Sample Java Web service and the Client to call the same

Sample Web service and the Client to call the same

In this blog we would discuss how to develop webservice , publish the webservice programatically and then develop the client to call the above webservice. 

You need Eclipse or Jdeveloper as the IDE 

step1

First develop the interface for the webservice as shown below

package example;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Style;

@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style=Style.RPC)
public interface HelloWorld {
   
    @WebMethod
    String getHelloWorldAsString(String name);

}

step2

Now implement the above interface as shown below

package example;

import javax.jws.WebService;

@WebService(endpointInterface="example.HelloWorld")
public class HelloWorldImpl implements HelloWorld{
    public String getHelloWorldAsString(String name) {
       
        return "hello world from jax -ws "+name;
    }

}

step3

We need to publish the above webservice so that the WSDL is generated and published in the given location.

package example;

import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;

public class HelloWorldPublisher {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        HelloWorldImpl obj = new HelloWorldImpl();
        Endpoint.publish("http://localhost:8080/example/hello",obj);
        System.out.println("web service published ..");
       
    }

}

step4

Develop the client code to call the above published webservice

package example;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.ws.Service;

public class HelloWorldClient {

    /**
     * @param args
     * @throws MalformedURLException
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
       
       
        URL url = new URL("http://localhost:8080/example/hello?wsdl");
       
       
        QName qname = new QName("http://example/","HelloWorldImplService");

//note: http://example is target namespace of WSDL and HelloWorldImplService is again taken from //WSDL
       
        //1st argument is the service uri. refer to the wsdl document
        //2nd argumnet is the service name. refer to wsdl
       
        Service service = Service.create(url,qname);
        HelloWorld hello = service.getPort(HelloWorld.class);
        System.out.println(hello.getHelloWorldAsString("Aleem"));
       

    }

}
