Cisco AXL 8.5 WSDL Java Import TranslationPattern

Question

This question is very specific. If CUCM, AXL and SOAP doesn't tell you anything, there's no need to read further. Except you're interested.

Has anyone been successful at wsimporting the current WSDL file for Cisco AXL and supporting the AddTransPattern-Request? I'm talking about version 8.5 or "current" (as in Cisco UCM 8.6.2).

The import was successful, but adding a translation pattern doesn't work anymore.

I tested it by writing my SOAP request by hand, using soapUI in eclipse.

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://www.cisco.com/AXL/API/8.5">
    <soapenv:Header/>
    <soapenv:Body>
        <ns:addTransPattern sequence="?">
            <transPattern>
                <pattern>MYPATTERN</pattern>
                <description>MYDESCRIPTION</description>
                <routePartitionName>MYPARTITION</routePartitionName>
                <calledPartyTransformationMask>MYDESTINATION</calledPartyTransformationMask>
                <provideOutsideDialtone>false</provideOutsideDialtone>
                <callingSearchSpaceName>MYCALLINGSEARCHSPACE</callingSearchSpaceName>
            </transPattern>
        </ns:addTransPattern>
    </soapenv:Body>

The response is as follows:

           <axlcode>-391</axlcode>
           <axlmessage>Cannot insert a null into column (numplan.tkpatternusage).</axlmessage>
           <request>addTransPattern</request>

soapUI tells me that putting usage is optional. Even if I put a value for usage, e.g. <usage>3</usage>, it tells me the value wouldn't exist even though I know it does.

Any idea is appreciated

Answer 1

Finally, I figured out what was wrong.

The value for <usage> needs to be a string, like in this case Translation. Then it works without any problem.
