Page Edited : CXF20DOC : How do I develop a client? How do I develop a client? has been edited by Dan Diephouse (Jun 18, 2007). (View changes) Content: CXF provides you with many options to build clients for your services. This guide is meant to give you a quick overview of those options and help you orient yourself quickly with CXF. Building Clients WSDL2Java generated Client JAX-WS Dispatch APIs JAX-WS Proxy Simple Frontend Client Dynamic Client Building Clients WSDL2Java generated Client One of the most common scenarios is that where you have a service which you may or not manage and this service has a WSDL. In this case you'll often want to generate a client from the WSDL. This provides you with a strongly typed interface by which to interact with the service. Once you've generated a client, typical usage of it will look like so: HelloService service = new HelloService(); Hello client = service.getHelloHttpPort(); String result = client.sayHi("Joe"); The WSDL2Java tool will generate a JAX-WS clients from your WSDL. You can run it one of three ways: The command line The Maven Plugin With the WSDL2Java API For more in depth information read Developing a JAX-WS consumer or see the Hello World demos inside the distribution. JAX-WS Dispatch APIs JAX-WS provides "dispatch" mechanism which makes it easy to dynamically invoke services which you have not generated a client for. Using the Dispatch mechanism you can create messages (which can be JAXB objects, Source objects, or a SAAJMessage) and dispatch them to the server. A simple example might look like this: URL wsdlURL = new URL("http://localhost/hello?wsdl"); Service s = Service.create(new QName("HelloService"), wsdlURL); Dispatch<Source> disp = service.createDispatch(new QName("HelloPort"), Source.class, Service.Mode.PAYLOAD); Source request = new StreamSource("<hello/>") Source response = disp.invoke(request); NOTE: you can also use dispatches without a WSDL. For more in depth information see the Hello World demos inside the distribution. JAX-WS Proxy Simple Frontend Client The simple frontend provides a class called ClientProxyFactoryBean which creates a Java proxy with your service interface to talk to your service which was created with the simple frontend. For more information see the Simple Frontend documentation. Dynamic Client
