命令行Java客户端以使用SOAP-WSLD

Question

I have to write a command line java program to consume a SOAP (wsdl) web service. I do not have a luxury to installed any java libraries I want. So I am going to have to write most of it myself. What can use? or where can I start? Thank you in Advance.

Answer 1

Even if you can't install some additional libs, you have to take a look at wsimport tool, to generate web-service client stubs. This tool is provided with JDK, so, I suppose, it could be available for you.

You can find a number of examples, how to ise it on internet, here is one of them , take a look at the chapter 2, called "Java Web Service Client via wsimport tool"

Answer 2

The executable code for the client should be generated from WSDL file of the web service:

wsimport http://localhost:8080/someservice/YourService?WSDL

Then you'll get the client classes to access to the web service. Then you need to write a simple client.

public class YourServiceClient {
   @WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation="http://localhost:8080/someservice/YourService?WSDL")
   private static YourService yourService;

   public void doSomething() {
      // get service port and perform some logic      
   }

   public static void main() {
      new YourServiceClient().doSomething();
   }
}

To provide the resources for work with the standalone client (not deployed on the application server) you can use:

appclient -client yourserviceclient.jar
