Accessing a Web service
Hi,
I need to know how we can access a web service that is running in a remote machine in java. For this purpose i created a simple web service and i have exposed a simple method that returns a string (no input parameters). The WSDL that was generated had a URL specified in a
<wsdlsoap:address location="http://localhost:8080/ITDWeb/services/BUBWebService"/>
tag. Now i want to know how i can call this from a standalone java class and store the returned string.
thanks,
Dilip

I also need to know if there are separate ways to access webservices running on Axis and JAX-WS environment. I got this piece of code to access a Axis webservice,
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException;
import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
public class WebServiceInvoker {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String endPoint = "http://localhost:8080/SampleWebService/services/SampleService";
Service service = new Service();
try {
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new URL(endPoint));
call.setOperationName(new QName("http://DefaultNamespace", "getName"));
String ret = (String) call.invoke(new Object[] {"Hi Dilip"});
System.out.println(ret);
} catch (ServiceException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Can the same code be used to access a JAX-WS webservice? Or is there any generic code that can do the job?
Thanks,
Dilip
