Here i am trying to read the list of sharepoint. For this i have done the following: I have downloaded the WSDL file which i got from The URL like: sharepointsite.com/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx?WSDL. and i have executed the following command to generate the classes in the directory “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin\wsimport.exe” -p com.microsoft.schemas.sharepoint.soap -keep -extension Lists.wsdl. Imported those classes in my eclipse IDE java application.
and i have written the following code
/* Creates a port connected to the SharePoint Web Service given.
* Authentication is done here. It also prints the authentication details
* in the console.
* @param userName SharePoint username
* @param password SharePoint password
* @return port ListsSoap port, connected with SharePoint
* @throws Exception in case of invalid parameters or connection error.
*/

((BindingProvider) port).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, userName);
((BindingProvider) port).getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, password);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new Exception("Error: " + e.toString());
}
} else {
throw new Exception("Couldn't authenticate: Invalid connection details given.");
}
return port;

I am getting following exception :
Web Service Auth Username: "domain\username" java.lang.Exception: Exception. See stacktrace.javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.
It would be helpfull if i get the specific exception from the server.With this expection i am unable to track my pgm.
I dont know where did i go wrong? am i missing anything ? any configuration is required ?
Thanks in advance for your help
