Creating Web Service Client

In this blog post I am going to talk about how to generate the web service client out of WSDL.

Copy the WSDL to your workspace. (See how to generate the WSDL)

Right click WSDL file -> Web Services -> Generate Client

Configure the server and web service runtime

Choose the output package and click Finish

 Now the web service proxy and other java files required for consuming the web service would be created in the package given

Now let’s write a java web service client

HelloWorldClient.Java

package com.sri.client;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;

import com.sri.ws.HelloWorldImpl;

import com.sri.ws.HelloWorldImplProxy;

public class HelloWorldClient {

       public static void main(String args[]){

             

              try {

                     HelloWorldImplProxy proxy = new HelloWorldImplProxy();

                     HelloWorldImpl hello = proxy.getHelloWorldImpl();

                     System.out.println(hello.sayHello("Smith"));

              } catch (RemoteException e) {

                     e.printStackTrace();

              }

       }

}
