Could you please attach that error message ?

Marking INCOMPLETE as we do not have exact error message which appears yet.

thanks a lot for them

Should be fixed for 55.

Proposed dialog showing the certificate information

I've created a dialog asking user to accept the given certificate.
See the previous attachement.

Fixed.

Same error message

I am reopening since I am not getting any proposed diolog in the build 060921_1

This is a problem of JAX-RPC client only (client in J2EE1.4 project).
It should work in J2EE1.5 projects.

If you still need to create client in J2EE1.4, the workaround is to create a
"dummy" J2EE1.5 project, create the "mappoint" client there, then it should work
also for J2EE1.4 project. JVM will remember the credentials to access the
certified WSDL.

Nevertheless, I am looking for solution also for J2EE1.4 projects.

Would another possible workaround for this issue be to create the web service
client from local files? If so, the Enterprise Pack workaround would be to run
the retriever wizard first and then use the local files as input for the client
wizard. 

How often does it happen that the certificate is invalid? How big problem is
this in practice? Is this really a P2, or should we downgrade to P3?

Showing Certification dialog also for JAX-RPC client. See tha attachment.

The fix seems to be OK for me; feel free to commit it also to release55 branch
Thanks

log file

The wsdl file isn't accessible.
I cannot open that url in web browser.

Please, send me the proper URL, otherwise I'll close this issue.

This is the correct URL. When I type it in my browser , I get a security check
for the certificate. (see attached images). Select the second botton to accept
it temporarily.

Image of dialog that opens when typing url in browser

Created attachment 35073 [details]
browser opened with wsdl file

I cannot access that server. What is it about. 
My browser (Firefox) fails to open that wsdl.
I expect the certificate dialog to open but it doesn't.

I am behind the proxy.

First we need to access that wsdl outside the IDE (from a browser for example),
then we can investigate what's the problem.

From the log file messages: the wsdl url isn't accessible from IDE either. 

I got it, thank you.
The problem is in XML Retriever.
Looking for a fix.

Fixed.

Checking in URLResourceRetriever.java;
/cvs/xml/retriever/src/org/netbeans/modules/xml/retriever/Attic/URLResourceRetriever.java,v
 <--  URLResourceRetriever.java
new revision: 1.1.2.4.6.2; previous revision: 1.1.2.4.6.1

The problem was in URIResourceRetriever, specifically when secure wsdl
references relative file, e.g. (in this case) :
<wsdl:import location="parlayx_terminal_location_interface_2_0.wsdl"
namespace="http://www.csapi.org/wsdl/parlayx/terminal_location/v2_0/interface"/>

the accept() method returned false, since it didn't accept "https:" protocol.

The accept method is called with 2 string parameters (in this case):
- https://testgateway.pcslab.com/ParlayX2Web/services/TerminalLocation?wsdl
- parlayx_terminal_location_interface_2_0.wsdl

Reporter, or Re-Opener (Sigal Duek), please decide if this issue is really a
showstopper for you. If yes, we need to increase the priority (to P1) before
committing to release55 branch.

Priority increased to P1 since the Sprint Mobility IDE will be based on 5.5.
We will need this fix in order to access all Sprint web services.
TIA

Sigal, please, is that a common scenario for Sprint IDE that secure wsdl url is
redirected to another (secure) url?

Original issue reported here is fixed and v. in release55_dev branch. Merge the
fix also to release55 branch, please.
Thanks.

There's still one minor issue, filed as issue 86877, so let's discuss the rest
of this there.

Fix has been merged to release55 branch.
