| <h2>Creating a Web service client using Ant tasks in the Workbench</h2> |
| <p>You can use Ant through the Eclipse workspace to generate a Web service client using the CXF run-time environment.</p> |
| <p>Before creating the Web service you must:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Complete the prerequisites in:<a href="../tasks/ant_tasks.html">Creating Web services and clients using Apache CXF and Ant tasks</a></li> |
| <!-- <li>Create or import a WSDL file into the WebContent folder of the dynamic Web project.</li> --> |
| </ul> |
| <p>To begin you need to modify the Ant properties file than was imported using the Ant Files wizard in the prerequisites.</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Edit the <samp class="codeph">cxf_client.properties</samp> file that you imported in the prerequisites step.</li> |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li>Ensure the scenarioType parameter is set to client.</li> |
| <li>Set the initialSelection parameter to the location of your WSDL file.</li> |
| <li>All other parameters are optional and should be deleted if not explicitly set. The default values |
| for the remaining properties will be retrieved from the Dynamic Web project settings and preferences. |
| For additional information on how to set these parameters refer to: |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="../tasks/cxf_ant_client_prop_ref.html">CXF Web service client Ant task properties file reference</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| Save the properties file. |
| </ol> |
| <li>Select the <samp class="codeph">cxf_client.xml</samp> file and from the top level menu and |
| select <b>Run > External Tools > External Tools Configurations</b>.</li> |
| <li>In the dialog that opens select <b>Ant Build</b> and then select the <b>New launch configuration</b> button in the toolbar. |
| Select the <b>JRE</b> tab and select <b>Run in the same JRE as the workspace</b>. |
| Click <b>Apply</b> and then <b>Run</b>.</li> |
| <li>A <samp class="codeph">Build Successful</samp> message will be output to the console once the Web service has been generated.</li> |
| </ol> |
