This tutorial shows how to create a simple Web service and | |
Web service client from a Java class. The Java class in this | |
scenario converts between the Celsius and Farenheit | |
temperature scales. | |

It will take about one minute for the wizard to assemble | |
the Web service and Web service client Web projects, | |
start Apache Tomcat, and deploy the projects to Tomcat. | |
Once finished, the generated Sample JSP Web application | |
will appear in the browser view, maximized here for | |

Since you selected the "Monitor Web service" checkbox, | |
a TCP/IP port is automatically created on the | |
Tomcat server. When you invoke the Web service, | |
the <b>TCP/IP Monitor</b> view comes up automatically showing | |
the SOAP message request and response. Double-click | |
on the <b>TCP/IP Monitor</b> view and select XML view in the drop-down | |
combo for both request and response. Result: | |

The Web Service wizard is orchestrating the end-to-end | |
generation, assembly, deployment, installation and execution | |
of the Web service, Web service client, and sample JSPs. In | |
this scenario, we clicked Finish on page one. In effect, this | |
is allowing the wizard to pick reasonable defaults according | |
to the basic high-level choices made on the first page. If | |
you repeat this scenario, but use the Next button to work | |
through the wizard, you will learn more about the kinds of | |
choices that are available and the kinds of defaults being | |
assumed. | |

After completing this scenario, the WSDL for the Converter | |
Web service can be found in | |

Now that your Web service is running, there are a few | |
interesting things you can do with this WSDL file. Examples: | |
</p></td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top"> | |
| |
</td><td valign="top"><ol> | |
<li> | |
You can double-click on the WSDL to open the WSDL | |
graphical editor. | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
You can right-click on the WSDL and choose | |
<b> | |
Web Services -> Test with Web Services Explorer | |
</b> | |
to test the service. | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
You can right-click on the WSDL and choose | |
<b>Web Services -> Publish WSDL file</b> | |
to publish the service to a public UDDI registry. | |
</li> | |
<li> | |
You can click on the WSDL and choose | |
<b> | |
New -> Other... -> Web Services -> | |
Web Service Client | |
</b> | |
to generate a Web service client. Note, however, that we | |
have already witnessed the internal and visual features | |
of the Web Service Client wizard since, in addition to | |
being its own wizard, it is quite literally embedded | |
within the larger Web Service wizard. | |
