1. Create a new project using eclipse
2. Go to Run Configurations
- a. Under Java Applications -> main tab
- i. Set main class to: org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java
- ii. Set Project to whatever project you created
- iii. Set name to whatever name you want.
- b. Under Java Applications -> arguments tab
- i. Set Program Arguments to: https://localhost:8443/holidayWebService/services/holiday?wsdl -o src (Where the url is the url for the wsdl)
- c. Under Java Applciations -> classpath tab
- i. Add in latest jars for: (also add these jars to the buildpath)
- activation.jar
- axis.jar
- commons-discovery.jar
- commons-logging.jar
- commons-net.jar
- jaxrpc.jar
- jaxrpc-api.jar
- mail.jar
- saaj.jar
- wsdl4j.jar
- i. Add in latest jars for: (also add these jars to the buildpath)
3. Ensure the web service is running, and then run the project. This should generate the necessary files for creating a client.
PKIX path building error:
IF there is a PKIX path building failed: SunCertPathBuilderException then most likely the web services security
certificate has not been added to Java's cacerts file (file of trusted websites).
The solution is described in the below website.http://magicmonster.com/kb/prg/java/ssl/pkix_path_building_failed.html
4. Create a main method
/**
* Simple sample of main method, it queries the web service for the closest observed holiday to January 1st, 2012.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException
{
HolidayService service = new HolidayServiceLocator();
Calendar newYears = Calendar.getInstance();
// Error with Calendar in that if you don't set hours, minutes, and seconds to zero date could be wrong on web service side, leading to wrong queries.
newYears.set(Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR), Calendar.JANUARY, 1, 0, 0, 0);
try
{
Holiday closest = service.getHolidayServicePort().getClosestHoliday(newYears, true, true); String name = closest.getDescription(); assert("New Year's Day".equals(name));
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
}
