Hi Thanks for your email, i will be using axis 2 as the webservice is written in java, and is writting using egate interface, Now with axis 2, do i run wsdl2java to create java classes and then call some methods?
do you have any example of doing so using axis 2 Ashish On 4/27/07, José Ferreiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Dear Ashish, I will say that you have two technologies to do that (among many others). You may choose Microsoft or Open source libraries. In this mailing list you have people working with Axis 1.x and Axis2. Axis 1.4 doesn't has any further development. Axis2 is evolving and supports different types of WS-standarts (which is not the case for Axis 1.x). Well, in my opinion you should ask the people who gave you the wsdl what kind of web service server do they have. If they are working with open source I will suggest your client should be open source. On the other hand if they are using microsoft, then I will suggest you to use Microsoft. Basically, using the same technology as they use will simplify your development life of your client. After you choose that you should then understand how to build the client with the desired technology. For Axis 1.4 or Axis2 you will use wsdl2java. This utility will generate automatically the "stubs". Then, you need to complete the code with your logic. You may also write your own client using the a DYNAMIC INVOCATION INTERFACE method. However the source code for a DII client is more complicated than the code for the other two types of clients. I will suggest you to use the wsdl2java (at least for starting). If you will use Microsoft, then you have to learn about .NET frametwork and choose C# for example as programming language. You probably will need MS visual studio as IDE There you will use the command wsdl.exe (for java wsdl2java, use eclipse with ant). Hope this little introduction was helpfull.
