Hello,
I have a web service's WSDL and I need to write a client for that service.
What is the best way to do that?

Thanks,
Zohar.

Hi Zohar,

You can create a client for your service using the Web Service Client
Wizard. Here are the steps to get you started:

1. Click on New > Other... from the menu
2. Look for the Web Services folder and select Web Service Client, click
next (the Web Service Client Wizard comes up).

From here, you can click on browse to select a WSDL that you have
downloaded to your workspace, or you can type in a live URL directly.

Below the service definition field there are a bunch of options that you
can play around with, such as controlling how far the wizard should
proceed (for example, the wizard will generate samples JSPs for testing
the service if the slider is set to the "Test" position); and you can also
set configure the target server and runtime.

If you have anymore questions regarding the options, please don't hesitate
to post on the newsgroup.

Hope this helps.

Andrew

Hi Zohar,

I forgot to mention, you can also take a look at the following tutorial:

Hi Zohar,

You can use the generated classes in a couple of ways. In your
application, you can new up an instance of the generated proxy class and
use it in your code. You can also use the proxy as a bean on a JSP page
(if you've allowed the web service client wizard to generate the sample
JSPs, you can take a look at how it's being used there).

Thanks for the help.
How do I set the service's URL?
Is there an example client where I can see how all the classes should be
used correctly? Is there any documentation regarding the various generated
classes ?

Thanks again,
Zohar.

Hi Zohar,

If you take a peek inside the generated proxy class, you can see how it
makes use of the other generated class (the proxy class hides a lot of the
details and is meant as a convenience class that users can use directly).
Also, have a look at the following article, it has some sample code and
more in-depth explanations of what the classes are used for.
