I created a soap client with wsimport and a given wsdl. I also used SoapUI to test the service. Using SoapUI I had no problem but when using my Java client I get
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
The default values I have in the requestContext are as follows
com.sun.xml.internal.ws.connect.timeout=100000
javax.xml.ws.service.endpoint.address=[fully qualified domain name endpoint]
com.sun.xml.internal.ws.request.timeout=100000
javax.xml.ws.soap.http.soapaction.use=null
com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ContentNegotiation=none
javax.xml.ws.soap.http.soapaction.uri=null
I've tried increasing the timeout but it still doesn't connect.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
The problem was I was behind a proxy. I did different tests and found that using a web browser (or SoapUI) I was able to access the resource but from the command line it wasn't working.
After much searching, it was a simple fix: either passing the property as a jvm argument or manually setting it in the code with System.setProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies", "true"). The JVM wasn't using the proxy on its own.
EDIT
As I used wsimport I have a jax-ws client. It's important that proxy settings be configured prior to instantiantion.
ANOTHER EDIT
If by chance you're having problems and you're using an application server to make the soap request through the proxy, you may have to specify java.net.useSystemProxies=true (or similar) in the server's configuration--for example catalina.properties if using tomcat.
