RE: How to call a web service from another using Axis: WS Newbie

[Hubble, Christopher]

All you have to do is add the client call to your webservice.  It's pretty easy.  In the server side stubs, just make your two line call to the other service.

Subject: How to call a web service from another using Axis: WS Newbie

Hi folks, I understand this is an annoying newbie questions, but could you please give some hints on how to call a method on another deployed web service from the first.

 

For a school project I have to set up a prototype web service that checks "inventory" from other web services, all I want to do is make a simple service that calls another web service (which pretends to search its database), and return a yes or no back to the first.

 

I am not an experienced programmer and we have been asked to use visual designers such as Websphere and Weblogic, but I would like to use Apache Axis.  Unfortunately, I have found plenty of examples using a J2SE client application to call a web service, but I want a deployed web service to call nother deployed one.  I've tried using the same way, but only got lots of errors. 

 

I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing, can someone please put me on the right track? Any links, examples, etc would be truly appreciated.  I can also be contacted at [EMAIL PROTECTED].

 

Thanks - Ryan.
