Hello all,
I've been creating web services based on WSDL files, using Eclipse's "Web Service" wizard and deploying on Axis2 without much difficulty. At first, I tested my services by using the Web Services Explorer within Eclipse. Now, I'd like to build my own client to access the web services sitting in my Tomcat6/Axis2 server. Looking over the "Web Service Client" wizard's documentation, it appears that this wizard should be able to automatically generate JSP as a test-client. Unfortunately, I can't seem to access this functionality. So my questions: 1) Has the functionality been deprecated? 2) Is there something that would cause this functionality (i.e. generating a JSP test client) to be unavailable? 3) Is this functionality only available on Axis1 (I'm using Axis2), or would the version even be an issue on the client side? 4) Currently, I specify the client project to be an existing "Dynamic Web Project". Is there another project type that I should be using? Side note: Aside from the wsdl2java and associated Eclipse "Web Service Client" wizard, are there any tutorials on building web clients that can interface with a web service? I'd like to steer clear of proprietary (e.g. Microsoft) solutions, and stick with stuff like JSP, JavaScript, Java, PHP, etc. Currently, I've got two books on the subject (ISBNs: 0672326418 and 0321396855), but they rely on the wsdl2java tool or the wizard mentioned above. Thanks! Matt
