Is it possible to generate java web-service client using a WSDL file(from local file-system)?
I am working with siebel and Java. siebel developer send me a WSDL file, I need to generate java web-service client. How can I generate client using that WSDL file which is saved on my desktop like a normal file?
I know how to generate web-services clients in Java using eclipse, But eclipse is looking for a WSDL url. which siebel can not provide.
Is there any alternative?
You can do it in eclipse just copy the wsdl file into the project root and then when you click to generate instead of url click browse choose the project and select your wsdl.
Right click on project->new->other

I am writing tests in cucumber for testing the soap service present at the remote server. They also have WSDL defined at the server side. I want to create the client by importing that wsdl file at the run time. I have searched on internet the only I could figure out is by using wsimport command.
But that approach would not be possible if you make parse the WSDL file at runtime and you have client generating code at runtime.
Could you please help me understand how can I make it dynamic meaning reading the WSDL file at runtime and creating client out of it at runtime?
I have WSDL file and for local testing I need to generate mock web service.
Please do not recommend SoapUI.
Can anybody please help how to generate mock web service in Java using WSDL?
One option is to create a Web Services project using an IDE.
This will allow you to create a mock service and also implement your business logic.
As an example, using Eclipse:
Before starting, ensure that:
Eclipse has a server installed (Apache Tomcat)
Your WSDL file have a .wsdl extension (if not, rename as .wsdl)
Now, start Eclipse:
Create a new java "Dynamic Web Project"
Create a folder WebContent\wsdl and copy your WSDL file
Right-click on project > select new "Web Service"
Select:
Web Service type: "Top down Java bean Web Service"
Service definition: browser your WSDL file
Select "Start Service"
Select "Java Proxy / Start Client"
Select both option at the bottom of the form (publish/monitor)
Click next to complete process
At the end, your server should be started and WS deployed - check that your WSDL is available.
Now, you can:
call your WS using Eclipse Web Services Explorer see explorer
implement your WS mockup business logic see method implementation
or use a working java client to call your WS programmatically
Hope this help.
Try using Wiremock. However you will be needing to create and structure json/xml files according to your need. This will give you an better idea. Using WireMock with SOAP Web Services in Java
I am using Play framework 1.2.5 in my application in Eclipse IDE. I need to access a web service built using IBM JAX-RPC. I have got the wsdl file of the web service which I need to access in my applicatiom.
For normal Java EE applications, I used to paste the WSDL in my workspace, generate the files by right clicking the WSDL file => Generate Client option i.e. generating files with the help of Eclipse IDE.
I am not sure how to access the WSDL using Play framework.
I want to know:
1) Where to paste the WSDL file in my workspace?
2) In Play framework how do generate the client (Not sure even if we need this or not in play framework) and access the service methods?
3) Any additional settings needed for accessing the service methods?
Please let me know about this.
Regards,
The easy way:
Use Play!'s built-in play.libs.WS (Link #2 and #3). You have to create the raw HTTP requests yourself, and parse the XML result from the server yourself. Of course, this can become a complex task, if the web service interface is complex.
Preferably, you will create a JAX-RPC client based on your WSDL, and use it from your Play! application.
I've a CXF web service Java classes, I use Eclipse 3.5. I generated the service WSDL file, and it has the <wsdl:types>, but the client that I work for is asking for a separate XSD file, how can I generate it in Eclipse?
If you are using the JavaEE Eclipse (or added all relevant modules to another Eclipse version), right click the class containing your service implementation -> Web Services -> Create Web Service.
Everything should be okay with the default values, just make sure that the first page has the right service implementation class and the page Apache CXF Web Service Java2WS Configuration has the checkboxes Generate WSDL and Generate sparate XSD checked.
I want to generate WSDL compliant with Java classes. At this phase I don't want to put it online, just have the wsdl (in order to discuss it with someone else) and validate the generated file.
I'm using Eclipse, so I would prefer any solution that's already integrated with it.
From eclipse in the java perspective:
Right click on the Java class you want to use as your service implementation
Select Web Services -> Create Web Service
Web service type should be "Botton up Java bean Web Service"
This will generate a WSDL file for you.
Also you can publish the service at localhost with any server (Tomcat, for instance) and then with your browser in the address bar write
http://localhost:<server_port>/path/to/your/service?wsdl
If the service is correctly configured, you should see the generated wsdl. Then you can copy/paste in any text editor and save it as myService.wsdl.
Hope that helps
