Configuring SOAP Client for Axis2

This tutorial shows the way internet banking (or other “master front-end application”) developers integrate with PowerAuth Server.

Prerequisites For the Tutorial

• Running PowerAuth Server with available SOAP interface.
• Knowledge of web applications based on JAX-RS.
• Software: IDE, Application Server (Tomcat, Wildfly…)

Integration Manual

Add a Maven Dependency

To add a PowerAuth support in your application, add Maven dependency for PowerAuth SOAP client module in your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.getlime.security</groupId>
    <artifactId>powerauth-java-client-axis</artifactId>
    <version>${powerauth.version}</version>
</dependency>

Configure PowerAuth SOAP Service Client

In order to connect to the correct PowerAuth Server, you need to add following producer class:

@Dependent
public class PowerAuthBeanFactory {

    @Produces
    public PowerAuthServiceClient buildClient() {
        try {
            return new PowerAuthServiceClient("http://localhost:8080/powerauth-java-server/soap");
        } catch (AxisFault axisFault) {
            return null;
        }
    }

}

Make sure to set the correct path to the PowerAuth Server SOAP endpoint.

Setting Up Credentials

//TODO: Describe SOAP client WS-Security configuration

Note: For SOAP interface, PowerAuth Server uses WS-Security, UsernameToken validation (plain text password). The RESTful interface is secured using Basic HTTP Authentication (pre-emptive).

Using the PowerAuth SOAP Client

In order to use a PowerAuthServiceClient instance, you can easily @Inject it in your class, for example in your resource class, like this:

@Path(value = "ib/settings")
public class IBSettingsResource {

    @Inject
    private PowerAuthServiceClient powerAuthServiceClient;

    // ... Resource code

}

PowerAuth Protocol Compatibility

The SOAP client supports two versions of PowerAuth protocol:

• The version 3 methods are available as default implementation directly on the client class.
• You can access the version 2 specific methods using the v2() method in the client. This method will be deprecated in a future release.

You can access the WSDL files in following URLs:

• version 3: http://localhost:8080/powerauth-java-server/soap/serviceV3.wsdl
• version 2: http://localhost:8080/powerauth-java-server/soap/serviceV2.wsdl

Using the SOAP Service Client

In order to use SOAP service client, follow our generic SOAP client service documentation and read the reference manual.
