }

So, from the application if we call the above method we will get a SOAP Message as response as well.
