JSR-181 by itself is server side only. When you develop a client to talk to a JSR-181 endpoint, you have to consume the wsdl using a tool (wstools), and generate a mapping file. You also can not reuse any of the annotated interfaces because the client and server are fundamentally disconnected, they might be different.

JAX-WS solves this problem by describing how to use the annotations on the client side. When we release a Java EE 5 compliant server (jbossws 2.0) you will be able to do this. Until then you will have to use the standard Java EE 1.4 client API.

What I should do to connect some public webservice in the Internet (like http://www.webservicex.net/WCF/ServiceDetails.aspx?SID=48)?
I create small client method:

 @Test
 public void weather() {
 QName serviceQName = new QName("http://www.webserviceX.NET", "GlobalWeather");

 try {
 ServiceFactory factory = ServiceFactory.newInstance();
 assertNotNull(factory);

 String endpoint = "http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx?wsdl";
 URL url = new URL(endpoint);
 assertNotNull(url);

 Service service = factory.createService(url, serviceQName);
 assertNotNull(service);

 Call call = service.createCall();

 QName methodQName = new QName("http://www.webserviceX.NET", "GetWeather");
 call.setOperationName(methodQName);
 assertFalse(call.isParameterAndReturnSpecRequired(methodQName));

 call.setTargetEndpointAddress(endpoint);

 QName typeName = call.getPortTypeName();
 assertNotNull(typeName);

 System.out.println(typeName);

 call.invoke(new Object[] {"London", "UK"});


 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace(); File | Settings | File Templates.
 }
 }

When I try to execute this I receive exception:

org.jboss.ws.WSException: Cannot obtain java type mapping for: {http://www.webserviceX.NET}>GetWeather

Where I should get jaxrpc-mapping.xml for this public ws?

[thomas.diesler]

Try jaxws

http://jbws.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php/JAX-WS_User_Guide#Web_Service_Clients

[poyge394]

 URL wsdlLocation = new URL("http://example.org/my.wsdl");
 QName serviceName = new QName("http://example.org/sample", "MyService");
 Service service = Service.create(wsdlLocation, serviceName);

Service.create does not exists.

[paoletto]

Your DII client does not have a jaxrpc-mapping.xml. You can use

ServiceFactoryImpl.createService(wsdlURL, serviceName, mappingURL)

how is this approach changed now?

Hi,

I have been working several days with this issue. At last this problem is caused in the Client application. In my case a web app. It was not able to recognize the type that the server was returning (ArrayList in this case).

Another important thing, correct me if I am wrong, is that Web Services Soap Messages not support ArrayList directly, so if you would like to use it you must implement an ArrayList by yourself. A pretty hard work. The thing that I have done is to return an Array (suported by the Web Services) of my own objects, that I have mapped previously.

My solution was to create a Web Service Client using Eclipse Wtp. It creates a EAR that includes all the necessary stuff for map the user types.
