I need to jump into the Spring Web Service Project, in that I required to implement the Spring Web Service's Client Only..
So, I have already gone through with Spring's Client Reference Document.
So, I got the idea of required classes for the implementation of Client.
But my problem is like I have done some googling, but didn't get any proper example of both Client and Server from that I can implement one sample for my client.
So, if anybody gives me some link or tutorial for proper example from that I can learn my client side implementation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
in my previous project, I implemented a Webservice client with Spring 2.5.6, maven2, xmlbeans.
- xmlbeans is responsible for un/marshal
- maven2 is for project mgmt/building etc.
I paste some codes here and hope they are helpful.
xmlbeans maven plugin conf: (in pom.xml)
<build>
<finalName>projectname</finalName>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
<resource>
<directory>target/generated-classes/xmlbeans
</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
<!-- xmlbeans maven plugin for the client side -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>xmlbeans-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>xmlbeans</goal>
</goals>

</executions>
<inherited>true</inherited>
<configuration>
<schemaDirectory>src/main/resources/</schemaDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>

<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin
</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>add-source</id>

<source> target/generated-sources/xmlbeans</source>

</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
So from the above conf, you need to put the schema file (either standalone or in your WSDL file, you need to extract them and save as a schema file.) under src/main/resources. when you build the project with maven, the pojos are gonna be generated by xmlbeans. The generated sourcecodes will be under
target/generated-sources/xmlbeans.
then we come to Spring conf. I just put the WS relevant context here:
<bean id="messageFactory" class="org.springframework.ws.soap.axiom.AxiomSoapMessageFactory">
<property name="payloadCaching" value="true"/>
</bean>
<bean id="abstractClient" abstract="true">
<constructor-arg ref="messageFactory"/>
</bean>
<bean id="marshaller" class="org.springframework.oxm.xmlbeans.XmlBeansMarshaller"/>
<bean id="myWebServiceClient" parent="abstractClient" class="class.path.MyWsClient">
<property name="defaultUri" value="http://your.webservice.url"/>
<property name="marshaller" ref="marshaller"/>
<property name="unmarshaller" ref="marshaller"/>
</bean>
finally, take a look the ws-client java class
public class MyWsClient extends WebServiceGatewaySupport {
//if you need some Dao, Services, just @Autowired here.
public MyWsClient(WebServiceMessageFactory messageFactory) {
super(messageFactory);
}
// here is the operation defined in your wsdl
public Object someOperation(Object parameter){
//instantiate the xmlbeans generated class, infact, the instance would be the document (marshaled) you are gonna send to the WS
SomePojo requestDoc = SomePojo.Factory.newInstance(); // the factory and other methods are prepared by xmlbeans
ResponsePojo responseDoc = (ResponsePojo)getWebServiceTemplate().marshalSendAndReceive(requestDoc); // here invoking the WS
//then you can get the returned object from the responseDoc.
}
}
I hope the example codes are helpful.
