<context>To generate a <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." | |
tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> client proxy and a sample application | |
from a discovered WSDL document:</context> | |
<steps> | |
<step><cmd>Switch to the Java EE perspective (<uicontrol>Window > Open Perspective | |
> Java EE</uicontrol>).</cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>In the Navigator view, select the Web project in which you want | |
to generate a sample application.</cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>Click <uicontrol>File > New > Other</uicontrol>. Select <uicontrol>Web | |
Services</uicontrol> in order to display the various Web service wizards. | |
Select the <uicontrol>Web Service Client</uicontrol> wizard. Click <uicontrol>Next</uicontrol>.</cmd> | |
</step> | |
<step><cmd>Web Services page: </cmd> | |
<substeps> | |
<substep><cmd>Enter the URI to the WSDL, WSIL, or HTML file that will be used | |
to generate the client.</cmd></substep> | |
<substep><cmd>Select the type of proxy to be generated</cmd></substep> | |
<substep><cmd>Select the stages of Web services development that you want | |
to complete using the slider:</cmd><info><ul> | |
<li>Develop: this will develop the WSDL definition and implementation of the | |
Web service. This includes such tasks as creating the modules which will contain | |
the generated code and <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." | |
tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> files, as well as copying the Axis | |
JARs..</li> | |
<li>Assemble: this ensures the project that will host the Web service or client | |
gets associated to an EAR when required by the target application server.</li> | |
<li>Deploy: this will create the deployment code for the service.</li> | |
<li>Install: this will install and configure the Web module and EARs on the | |
target server.</li> | |
<li>Start: this will start the server once the service has been installed | |
on it. The server-config.wsdd file will be generated.</li> | |
<li>Test: this will provide various options for testing the service, such | |
as using the Web Service Explorer or sample JSPs.</li> | |
</ul></info></substep> | |
<substep><cmd>Select your server: the default server is displayed. If you | |
want to deploy your client to a different server click the link to specify | |
a different server.</cmd></substep> | |
<substep><cmd>Select your runtime: ensure the Apache Axis2 runtime is selected.</cmd> | |
</substep> | |
<substep><cmd>Select the client project: the project containing the project | |
selected in your workspace is displayed. To select a different project and | |
EAR click on the project link.</cmd><info>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.</info></substep> | |
<substep><cmd>Monitor the Web service: this will send the Web service traffic | |
through the TCP/IP Monitor, which allows you to watch the SOAP traffic generated | |
by the Web service and to test this traffic for WS-I compliance. Alternately | |
you can manually set up a TCP/IP monitor as described in <xref href="../../org.eclipse.wst.wsi.ui.doc.user/tasks/tmonitor.dita" | |
scope="peer">Using the TCP/IP Monitor to test Web services</xref></cmd></substep> | |

Web service configuration page: Use this page to select the following options: </cmd> | |
<substeps> | |
<substep><cmd>Service Name: </cmd></substep> | |
<substep><cmd>Port Name: </cmd></substep> | |
<substep><cmd>Databinding Name: Only the Axis2 Databinding Framework (ADB) | |
is supported at this time.</cmd></substep> | |
<substep><cmd>Custom package name: You can change the package name in this | |
field.</cmd></substep> | |
<substep><cmd>Client mode: You can choose if the client is synchronous, asynchronous, | |
or both.</cmd></substep> | |
<substep><cmd>Generate test case to test the service: If you select this, | |
the Axis2 emitter will generate JUnit testcases matching the WSDL provided | |
to the client. These JUnit testcases will be generated to a newly added source | |
directory to the client project called <uicontrol>test</uicontrol>. </cmd> | |

the mappings between packages and namespaces.</cmd></substep> | |

<result><p>The generated <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." | |
tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> 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 <tm tmclass="special" | |
tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> 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 outputclass="wsclienttestoptions"> | |
<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: <codeph>http://localhost: <varname>port</varname>/ <varname>WebProject</varname>Client/sample<i | |
>BeanName</i>/ <varname>WebServiceName</varname>/TestClient.jsp</codeph> You | |
can use this sample application to test the Web service by selecting a method, | |
entering a value for the method, and clicking <uicontrol>Invoke</uicontrol>. | |
The result of the method will display in the results pane.</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 | |
