Consume web service in spring

[Lalit Wan]

Hi,
I am new to Java. I am developing one web application in which I want to consume web service. For this I have created on configuration xml with name "applicationContext.xml" in which is as below -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
         http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">
	   
	<bean id="webTestService" class="org.springframework.remoting.jaxws.JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean">  
	    <property name="serviceInterface" value="com.mysite.service.WebTestService"/>  
	    <property name="wsdlDocumentUrl" value="http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx?WSDL"/>  
	    <property name="namespaceUri" value="http://www.webserviceX.NET"/>  
	    <property name="serviceName" value="GetInfoByZIP"/>
	    <property name="portName" value="USZipSoap"/>  
	</bean>  
</beans>

I have created one service interface with name "WebTestService.java" in which I have written

package com.mysite.service;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;

@WebService
public interface WebTestService {
	@WebMethod
	public String GetInfoByZIP(String zipCode);
}

and in my controller I have written below -

@RequestMapping(value = "getAreaInfo.html", method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public String getAreaInformation() {

		ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml");
		WebTestService weTeatService = (WebTestService) context.getBean("webTestService");
		
		System.out.println(" weTeatService " + weTeatService.GetInfoByZIP("14521"));

		return "landing";
	}

LWhile running the code I am getting below error -

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcher] in context with path [/mysite] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'webTestService' defined in class path resource [applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: Failed to access the WSDL at: http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx?WSDL. It failed with:
Got Connection timed out: connect while opening stream from http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx?WSDL.] with root cause
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect


I did lots of googling but did not get any solution for it. Am I doing anything wrong here? Please suggest me the possible solutions.
Thanks in advance

My guess is that

<property name="wsdlDocumentUrl" value="http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx?WSDL"/>

Is not the true location for your wsdl document. You need to set it to where your wsdl is.

HI Mark,

Thanks for reply.

Actually I am calling a remote web service which will return me Area information depending on zipcode which I am passing as a parameter.
You can check this link http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx?WSDL in browser.

Thanks
Lalit

Yep, it is there. I wonder why when the request to get the wsdl is made that it can't connect?

Could there be firewall/accessibility issues of where you are running it to get to that site. I mean I guess that would only be a possible block out, as the WSDL location is wide open.
