Technical Schemas for Secured Web Services
The web services listed below this point are secured and require authentication. Security is provided via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), so businesses and consumers can rest assured that their credentials will remain secure.
With our secured web services, the username and password are sent in the SOAP header of a request SOAP message.
Following is a sample SOAP header. The "xmlns:sen" portion of the header (underlined below) will vary with the service invoked. The body of the request may vary also depending on the request.
If your client invokes SSL services, you may receive the message "unable to find valid certification path to requested target." If so, please refer to this solution.
Sample SOAP header:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:sen="https://webservices.averittexpress.com/SendWebImageService">
<soapenv:Header xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<ns:authnHeader soapenv:mustUnderstand="0"
xmlns:ns="http://webservices.averittexpress.com/authn">
<Username>xxxxxxxx</Username>
<Password>xxxxxxxx</Password>
</ns:authnHeader>
</soapenv:Header>
LTLPrivateTrackingServiceLocator loc = new LTLPrivateTrackingServiceLocator();
LTLPrivateTracking service = loc.getLTLPrivateTrackingPort();
GetPrivateTrackingStatusResponseReturn resp = service.getPrivateTrackingStatus(req);//Populate the Request Object and pass
- LTL Rate Quote web service
LTLRateQuoteService_ServiceLocator loc = new LTLRateQuoteService_ServiceLocator();
LTLRateQuoteService_PortType port = loc.getLTLRateQuoteServicePort();
GetLTLRateResponseReturn resp = port.getLTLRate(req);//Populate the Request Object and pass

-
Authentication required? Yes. Please see instructions above for including SOAP header.
- Web service options:
- getAvailableImages:
This option requires one parameter - "pro number" - and returns "document type"
- getDocument:
This option requires two parameters, "pro number" and "document type" and will
return a byte array that can be converted into a jpg, jpeg, pdf, bmp, or any available image format.
- To call this web service, see the sample Java code below:
getAvailableImages:
SendWebImageService serv = new SendWebImageService();
SendWebImage sendImg = serv.getSendWebImagePort();
String resp = sendImg.getAvailableImages("xxxxxxxxxx");//send pro number
getDocument:
SendWebImageService serv = new SendWebImageService();
SendWebImage sendImg = serv.getSendWebImagePort();
byte[] resp = sendImg.getDocument("xxxxxxxxxx","xxx");//send pro number and document type
