How do I set up a web service client in my spring application context?

Question

I'm using Maven 3.0.3 and Spring 3.1.1.RELEASE. I would like to autowire a web service client, whose classes I'm generating with the jaxws-maven-plugin ...

<plugin>
     <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
             <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <executions>
                           <execution>
                                <goals>
                                  <goal>wsimport</goal>
                                 </goals>
                                 <configuration>
                                      <wsdlUrls>
                                         <wsdlUrl>${wsdl.url}</wsdlUrl>
                                      </wsdlUrls>
                                 <sourceDestDir>${basedir}/src/main/java</sourceDestDir>
                                 <packageName>org.myco.myws</packageName>
                                 </configuration>
                         </execution>
                  </executions>
</plugin>

However, I'm confused about how to setup my Spring applicaton context. I have

    <bean id="organizationWebService" class="org.springframework.remoting.jaxws.JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean">
        <property name="serviceInterface" value="org.myco.myws.OrganizationWebService" />
        <property name="namespaceUri" value="http://myco.org/myws/" />
        <property name="serviceName" value="api" />
        <property name="endpointAddress" value="http://hbs-01.qa2.myco.cb:8443/bsg/myws/OrganizationService?WSDL" />
    </bean>

But I get this error. Note the "related cause: WSDL Metadata not available to create the proxy". How do I configure this thing correctly?

Answer 1

You are missing the WSDL document URL in your Spring configuration:

<bean id="organizationWebService" class="org.springframework.remoting.jaxws.JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean">
    <property name="serviceInterface" value="org.myco.myws.OrganizationWebService" />
    <property name="namespaceUri" value="http://myco.org/myws/" />
    <property name="serviceName" value="api" />
    <property name="endpointAddress" value="http://hbs-01.qa2.myco.cb:8443/bsg/myws/OrganizationService" />
    <property name="wsdlDocumentUrl" value="classpath:org/myco/mywscampaignmonitor/mywscampaignmonitor.wsdl" />
</bean>

Use the configuration as above and it should work.

Faced with the same problem, it turned out, I was missing these depedencies:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
        <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
        <artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0</version>
    </dependency>

Just adding them to my classpath solved the problem.
