Hi Avi,
for your second question , you may use a RPC style client. Axis2
provide RPCServiceClient class for this , it does not require to
build AXIOM tree your self . following example illustrate how you
could invoke RPCServiceClient.
URL wsdlURL = new
URL("http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/SimpleService?wsdl";);
QName operationName = new QName("http://my";,
"helloService");
RPCServiceClient dynamicClient = new
RPCServiceClient(null,
wsdlURL,null, null);
// provide the parameters as an object array and
return types as
an class array
Object[] returnArray =
dynamicClient.invokeBlocking(operationName,
new Object[] {
"my msg" }, new Class[] { String.class });
System.out.println(returnArray[0]);
This approach work fine with any simple type , but the limitation is
with complex types you have to make available exact Java classes
that correspond to the complex types in client side too, I don't
think you can use generated stub classes with this approach too.
Thanks ,
