after licence key no more connection

[jos@devoon.nl]

I developed a connection to a webservice. This works fine in the development environment and as client on an application server. No Problem at all. Untill a valid licence key is submitted in the application server admin. After this the webservice is blocked for some reason and I cannot figure out why. Anyone any clues?
Thanks,
Jos

Do you get any errors in your log?

So you are using the RESTful webservices plugin to publish your own web service.
What kind of license exactly did you use? Which Servoy version did you use?

I don' get errorrs in my log.
We don't use a restfull webservice, but a regular SOAP (wsdl) webservice that has a service for our clients. The solution sends an xml package and receives xml packages.
The licence entered is just a regular user (servoy) licence that any of our customers have to enter when they want to use the software.

Hi Jos,

So you are using the http plugin to connect to the webservice and that stopped working after you entered a license key ? Or are you using other means to connect to this webservice.

Hi Robert,

The plugin we use is a custom made plugin that takes care of the security certificates and the soap envelope that are needed for several webservices that are developed and maintained by one software developer (avisi). So it is not the regular http plugin. Might this be a problem?
What does make it strange is that it all works perfect as long as there is no licence entered. This makes little sense to me. Why is entering a licence key changing this kind of behaviour?

thanks

HI Jos,

I guess it all depends on what that plugin uses on the Servoy side of things.
Perhaps your developer should get in direct contact with Servoy support and let them look at the source.

Hope this helps.

Yes, Robert is right, maybe you are using a license in your plugin by calling a headless client.

It would work when you don't provide a license because you have 5 "Community" client licenses in that case, vs how many client licenses when you input the license number?

[jos@devoon.nl]

I'm sure that there is no use of a headless client or anything else from Servoy. The licence entered is a 50 user licence anyway. So in our testenvironment this cannot give a limitation.
The plugin loads the security certificates needed to contact the webservice. After it establishes a secure conection it handles the soap envelope around the xml messages that must be send en received. It is all Java based.
I will contact the developer of this plugin and see what he says.

I checked on this with Jan Blok from Servoy and we found that it has to do with how original javacode treats https connections.
A https call made with 'java.net.URL ' can frustrate a second https-call made from the same java VM.
Jan gave this snippet as example:

Code: Select all

             URL url = new URL("https://www.website.com");
             HttpURLConnection conn =
(HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
             if (conn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK)
return true;
             conn.disconnect();

If the Servoy application server starts up with a licence key entered there is a https-call to Servoy to check that key. Then a next call to a https-url by another script (for instance our plugin) will be frustrated.
