Problem getting client working from just WSDL

[acxsjones]

I have a simple EJB "HelloWorld" that I am trying to get a client connected to.

I have gen'd this as RPC literal style. When I do this. The gen'd code from the client stub is incorrect. I changed the gen'd sub and added items to the constructor on QName for the param and return and it works.

I have also changed to document style and then the server has problem with these two items.

Any help would be great.

*********************

Client Stub as Gen'd

 static {
 _operations = new org.apache.axis.description.OperationDesc[1];
 org.apache.axis.description.OperationDesc oper;
 oper = new org.apache.axis.description.OperationDesc();
 oper.setName("hello");
 oper.addParameter(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("", "in0"), new javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "string"), java.lang.String.class, org.apache.axis.description.ParameterDesc.IN, false, false);
 oper.setReturnType(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "string"));
 oper.setReturnClass(java.lang.String.class);
 oper.setReturnQName(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("", "helloResponse"));
 oper.setStyle(org.apache.axis.enum.Style.RPC);
 oper.setUse(org.apache.axis.enum.Use.LITERAL);
 _operations[0] = oper;

 }

Code changes made to make it work. I added the items in the QName constructor.

 static {
 _operations = new org.apache.axis.description.OperationDesc[1];
 org.apache.axis.description.OperationDesc oper;
 oper = new org.apache.axis.description.OperationDesc();
 oper.setName("hello");
 oper.addParameter(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://helloworld.ejb.test.acxiom.com", "in0"), new javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "string"), java.lang.String.class, org.apache.axis.description.ParameterDesc.IN, false, false);
 oper.setReturnType(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "string"));
 oper.setReturnClass(java.lang.String.class);
 oper.setReturnQName(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://helloworld.ejb.test.acxiom.com", "helloResponse"));
 oper.setStyle(org.apache.axis.enum.Style.RPC);
 oper.setUse(org.apache.axis.enum.Use.LITERAL);
 _operations[0] = oper;

 }

Look at the JBossWS wiki page.

First stop would be the "FAQ" at the beginning of this forum.

Bottomline, we do not support axis generated client stubs. Try Dynamic Proxy
or DII model.

[acxsjones]

I have been looking at the examples that are out there and the jboss-build.xml from the jboss-dukes-bank project.

I was able to get that working. But what I am looking for is an example of client code that starts with the WSDL gen'd from the server side. Can you point me to some sample client code that starts with wsdl and can connect to the EJB gen'd in the duke's bank example.

Any and all help would be wonderful

Take a look at this wiki for writing a client app http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=WSClientAppl. Keep in mind that J2EE client apps require a portion to be deployed on the server.

[acxsjones]

I have looked at that. I used the endPoint from the EJB.

I just want to distribute the WSDL to my EJB and work from there. I have a client working using the endpoint from the EJB.

Are you able to just hand out the WSDL to a client and have them access your webservice deployed under JBossWS

[thomas.diesler]

Of course, any SOAP stack should be able to generate the client side artifacts from a given WSDL. Remember, client and server are fundamentatlly disconnected in web services.

The wiki is talking about WS4EE clients, that is a portable WS client in Java that can be deployed on any J2EE-1.4 compatible app server. Is your client using an app server?

As Anil said correctly, generated Axis clients do not enter the WS4EE game. It maybe your choice to use an Axis client, but then you should not use jboss jars neither would this be the right forum to ask your questions regarding a non WS4EE client.
