Well, it's hard to give you some help due to the fact that there are a million and one SOAP client libraries for Java.
I personally have used the Apache Axis library and I've had good luck with it.
However, now that JEE 5 has been out for a while, I'd look into using that long with one of their java.xml.* classes.

Yes I know there are million soap clients. I am using Axis but y have some problems in login. Please if you have some examples you can help me.
Zimbra CRM has examples and his own api for soap client, I thought sugar has something like this

Sugar does have examples in the Wiki but it's by using the PHP NuSoap client.

Hello leandro20,

What kind of problems are you having? Is the SOAP message not going through, or is Sugar returning an error message? If you see any error messages, either from your application or from Sugar, please post them.

Thanks,

How can I work with complexTypes? I did something like this using Axis from java

Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
String username = "test";
String pass = "test";
String v = "0.1";
UserAuth auth = new UserAuth(username, pass, v);

call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new java.net.URL(endpoint));

call.setOperationName("login");

call.registerTypeMapping(UserAuth.class, UserAuth.QNAME,
new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory (
UserAuth.class, UserAuth.QNAME),
new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFacto ry(
UserAuth.class, UserAuth.QNAME));

call.addParameter("user_auth", UserAuth.QNAME, ParameterMode.IN);
call.addParameter("application_name", XMLType.XSD_STRING,
ParameterMode.IN);

This is for login service. UserAuth is a simple class with those attributes and his getterss and setters.
That is ok? I have to do something similir with complexTypes of the results?

I have this exception java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: index.php?module=Users&action=SetTimezone

Hello leandro20,

I'm not 100% how to work with complex types, as I'm not familiar with Java, but I can address the error you're seeing. Try connecting to your Sugar server /soap.php?wsdl instead of something like /index.php. The URL should look something like:

http://www.example.com/sugar/soap.php?wsdl

For the complex types... PHP works with them as an array-- is there something similar you can construct in Java? You should be able to find a generic example of SOAP complex types with Java through google.

First of all, I found that you do not have to use call.invoke() to talk to SugarCRM. Instead, you can use login() and many other higher level methods, which are generated by the Axis package.

com.bizsoln.sugarcrm.Sugarsoap service = new com.bizsoln.sugarcrm.SugarsoapLocator();
com.bizsoln.sugarcrm.SugarsoapPortType port = service.getsugarsoapPort(

new java.net.URL("http://localhost/sugarcrm/soap.php" ) );

com.bizsoln.sugarcrm.User_auth userAuth = new com.bizsoln.sugarcrm.User_auth();
userAuth.setUser_name("myUserId");
userAuth.setPassword(Secure.getDigest("myPassword" ));
userAuth.setVersion("0.1");
com.bizsoln.sugarcrm.Set_entry_result loginRes = port.login(userAuth, "myAppName");

System.out.println(loginRes + "; rc=" + loginRes.getError().getNumber());

The Java classes can be generated with the following command on Windows:

@set AXISDIR="D:\home\spoon\pj\axis"
@set CLASSPATH=%AXISDIR%\axis.jar
@set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXISDIR%\axis-ant.jar
@set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXISDIR%\commons-discovery.jar
@set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXISDIR%\commons-logging.jar
@set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXISDIR%\jaxrpc.jar
@set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXISDIR%\log4j-1.2.8.jar
@set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXISDIR%\saaj.jar
@set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%AXISDIR%\wsdl4j.jar
java -cp %CLASSPATH% org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java -o . -d Session -p com.bizsoln.sugarcrm soap.php.xml

where soap.php.xml is downloaded from http://localhost/sugarcrm/soap.php?wsdl

In addition to UserAuth class you mentioend, other complex types that the web services accept are also generated with the above command. Please look around the generated classes.

Good luck!
