Hey,

I have been testing an application which calls a web-service on the 8703e simulator.
The application works and I see blue arrows in the top right corner of the screen when the request is sent.

When I transfer my application to the actual blackberry though, I don't see no arrows and the application just waits (no exceptions, nothing).
When I look at the server log I don't see any connection attempt.

I'm on a BES (I have a company blackberry) and set all authorization for the application in the blackberry.

Any idea?

Duplicate the problem, then pull the system event log from the BlackBerry device.

After further investigation (with you ), I realized that the call() times out.

Here is the code

 String result = "";
        SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, "WS");
        SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);

        request.addProperty("username", "x");
        envelope.bodyOut = request;
        //envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
        try {
            HttpTransport ht = new HttpTransport(SERVER);
            ht.call(null, envelope); // THIS IS GENERATING THE EXCEPTION
            result = (envelope. getResponse()).toString();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            result = "<Exception>Could not connect to " + user.getUrl() + "</Exception>";

So my question remains, since this works on the simulator, why isn't ht.call() working on the device?

[Dougsg38p]

what is the exception?

[yann247]

IOException, after a looooooong time out (while on the simulator it's pretty quick)

[yann247]

Actually I was wrong, it's a XmlPullParserException.
After the exception I looked with the debugged and the BodyIn of th enveloppe is Null

[yann247]

I looked at the message and here it is:
org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: unexpected type (position:TEXT Connection refus...@1:36 in java.io.InputStreamReader@f0318cd6)

any idea anyone?

[yann247]

I managed to get the full msg after dumping the SOAP response:

Connection refused 1xx.xx.xx.xx:8080

how come it does not get refused with the simulator?

[yann247]

Since it's working on the simulator (with the simulated BES) I figure that is where the problemis coming from.

Do you have any idea which settings I can change to "allow" this connection? I've never used a BES configuration tool so I have no idea how to change any setting.

Any input is appreciated.

Does your firewall allow port 8080?

Better check with your admin. Your dev machine is probably "inside" the firewall.
