I have a web service built on Netbeans in Java where I want to send requests to different endpoints.
Ie, there is a certain method I want my web service to call, but each time from a different endpoint.
Is there a way to do this?
Or alternatively, can I insert into an existing WSDL file, another endpoint and then load the file into a Web service client and then decide within the Web service client to which endpoint I send the method call?

I have been assigned to build SOAP XML web service which does the following:
Listens for a SOAP request from client application that will send the values for 2 parameter(login name, product_id)
Stores the SOAP request/outbound response transaction to a SQL database table
Doing checking if login already exist or not in database. if yes, send response to client. If not, the values store in database and also response back to client
I am planning to do this JAVA.
Can anybody point me in the right direction for how this should be done? Thank you in advance for any feedback.
To build a SOAP XML web service you need web service provider and web service client. To do so there are two approaches:
Top Down
Top down is the proper way of defining rules for the web service for both client and provider. Top down means you have to create a WSDL file first in order to generate stubs out of it to create provider as well as client.
Bottom UP
Bottom is used for legacy application, to expose already existing application as a web service
Wsdl to java is a plugin used to generate stubs(classes) out of wsdl file. After creating wsdl and stubs out of it...you need to mark the pojo's with JAX-B Annotations and service methods(Your web service business logic methods) with JAX-WS Annotations. For this you could use Apache CXF JAX-WS Maven Dependency or others. After that you need to publish an Endpoint for the web service you created using bus and Endpoint class from JAX-WS.
After Exposing out the service, you can use the same wsdl to generate Client or Without creating a client you could test your web service using SOAP UI tool.

Hi I am working with a REST web services in java and I am looking for a solution for handling the reply of the service. I want if client call the service it will pass another URL to the REST service so that it will automatically reply to that service not to client.
Can someone please let me know if we can use Restful web services or something similar to that to service HTTP requests without using a web server
All the Http requests are processed or identified by the servlet or ejb component in java.
1.We must deploy restful services server side code in webserver otherwise we cannot expose our functionality over the network
2.To access the rest resource we can use normal java program or any servlet or other.
3.Without using webserver you cannot expose your rest resource over the network at serverside.
This may sound like a dumb question but i am new to web services.
I followed this tutorial and successfully created a Calculator web service up to the point where i created a local client application that consumed the web service method (A java class with main method which calls the web service method).
My question now is how can i access this method via my browser and set the parameters there, just get an XML/JSON result.
My guess is that i am missing something and i have to publish the web service somehow.
Any solutions, links are highly appreciated.
You have hosted your webservice on glassfish server. Now you want to consume it using internet browser like you did it using test webservice option in net beans.
That means you need to built your own client which runs on web browser.
You need to built a webpage having two input fields in it and a button as result and whenever you hit this button call your webservice and display it's result. You can follow any simple tutorial of web client or application and again you can deployed it on glassfish or apache server.
Also you can use soapui (a client to consume web services) to import your wsdl and access its methods, providing inputs and get result in form of soap.
I have webservice in .Net, i exposed to some external system. That system have only java. Then how it will access that .net method to java. vice versa.
You should be able to import the WSDL on the java side and use the client to call the web service.
If it's a SOAP service, the Java client needs to do what every client of your service will do: access the WSDL, create an XML message, package in into the SOAP envelop, and POST an HTTP request to the URL.
That's the beauty of HTTP based web services, SOAP or REST: any client that can GET or POST an appropriate HTTP request can use it.
First get the url of WSDL file. For that with URL of a Web service appended the "?wsdl" string. Then create a web service client in java. Use following instructions to create web service client in java "netbeans".
In your netbeans project right click > New >other
Then in web services > web service client
then click next
then select Radio button WSDL URL then paste url of WSDL file and then click Finish
