Java World Knowledge Sharing Portal: Wsimport for creating java client from wsdl

wsimport was coming as default in bin folder in jdk till 8 but now it is not shiped by default.

But you can download the same from below location.

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/sun/xml/ws/jaxws-ri/2.3.1/jaxws-ri-2.3.1.zip

in bin folder of above zip you will get wsimport.

Now as we dont have WSDL file we are using readymade WSDL file.

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/airavata/sandbox/xbaya-web/test/Calculator.wsdl

Now lets import the same in soapui tool and create mock up for sending reponse as shown below.

Now create a simple java project in eclipse and belwo command to create the java client code using wsimport command.

wsimport -keep -d C:\eclipse-j2ee-workspace\ConsumeSoap\src -p com.siddhu file:/C:/eclipse-j2ee-workspace/ConsumeSoap/resource/Calculator.wsdl

now create lib folder and place all the required jar in it that is shipped by defualt in jaxws-ri-2.3.1.zip.

Add all the jar of lib folder in projec class path.

Now create the below main class

/**
 * 
 */
package com.siddhu;
 
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceRef;
 
/**
 * @author Siddhartha
 *
 */
public class SiddhuMain {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            try {
                SiddhuMain client = new SiddhuMain();
                client.doTest();
            } catch(Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
 
        public void doTest() {
            try {
                Calculator objCalculator =  new Calculator();
                System.out.println("Retrieving the port fromthe following service: " + objCalculator);
                CalculatorPortType port = objCalculator.getCalculatorHttpSoap11Endpoint();
                System.out.println("Invoking the add method the port.");
                Integer response = port.add(new Integer("1"),new Integer("2"));
                System.out.println(response.toString());
            } catch(Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
}
