| |
| <div><p>The Web Service Client wizard assists you in generating a Java™ bean |
| proxy and a sample application. The sample Web application demonstrates how |
| to code a proxy file.</p> |
| |
| <div class="p"><p>Prerequisites:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>If you are using the Apache Jakarta Tomcat servlet |
| container as your server, you must install it, configure an instance of it, |
| and create a Web project targeted to it as described in <a href="ttomcatserv.html">Creating an Apache Tomcat server and Web project</a></li> |
| |
| <li>Discover and import a WSDL document into the Web project. You can only |
| use a WSDL file that contains a service element.</li> |
| |
| </ol> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="section">To generate a Java client proxy and a sample application |
| from a discovered WSDL document:</div> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li><span>Switch to the J2EE perspective (<span class="uicontrol">Window > Open Perspective |
| > J2EE</span>).</span></li> |
| |
| <li><span>In the Navigator view, select the Web project in which you want |
| to generate a sample application.</span></li> |
| |
| <li><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">File > New > Other</span>. Select <span class="uicontrol">Web |
| Services</span> in order to display the various Web service wizards. |
| Select the <span class="uicontrol">Web Service Client</span> wizard. Click <span class="uicontrol">Next</span>.</span> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li><span>Web Services page: Select the type of proxy to be generated, and |
| whether or not it will be tested.</span></li> |
| |
| <li><span>Client Environment Configuration page: Select the run-time environment |
| and the server for your Web service client.</span> |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li class="substepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Explore Options</span> and select the |
| Apache Axis run-time environment and select the server on which you want to |
| run your Web service client.</span></li> |
| |
| <li class="substepexpand"><span>Select the type and name of project in which you want the Web |
| service client created.</span> <ul> |
| <li> If you enter the name of an existing project, the project type field |
| must match that of the existing project. Ensure that the project selected |
| as the Client Web Project is different from the Service Web Project, or the |
| service will be overwritten by the client's generated artifacts.</li> |
| |
| <li>If you enter a name of a project that does not already exist, the wizard |
| will create the project for you.</li> |
| |
| <li>Note that the only project type supported for Axis clients is a Web project. |
| If you want the client to be created in a Java, EJB, or Application Client project, |
| you must select the WebSphere<sup>®</sup> run-time environment for your client.</li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| |
| </ol> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li><span>Web Service Selection page: Enter the URI to the WSDL, WSIL, or |
| HTML file that will be used to generate the client. You can optionally generate |
| a WSIL file from this file as well.</span></li> |
| |
| <li><span>Web Service Proxy page: This panel shows the options for the proxy. |
| It lists the folder where the proxy will be generated, and you can optionally |
| create custom mappings between namespaces and packages.</span></li> |
| |
| <li><span>Web Service Namespace to Package Mappings page: if you selected |
| <span class="uicontrol">Define custom mapping for namespace to package</span> on |
| the previous page, you can enter your custom mapping pairs on this page by |
| clicking <span class="uicontrol">Add</span>.</span></li> |
| |
| <li><span>Web Service Client Test page: Select the test facility that you |
| will use to test the proxy, and the methods that you want included in the |
| proxy. Note that the Universal Test Client (UTC) is only compatible with Web |
| service clients deployed on WebSphere servers.</span></li> |
| |
| <li><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">Finish</span>. If you have selected to test |
| the proxy, the test client will open in a browser window.</span></li> |
| |
| </ol> |
| |
| <div class="section"><p>The generated Java bean proxy provides a remote procedure |
| call interface to the Web service. The sample Web application demonstrates |
| how to code the proxy file.</p> |
| <p>Once you have generated your Java client |
| proxy, you may test the methods of the Web service through the proxy using |
| Web Services sample JSPs or the Universal test client.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>If you have selected to test the generated proxy using Web service JSPs, |
| the proxy is launched in a Web browser at the following URL: <samp class="codeph">http://localhost: <var class="varname">port</var>/ <var class="varname">WebProject</var>Client/sample<em>BeanName</em>/ <var class="varname">WebServiceName</var>/TestClient.jsp</samp> You |
| can use this sample application to test the Web service by selecting a method, |
| entering a value for the method, and clicking <span class="uicontrol">Invoke</span>. |
| The result of the method will display in the results pane.</li> |
| |
| <li>If you have selected to test the generated proxy using the Universal Test |
| Client, it will be launched in a browser window at the following URL: <tt class="sysout">http://localhost:9080/UTC/preload?object= <var class="varname">BeanPackage</var>. <var class="varname">BeanServiceProxy</var></tt>. In the Reference pane, |
| under Object References, expand the proxy stub to display the methods of the |
| Web service. Click the method you want to test, enter a value in the Parameters |
| pane, and click <span class="uicontrol">Invoke</span>. The result will be generated |
| below.</li> |
| |
| <li>If you have selected to test the Web service using the Web Services Explorer, |
| the Explorer will open. Select the operation you want to test, enter the required |
| information, and click <strong>Go</strong>. The result will display in the Status pane.</li> |
| |
