Please help, all I have is WSDL, URI and that's it...!

Question

I have a standalone Java application, which needs to call a webservice and several methods on that service. All I have is a WSDL file for the service, and the URI to call it. I have RAD 6, but I haven't done much work with web services. Can someone please tell me what I should be doing? I have generated two objects (a ...BindingImpl) and ...PortType, but not sure how to use them. I understand the principal of setting up a Call and Invoking it - but the WSDL stuff is confusing me!
If you want to take a look at the WSDL then please let me know and I can attach or paste etc. I have been trying (in vain) to use what I know already, i.e. the Call and invoke above, but it's not working (there is no problem with the web service itself).
Many thanks!
Matt

Answer 1

I'm new to web services but I'll provide steps working for me:
0/ Get jwdsp (http://java.sun.com/webservices/jwsdp/)
You need wscompile from that - in dir jaxrpc/bin.
1/ create config , example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/config">
<wsdl location="service.wsdl"
packageName="company.soap.service">
</wsdl>
2/ run wscompile to genrate code :
wscompile.bat -s out -keep -gen config.xml
3/ in *Stub.java set properties:
setProperty(ENDPOINTADDRESS_PROPERTY,"URL");
setProperty(USERNAMEPROPERTY, "login");
setProperty(PASSWORDPROPERTY, "password");
setProperty(SESSIONMAINTAIN_PROPERTY, true);
4/ call the service
company.soap.service.SomeServices_Impl ws = new company.soap.service.SomeServices_Impl();
company.soap.service.SomeServicesPortType wsPort = ws.getSomeWsServicesPort();
String wsResponse = wsPort.ADSLcheck(params);
</configuration>
