How to generate simple java class from WSDL? - java

I want to generate a simple java class from this WSDL url:
https://xyz.pqr.com/Portal/Service.svc?wsdl
How can I do this? I am looking for a tool which can generate the code.

You can use Apache Axis.
It comes with a tool i.e. WSDL2Java converter.
using below command.
wsdl2java.bat -uri [URL of WSDL file] (on Windows)
or
wsdl2java.sh -uri [URL of WSDL file] on Linux
Through this you can generate the Stub classes from WSDL.

For me the best tool for generating java classes for my WCF web service is
http://easywsdl.com/
It uses ksoap2 library and supports complex types (with inheritance), data in attributes, header values and WCF extensions like Guid data type and data contract with IsReference attribute.

Some examples over here might help you: Apache CXF project

Or just use the JDK documentation, from 1.6 on the JDK includes JAX-WS functionality as standard, including the tools to generate client stubs from WSDL using wsimport.

Excluding XSD while generating Java files by WSDL2Java in CXF via Ant

I have 2 WSDL for 2 different services which uses same XSD for Input and Output messages. Now I want to use CXF WSDL2Java by ANT target and create the server java file out of it one by one, but I don't want to recreate the java files in 2nd time which created earlier in 1st time. As both uses same XSD and almost all Input and Output parameter is same but the purpose of the service is different.
Kindly help me how can I achieve this by CXF and ANT.
As CXF documentation says you can configure Ant to parse your XSD: http://cxf.apache.org/docs/wsdl-to-java.html
Maybe you can define two targets, one that results in your XSD files parser and java files created and a second one that does not need to do this. Later you can integrate these two targets with your Ant workflow as you need.

tika-app-1.7.jar vs tika-server-1.7.jar

I wrote a web service in java with using jersey framework that using my apache tika wrapper. That wrapper wraps tika-app-1.7.jar. My question what is the best way: wrap tika-app-1.7.jar or tika-server-1.7.jar or it doesn't matter?
The Tika build consists of a number of components and produces the following main binaries:
tika-core/target/tika-core-*.jar
Tika core library. Contains the core interfaces and classes of Tika, but none of the parser implementations. Depends only on Java 6.
tika-parsers/target/tika-parsers-*.jar
Tika parsers. Collection of classes that implement the Tika Parser interface based on various external parser libraries.
tika-app/target/tika-app-*.jar
Tika application. Combines the above components and all the external parser libraries into a single runnable jar with a GUI and a command line interface.
tika-server/target/tika-server-*.jar
Tika JAX-RS REST application. This is a Jetty web server running Tika REST services as described in this page.
tika-bundle/target/tika-bundle-*.jar
Tika bundle. An OSGi bundle that combines tika-parsers with non-OSGified parser libraries to make them easy to deploy in an OSGi environment.
Tika app is runnable ie.
You can pass commmand line parameters and get the results.
However Tika server runs as http server where you can send and receive http request/response.
Both uses tika core classes to do the job.
If you are writing a wrapper it doesn't matter as the server/commandline code simply never executed.

How to invoke a Web Service using Java

I am new to Web services. I need to invoke a web service whose definition is in http://api.search.live.net/search.wsdl . I need to do a search of any keyword by using this web service.
I search on the net but could not find any solution. Any idea how to invoke the web service. I need to use Java.
Download axis2.
After extracting it, under the bin folder there is a tool called wsdl2java, this is used to generate stubs from the WSDL that can communicate with the webservice.
A sample usage would be:
WSDL2Java -uri http://api.search.live.net/search.wsdl -d xmlbeans -s
look here for more details on that tool.
Besides stubs it will also generate all the objects you need.
Here is a tutorial using axis2 and Eclipse IDE.
I use intelliJ to generate the java code I need from a WSDL. You can then use this code to do SOAP calls.
Give it the WSDL and it will generate the code, some info can be found here:
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/generating-wsdl-document-from-java-code.html
Take a look at http://ws.apache.org/ where you will find Axis2 which is probably what you are looking for.
Note that web-services are more generic term than WSDL and have evolved since WSDL was introduced to the point that most services today speak JSON and alike. See more here RESTEasy or Jersey?

Read complex types from wsdl in java

I'm havving a bit of a trouble finding some way to read the complex types from a wsdl in my Java app. I'm using WSDL4J but it doesn't seem to help me get the complex types. Is there a better lib for this?
Thank you in advance
Java 6 includes JAX-WS RI (the JAX-WS Reference Implementation). Just use wsimport to generate the Java artifacts from the WSDL:
wsimport -d generated http://example.org/stock?wsdl
And create a web service client using them (see this example).
I would just use NetBeans. Create a new Web Service Client, give it the WSDL and you're off and running.

Inline complex types XSD into a WSDL

I'm currently implementing a web service with a few complex types in java using plain JDK and the integrated web server. Is it possible to tell the JDK to inline the generated XSD for complex types into the WSDL instead of referencing to it via xsd:import?
Thank you in advance!
Use -inlineSchemas in the wsgen tool
(never tried, taken from http://java.net/jira/browse/JAX_WS-85)
