Error in KSOAP Parsing :- java.lang.ClassCastException: org.ksoap2.SoapFault

android, java, ksoap

Solution

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));
    }

Problem

I have a little knowledge in ksoap Parsing. When i am parsing some data it gives Error : `java.lang.ClassCastException: org.ksoap2.SoapFault` I can see the response for that method in SoapUI but when i parsing that method in android it gives an error as like above. Here is Request parameter as input in SoapUI ``` <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/"> <soapenv:Header/> <soapenv:Body> <tem:SaveChangePasswordForExternalUser> <tem:userId>Test123</tem:userId> <!--Optional:--> <tem:oldPassword>TestTest</tem:oldPassword> <!--Optional:--> <tem:newPassword>Test</tem:newPassword> <!--Optional:--> <tem:retypedNewPassword>Test</tem:retypedNewPassword> </tem:SaveChangePasswordForExternalUser> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> ``` Here Is Response i got in SoapUI ``` <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <s:Body> <s:Fault> <faultcode xmlns:a="http://schemas.microsoft.com/net/2005/12/windowscommunicationfoundation/dispatcher">a:InternalServiceFault</faultcode> <faultstring xml:lang="en-US">Old Password was incorrectly entered. Remember that passwords are case-sensitive.</faultstring> <detail> <ExceptionDetail xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.ServiceModel" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <HelpLink i:nil="true"/> <InnerException i:nil="true"/> <Message>Old Password was incorrectly entered. Remember that passwords are case-sensitive.</Message> <Type>System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException</Type> </ExceptionDetail> </detail> </s:Fault> </s:Body> </s:Envelope> ``` This how i try to get the response by code in android ``` public void getData() { private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://tempuri.org/"; // private static final String URL = "http://173.203.136.194:99/LeaseWave.MobileApplication.Service/MobileApplicationService.svc/basic"; private static final String SOAP_ACTION = "http://tempuri.org/IMobileApplicationService/SaveChangePasswordForExternalUser"; private static final String METHOD_NAME = "SaveChangePasswordForExternalUser"; SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME); request.addProperty("userId", "Test123"); request.addProperty("oldPassword", "TestTest"); request.addProperty("newPassword", "Test"); request.addProperty("newPassword", "Test"); SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11); envelope.dotNet = true; envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request); HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL); try { androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope); SoapObject resultsRequestSOAP = (SoapObject) envelope.bodyIn; Log.i("Long...", "Response ------ "+resultsRequestSOAP); }catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } ``` but i don't get success in that. Anyone have any kind of hint or solution for this?
