Error when using Parameters in Worklight HTTP Adapter

Question

Using Worklight 6.2.0.0.

I'm trying to consume one of our corporate web services via Worklight's HTTP Adapter. I have the WSDL for the web service, and I used the "Discover Backend Services" tool to generate the adapter JavaScript and XML.

The web service has 2 input parameters and 3 output parameters, all strings.

When I come to invoke the procedure on the client, I'm doing this:

    var invocationData = {
        adapter : 'messageHandlerAdapter',
        procedure : 'messageHandlerService_messageHandler',
        parameters : ['a','b']
};

var invocationOptions = {
        onSuccess : messageHandlerSuccess,
        onFailure : messageHandlerFailure   
};  

WL.Client.invokeProcedure(invocationData,invocationOptions);

You can see the dummy parameters in the invocationData array. Running this results in the following error:

java.lang.String cannot be cast to org.mozilla.javascript.Scriptable

If I remove the parameters, I don't get an error and the web service call appears to be successful, but I don't get any response (obviously).

A search on the forums led me to this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23192346/class-cast-java-lang-string-cannot-be-cast-to-org-mozilla-javascript-scriptable Which is along the same lines, and the response was that there might be an invalid JSON object somewhere. However, all I've done is used the auto-generated adapter code and called it.

I'm very new to Worklight, so any advice is gratefully received!

Here is a link to a pic of the Service description in Project Explorer.

It's a corporate web service, so it's a bit on the sensitive side. I will post but will obscure the location. — Andy Smith
I've expanded the Service definition out. It's just 2 string input parameters. The HTTP adapter seems to want parameters to be JSON'd in the invocationData object, so I presume I've done that correctly? — Andy Smith
Is there an easy way to see the outbound SOAP message before it gets transmitted? — Andy Smith

Generally we pass XML to SOAP based web services. With the case to worklight we have to convert XML to JSON and pass it to adapter. Considering your input SOAP is like

<a>
   <b>value1</b>
   <c>value2</c>
</a>

Your JSON for above XML would be

 params= {
      a:{
          b:value1,
          c:value2
        }
     }

So u will have to pass above JSON as parameter

headers={
        "SOAPAction": "YOUR ACTION NAME"
    }

And so your adapter call will look like this,

var invocationData = {
        adapter : 'messageHandlerAdapter',
        procedure : 'messageHandlerService_messageHandler',
        parameters : [params,headers]
};

var invocationOptions = {
        onSuccess : messageHandlerSuccess,
        onFailure : messageHandlerFailure   
};  

WL.Client.invokeProcedure(invocationData,invocationOptions);
