## Package: dw.rpc

# Class Stub

## Inheritance Hierarchy

- Object
  - dw.rpc.Stub

## Description

This is the base class for all service stubs accessible through a WebReference object. The Stub provides access to the WSDL operations. Demandware recommends a low timeout to ensure responsiveness of the site and to avoid thread exhaustion. Use the Services module in Business Manager to set timeout values, not the methods for this class. The Services module provides better analytics and timeout management. The default timeout, if not set, is 15 minutes when the web service is used in a job, and 2 minutes otherwise. If the timeout of the calling script is lower, the script timeout is used. // get WebReference var webref : WebReference = webreferences.myWSDLname; // get service stub var stub : Stub = webref.defaultService;

## Method Details

### _getProperty

**Signature:** `_getProperty(name : String) : Object`

**Description:** Gets the value of a specific configuration property.

**Deprecated:**

use webreferences2 instead

**Parameters:**

- `name`: Name of the property whose value is to be retrieved

**Returns:**

Value of the configuration property

---

### _setProperty

**Signature:** `_setProperty(name : String, value : Object) : void`

**Description:** Sets the name and value of a configuration property for this Stub instance. If the Stub instance contains a value for the same property, the old value is replaced. Note: the _setProperty method may not perform a validity check on a configured property value. An example is the standard property for the target service endpoint address, which is not checked for validity in the _setProperty method. In this case, stub configuration errors are detected at the remote method invocation.

**Deprecated:**

use webreferences2 instead

**Parameters:**

- `name`: Name of the configuration property
- `value`: Value of the property

---

### getPassword

**Signature:** `getPassword() : String`

**Description:** Returns the password.

**Deprecated:**

use webreferences2 instead

**Returns:**

the password. Note: this method handles sensitive security-related data. Pay special attention to PCI DSS v3. requirements 2, 4, and 12.

---

### getTimeout

**Signature:** `getTimeout() : Number`

**Description:** Returns the current read timeout value in milliseconds for this Stub.

**Deprecated:**

use webreferences2 instead

**Returns:**

the current timeout value for this Stub.

---

### getUsername

**Signature:** `getUsername() : String`

**Description:** Returns the user name. Note: this method handles sensitive security-related data. Pay special attention to PCI DSS v3. requirements 2, 4, and 12.

**Deprecated:**

**Returns:**

the user name.

---

### setHeader

**Signature:** `setHeader(namespace : String, name : String, value : Object) : void`

**Description:** Sets an additional SOAP header value for the next operation.

**Deprecated:**

use webreferences2 instead

**Parameters:**

- `namespace`: the namespace to use.
- `name`: the name of the header item.
- `value`: the value for the header item.

---

### setPassword

**Signature:** `setPassword(password : String) : void`

**Description:** Sets the password.

**Deprecated:**

use webreferences2 instead

**Parameters:**

- `password`: the password to set.

---

### setTimeout

**Signature:** `setTimeout(timeout : Number) : void`

**Description:** Sets the timeout in milliseconds for the next call through this Stub. This timeout value controls "read timeout" (how long, after connecting, it will wait without any data being read). To control "connection timeout" you use the _setProperty(String, Object) method where the name parameter is CONNECTION_TIMEOUT.

**Deprecated:**

use webreferences2 instead

**Parameters:**

- `timeout`: the timeout for the next call through this stub.
