Hi All,

I have created web service connector in CAF by selecting hybrid method, if i refresh giving below message, if i change Authentication method =1 and username and password from binding and publsih it is giving results back from webservice, i need to use Hybrid authentication.

n CAF Application Runtime configuration-under UI project-Environment entries contains
wsclient-socketTimeout java.lang.Integer 10000
wsclient-endpointAddress java.lang.String http://is:portnumber/ws
wsclient-requiresAuth java.lang.Boolean true
wsclient-authMethod java.lang.String 3

2011-05-10 16:23:28 GMT+02:00 (jsf:ERROR) [RID:677] - Action phase of the portlet failed (INVOKE_APPLICATION 5)

Thanks for including the stack trace. The NPE in the AuthCredentials object is causing the challenge, but that NPE shouldn’t be occurring if the WSClient library was properly initialized. The WSClient library is always initialized by MWS during its start up, so that’s the first place for us to examine.

I have some questions:

• Is this an upgraded server?
• What version of MWS is this running on?
• Have you ever made any modifications to the phaseProvider.xml config file?

Regards,

Hi Mimel,

it is not upgraded server, version is given below, i have not made any chnages in phaseProvider.xml file but only one CAF project am getting problem, in this project am passing athentication method 1 and user and password in data binding for all web service connector, if i change authetication method to 3 for any web service connector and publish it , it throwing below error.

Version: 8.0.2.0.192
Build Date: 2011-04-13
Installed Fixes: MWS_8.0_SP2_Fix8

Regards,
Anil Kumar ellendula

You will need to file a Support Incident. Thanks for providing the additional info.
