HOw to use the link of webservices in java program. 1

[johnsanty]

Hi,

I would need some pointers developing web services client. The web services has already been deployed using Tomcat and Axis. I can see the exposed methods from the link. Now I need to write a client to be able to use those methods. Specifically, how to use the URI link from my java program and invoke those methods provided by the webservices?

I have checked online

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17802_01/webservices/webservices/docs/2.0/tutorial/doc/

. In this example, they use the following:

public class HelloClient {
@WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation="

http://localhost:8080/

helloservice/hello?wsdl")


However, I do not see how this service(

http://localhost:8080/helloservice/hello?wsdl)

is reference in the code. One of the method provided by software vendor is getFamilyName which takes a parameter of a familyname(type string). Then, returns all information about a person having the specified family name.


Thanks
John

Hi,

Please note that I'm not asking for the entire code. I just need to know how to use the URI link from my java program and invoke those methods provided by the webservices?


Thanks

Maybe you could try Apache Xfire to generate the code

Hi Dian,

Thanks a lot for your input. However, the web services have been already developed and has been deployed. I just need to know how to use the URI link from my java program and invoke those methods provided by the webservices?


Thanks

Hi Dian,

Are you saying that I could implement the client using Xfire so I could access the already deployed Webservices? Sorry to ask you this question...I'm really new to web services stuffs...Thanks!

You can do both things with XFire, but in this case I mean you can invoke the already developed webservice. Take a look at this

Cheers,
