Generating proxies from WSDL utility

Question

Hey ..
Does BEA give a utility to generate client webservice proxy classes from a WSDL
I mean ..instead of any server classes to run clientgen..I have just the WSDL
and I need to generate the proxy classes for myself..I guess it defeats the purpose
of webservices(integration)..if I have to ask the webservice deployer for client
classes ..!
Thanx,
Krish

Manoj , u sure this is a valid link ...coz I cannot see a wsdl athttp://example.com/myapp/myservice.wsdl..
This should be the url to your wsdl. (the wsdl from which you want
to generate the service). You can also copy the wsdl to your local
machine and use the file url.

and is there any WLS70 dependency for me to generate these proxies ...Imean do
I need anything from WLS70 (jar files etc)for me to do this task ...?You need wls70. the clientgen ant task is provided by wls70.

BTW.. just to update u on our other issue we talked about...have a look atthe
below trace...Thanx,Krish
Shridhar ...
Couple of things ...
1) We will ask the webservice provider put the CR080927_70sp1.jar intheir classpath.
But instead of they generating the client-jar and runningVersionMaker on
this to give us the output , can we do this on ourside...
I understand that there is a way in which the client itself generatestheir
own proxies from the wsdl...In case we can do this ...isCR080927_70sp1.jar required
on
the client side also for generating the proxies...or is it required onthe
WLS70 side only at runtime...once we generate these proxies ourselves thenfor
compiling our 6.0 client and running it , I will use the output ofversionMaker
and wsclient70.jar.
2) Can u possibly mail me the patched jar files which u mention below byemail...and
send me a confirmation email saying u have sent it..coz we seem to havesome firewall
issues going to an outside ftpserver....and the confirmation mail is onlyincase
u send the mail and I do not get it coz of the size etc ..
Thanx,
Krish

Subject: Invoking 7.0 WS from 6.0 WS client [ Case 367229 ]
Hello Krishnan,
Firstly, your present configuration (involving the use of a SessionBeanin 6.0sp1
as WS client calling into a WS hosted in 7.0sp1) where you are using 7.0webserviceclient.jar
alongside 6.0 weblogic.jar is not supported, nay non-viable. The result ofsuch
a configuration would lead to NoSuchMethodError exceptions which you haveseen
at your end.
Secondly, in order to solve this we need to use portable stubs for WSclients,
a feature, that has been included in
7.0 SP02 ! We, however have made this feature available on 7.0 SP01 aswell in
the form of a one-off patch !
And the following is a procedure for enabling this on 7.0SP01 :
- Add the one-off patch ( CR080927_70sp1.jar ) at the beginning of theCLASSPATH
in your 7.0 server startup script. Ensure that you restart the server forthis
to kick in.
- Generate the client jar for the 7.0 WS
- Run the weblogic.webservice.tools.versioning.VersionMaker utility bysupplying
the client jar to generate re-versioned classes.
- Compile the WS client in 6.0 by supplying the re-versioned classes(generated
from VersionMaker ) and wsclient70.jar (note wsclient70.jar should workwith
6.x versions)
- Run the WS client in 6.0 by supplying the re-versioned classes(generated from
VersionMaker ) and wsclient70.jar
Lastly, please find/download the following files from our FTP server(ftpsupport.beasys.com)

CR080927_70sp1.jar - one-off patch for 7.0sp01
wsclient70.jar - this would be used instead ofwebserviceclient.jar by
6.x WS client/s

Sure. you can generate client from a WSDL.
Please try this:
<clientgen wsdl="http://example.com/myapp/myservice.wsdl"
packageName="myapp.myservice.client"
clientJar="c:/myapps/myService_client.jar"/>
regards,
