How to retrieve data form webservices

[sunil jha]

Hi ,

I have received one webservice link from my client like

http://10.1.1.6:8080/wsa/wsa1/wsdl?targetURI=urn:smsgroup:tb:company

(It is internal link)


This web service can be used for displaying details of different client.

As I am calling this URL through browser it gives me Schema of XML. But I need data which is mapped with this schema like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <wsdl efinitions name="Company_ws" targetNamespace="urn:smsgroup:tb:company" xmlns:tns="urn:smsgroup:tb:company" xmlns:S2="urn:smsgroup:tb:company:Company_ws" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:S1="urn:soap-fault etails" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">

Have you ever created a WS client? If you're familiar with SOAP, you can find a simple client here. If not, then you have a bit of a learning curve ahead of you. I'd advise to get familiar with Apache Axis; its wsdl2java tool can create a Java client from a WSDL description like you have.

As an aside, it is not a good idea to do this in a JSP. Do yourself a huge favor, and do this in a backing bean or a servlet.

Hi,
I used AXIS and received 5 .java file but i don't know where will put these file for XML.I used on tool and they are using same file and genrating XML. I have to make other project to deploy it or I can integrate it web service. I need to call URL and want xml fromat data.
please help me step by step...I am beginner for java

The tool doesn't generate the actual client application, only the classes that perform the WS access. The documentation should show the code needed to make it a full client app.

I'm not sure what you're asking about XML. You wouldn't have to write code to create XML (or SOAP) - the classes that were generated do all that.

Hi,

I m not sure that I answer your question but you create a client with this wsdl using build file:

<target name="-pre-compile-test">
<taskdef name="wsimport" classname="com.sun.tools.ws.ant.WsImport">
<classpath path="${javac.classpath}"/>
</taskdef>
<!-- Use "debug" or "run" here. -->
<antcall target="run"/>
<echo>running wsimport</echo>
<wsimport
debug="true"
keep="true"
destdir="test"
package="my.sample.test.generated"
wsdl="http://localhost:8080/JAX-WS20Project/hello?wsdl"/>
</target>

This will create client stubs.
Then write servlet or java class to access the webservie.
