Web Services Client using the Spring Framework

[Natalie Kopple]

Hi, I am new to both web services and the Spring framework.

I inherited a piece of code, which in my view is a web services client tries to query data (please verify). The code is shown below.

How can I introduce the Spring framework into this web services client? Thank you for your help.

import gov.nih.nci.cabio.domain.Chromosome;
import gov.nih.nci.cabio.domain.Gene;
import gov.nih.nci.cabio.domain.GeneOntology;
import gov.nih.nci.cabio.domain.GeneOntologyRelationship;
import gov.nih.nci.cabio.domain.Taxon;

import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.rpc.ParameterMode;

import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;

public class TestWS {

	public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {

		Service service = new Service();
		Call call = (Call)service.createCall();

		/***************************************************************************************************************/
     
		QName qnGene = new QName("urn:domain.cabio.nci.nih.gov", "Gene");
		call.registerTypeMapping(Gene.class, qnGene,
				new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory(Gene.class, qnGene),
				new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory(Gene.class, qnGene));

        QName qnChromosome = new QName("urn:domain.cabio.nci.nih.gov", "Chromosome");
		call.registerTypeMapping(Chromosome.class, qnChromosome,
				new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory(Chromosome.class, qnChromosome),
				new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory(Chromosome.class, qnChromosome));

		QName qnTaxon = new QName("urn:domain.cabio.nci.nih.gov", "Taxon");
		call.registerTypeMapping(Taxon.class, qnTaxon,
				new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory(Taxon.class, qnTaxon),
				new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory(Taxon.class, qnTaxon));

		QName qnGeneOntology = new QName("urn:domain.cabio.nci.nih.gov", "GeneOntology");

		String url = "http://cabioapi.nci.nih.gov/cabio43/services/caBIOService";
        System.out.println("Connecting to " + url);
		call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new java.net.URL(url));

        /*
         * Example 1:
         * Get the version.
         */
        call.setOperationName(new QName("caBIOService", "getVersion"));
        call.setReturnType(org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.XSD_STRING);
        System.out.println("1.Version: "+call.invoke(new Object[0]));
        System.out.println("====================================================================");
        
        /*
         * Example 2:
         * Get number of records returned per Query.
         */
        call.setOperationName(new QName("caBIOService", "getRecordsPerQuery"));
        call.setReturnType(org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.XSD_INT);
        System.out.println("2.Number of records returned per Query: "+call.invoke(new Object[0]));
        System.out.println("====================================================================");
        
        /*
         * Example 3:
         * Get total number of Genes in the database
         */

        call.setOperationName(new QName("caBIOService", "getTotalNumberOfRecords"));
        call.addParameter("arg1",org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.XSD_STRING,ParameterMode.IN);
        call.addParameter("arg2", org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.XSD_ANYTYPE, ParameterMode.IN);        
        call.setReturnType(org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.XSD_INT);
        System.out.println("3.Total number of Genes found: " + call.invoke(new Object[] { "gov.nih.nci.cabio.domain.Gene", new Gene() }));
        System.out.println("\n====================================================================");

    }

}

Is there a HelloWorld example I can find somewhere?

When you download the spring webservices, there will lot of samples. In that, you can try the echo web service..
