Invoke a web service by using wsimport generation java from Grails Project

Question

I use the wsimport to generate a Web service Client. Such like

wsimport -extension -keep -p [package] [wsdl file]

It works well by using it in java project.

But I want to invoke it in a Grails Project. So I put these generated classes by wsimport into the src/java folder. And I invoke it in "controllers" of Grails project such as

*Holder<String> result = new Holder<String>()
Holder<String> description = new Holder<String>()
RCCWebServiceClientHandler.createSubscription(591, "1234", "1234324543", "453452345", "", 0, "78",4, "", "", result, description)
println(result.value)
println(description.value)*

Occur exception is

2015-03-19 17:44:13,162 [http-bio-8080-exec-1] ERROR errors.GrailsExceptionResolver  - WebServiceException occurred when processing request: [GET] /GrailsExample/webservice/index

I don't know which method invoke __execute method. And why it works well by using java invoking, but it fails in Grails Project?

Update:

1. Refer the https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27317033/spring-wsdl-no-corresponding-wsdl-operation-with-name to know this is about classloader issue from Spring.

2. I used the GGTS IDE, after it add Dependency: compile ":ws-client:1.0" into BuildConfig.groovy

It works. But I still don't know the reason exactly.

Answer 1

I have bumped into this problem recently.

With a Grails 2.3.9, the problem seems to be solved if you place this dependency into sour BuildConfig.groovy:

    runtime "com.sun.xml.ws:jaxws-rt:2.1.7"

Probably, the Grails environment has an older JAX-WS runtime by default, so a newer needs to be pulled in.

Also, see Alex Xu-s link (in comments).
