||Mohammed: The JAX-WS support in CXF makes creating client proxy for your web services quite straight-forward. You can create the client dynamically at run time without any elaborate setup.
This is done using pure JAX-WS code so it works with a number of compliant runtimes: CXF, Metro, JBossWS, etc. (though you do need set up a META-INF/services ws provider hook to use JBossWS). In any case, I suggest you stick with the CXF runtime, but use it through GroovyWS "client" jar. http://groovy.codehaus.org/GroovyWS Download the "client" WS jar, the second (obscure) "here" link under "Distributions". Trust me. Its Groovy, but it is a simplification, even if you don't want to run Groovy. This jar is a convenient packaging of CXF's client support. But note, you can run Groovy which, as you can see, is a simple client.. To run Grooby, you will need the Groovy jar as well in your classpath. All you need to do for Groovy is to modify the sample Groovy client code putting in the URL string that fetches your service's WSDL. Make sure the GroovyWS jar appears early in the runtime classpath, ahead of the JRE runtime jars. If you fail to do this, the Sun JRE (for instance) will try to use the Sun JAX-WS implementation, but this is not included in the Sun JSE support. Since you need a Java client (instead of Groovy), then you need a slightly more complex setup. There are 3 inputs (which may be hard coded): 1) a URL (object) constructed using the string that was used in the Groovy client,, 2) a service name (as QName object) as it appears in this WSDL and 3) a port name (another QName object) port within the service definition, again in conformance with the WSDL. Then you construct a proxy for the web service, where the proxy implements your Service Endpoint Interface (interface class for the service). This proxy is your client. the code is something like this (illustrated here as JUnit set up). Fairly straight-forward. The WSDL is interpreted as runt time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- import javax.xml.namespace.QName; import javax.xml.ws.Service; import junit.framework.TestCase; import my.services.Worker; import org.junit.Before; import org.junit.Test; public class TestGWSonJAX extends TestCase { private Worker worker; @Before public void setUp() throws Exception { URL url = new URL("http://127.0.0.1:8080/gws/WorkerImpl?wsdl";); QName serviceName = new QName("http://services.my/","WorkerService";); QName portName = new QName("http://services.my/","WorkerImplPort";); Service service = Service.create(url,serviceName); worker = service.getPort(portName,Worker.class); } @Test public void testBasic( ) throws Exception { assertNotNull(worker); String result = worker.doWork(); assertNotNull(result); } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dan Connelly Mohammad Shamsi wrote: > hi, > > i want to use some JAX WS in a Java EE application. > > the web service has been developed. and i just have to write client to use > this services. > > some of web services are Servlet Base and others are EJB based. > > question : can i use CXF for developing web service client for this project > ? > >
