The first CXF Service - 2

In the previous post we created and deployed the Echo webservice. Now to test the same. For this I created a simple client.

private static User getUserInstance() {
 User user = new User();
 user.setId(1L);
 user.setName("Test");
 user.setWeight(new BigDecimal("76"));
 return user;
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
 final String TARGET_NAMESPACE = "http://www.cfx.ws/";
 final String endpointAddress = "http://localhost:8080/WithSpring/services/echo";
 final String wsdlUrl = endpointAddress + "?wsdl";
 URL wsdlLocation = new URL(wsdlUrl);

 final QName SERVICE_NAME = new QName(TARGET_NAMESPACE, "EchoImplService");
 final QName PORT_NAME = new QName(TARGET_NAMESPACE, "EchoImplPort");

 // Service objects provide the client view of a Web service.
 final Service service = Service.create(wsdlLocation, SERVICE_NAME);

 // Creates a new port for the service. Ports created in this way contain
 // no WSDL port type information and can only be used for creating Dispatchinstances.
 service.addPort(PORT_NAME, SOAPBinding.SOAP11HTTP_BINDING, endpointAddress);

 IEcho echoStub = service.getPort(IEcho.class);
 System.out.println(echoStub.echoHi("are u there"));
 System.out.println(echoStub.echoHiToUser(getUserInstance()));
}

The code:

1. created qualified names for the service and the port. 
2. It created Service objects that provide the client view of a Web service. 
3. It then created a new port for the service – indicating the messaging format and the endpoint address to use. 
4. Next step was to acquire a stub from the service object. 
5. It executed the two exposed operations I had made the IEcho and User classes available at the client. In a normal project the same would be achieved by generating the java classes from the wsdl.

The output at the client is as below (for the first call):

This completes the client.
