Wanted: Simple ant script to demo wsgen and wsimport.

[Siegfried Heintze]

Does someone have a simple ant script that demonstrates how to run wsgen and wsimport?

I'm running wsgen, running my little web service in the background and running wsimport from the command line.

I see wsimport creating some class files but I'm not sure what to do next. I want to use eclipse to create a client for this soap service. How do I do that using ant and eclipse?

Thanks,
Siegfried

Here is my java6 web service:

package xml.soapDemo;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
 
@WebService
public class HelloService {
@WebMethod
public String HelloWorld() {
return "Hello, World";
}
@WebMethod
public double F2C(double f){
return 5 * (f - 32) / 9;
}
@WebMethod
public double C2F(double C){
return 9*C/5-32;
}
@WebMethod
public double add(double x, double y){ return x + y; }
public static void main(String[] args) {
HelloService hello = new HelloService();
Endpoint endpoint = Endpoint.publish("http://localhost:8123/hello",hello);
}
}

Hi,

I m posting you simple build file for wsimport& wsgen.




<target name="-pre-dist">
<taskdef name="wsgen" classname="com.sun.tools.ws.ant.WsGen">
<classpath path="${javac.classpath}"/>
</taskdef>
<wsgen
debug="true"
keep="true"
destdir="build/web/WEB-INF/classes"
resourcedestdir="build/web/WEB-INF/classes"
sei="my.sample.server.ServiceImpl">
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${javac.classpath}"/>
<pathelement location="${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar"/>
<pathelement location="build/web/WEB-INF/classes"/>
</classpath>
</wsgen>
</target>
<!-- Overrides build-impl.xml target to start server and generate client artifacts before building test. -->
<target name="-pre-compile-test">
<taskdef name="wsimport" classname="com.sun.tools.ws.ant.WsImport">
<classpath path="${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>

Thanks!

I have a few more questions:
(1) Can you explain your choice of task names that begin with a "-"? I removed the "-" from them so I could specify them from the command line.

(2) After running wsimport, what do I do? How does wsimport help me create a client?

(3) How do I run that ant script? Below is my attempt. Do I have to specify a classpath?

Thanks,
Siegfried

Hi,

I have used netbeans IDE so the-pre specifies that before the war file is made this target should be called.
You can use following targets:

-pre-init: called before initialization of project properties
-post-init: called after initialization of project properties
-pre-compile: called before javac compilation
-post-compile:called after javac compilation
-pre-compile-single: called before javac compilation of single file
-post-compile-single: called after javac compilation of single file
-pre-compile-test: called before javac compilation of JUnit tests
-post-compile-test: called after javac compilation of JUnit tests
-pre-compile-test-single: called before javac compilation of single JUnit test
-post-compile-test-single: called after javac compilation of single JUunit test
-pre-dist: called before jar building
-post-dist: called after jar building
-post-clean: called after cleaning build products

Also if you are facing class not found then either in your web application add following jar in lib directory or declare classpath variabale in ant script with absolute path to following jar:
activation.jar
fastInfoset.jar
http.jar
jaxv-api.jar
jaxb-impl.jar
jaxb-xjc.jar
jaxws-api.jar
jaxws-rt.jar
jaxws-tools.jar
jsr173_api.jar
jsr181-api.jar
jsr250-api.jar
package-rename-task.jar
resolver.jar
saaj-api.jar
saaj-impl.jar
sjsxp.jar

I guess you can download jwsdp-2.0 where youwill get all jar files.

I would say download netbeans IDE since you can make any webservice independant of application server in it.And then can modify ant script and run it from netbeans itself.
I find it very handy.
Bye.

Hi,

If you choose to download netbeans then simply follow this tutrial:
