Hello All,
I am beginning to pick up on xfire. I created my first web service in
¡°Application A(Service providing application¡±) with java class User.java and
implentation class UserImpl.java and was able to test it following Tomek's
input with success, so far good. I feel like I am almost there. All my web
service does is return a simple string that it gets.
Now to the part of consuming the service. I have to pass this string from
different ¡°Application B (Service consuming application)¡± . I generated code
using xFire plugin in Application B that generated following classes.
1. User.java
2. UserImpl.java
3. UserClient.java
4. UserPortType.java
5. UserResponse.java
6. ObjectFactory.java
7. package-info.java
Here is the problem, ok I downloaded all the above files to folder called
"com.soa" in application B and to default package. All I need to do now is
just pass a string to Application A and get it back. I want try something like
'User.getMeString ("Srini");
He is the first probelm, as soon as downloaded above file thru plugin , it
downloaded with same package declarations as in Applcation A. But my client
application B doesn't show any errors. I tried to use above classes in my
action classes I get errors as my Application B doesn¡¯t recognize any of the
above classes. My idea was to do something like following in my action class to
import package where I have above classes. When I downloaded to com.soa, it
created com.soa.com.cma.soa (the bold part is from Application A, do not why
that happens)
My plan is to do to import above package into my struts action class so I can
do something like import com.soa.com.cma.soa.*; to get access to above classes.
But I get error saying the package doesn¡¯t exist.
So my questions are. How do I use generated classes in my consumer
application (Application B) to consume and how can I access those classes. If
anyone has sample code to pass a string to a service (of different
application) and get it back and how to make generated classes available to
consuming application I will appreciate it very much.
As of now it seems like it is very easy to generate java classes from wsdl if
you give url location but it seems like your consuming application doesn't
recognize any of those as generated classes still have package declaration from
service provider where as consuming app can't recognize those packages.
Sorry for long text, I am new to xFire and web services. Hope it all make
sense.
Regards,
Srini
