Hi,

Just a post concerning the generation of JAVA webservice client for CXF and AXIS web services via an ANT script.

More information on sites on proxies creation:
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/wsdl-to-java.html
http://axis.apache.org/axis/java/ant/axis-wsdl2java.html

• First, download the CXF and AXIS SDK librairies:
  C:\SDK\axis2-1.7.7
  C:\SDK\cfx-3.0.3
  C:\SDK\jdk1.7.0_17
   
• Create a specific folder for the generated proxies sources (for example, WSProxyGenerator\src_generated)
   
• References all needed libairies (JAR) in your project (for example lib/*.jar)
   
• Create a properties file for the ANT script build.properties:
  view source

  print?

  1	cxf.home=C\:/SDK/cfx-3.0.3

  2	axis.home=C\:/SDK/axis2-1.7.7

   

• Create a ANT script file build.xml containing the ANT targets create_proxy depending of init_proxy, create_proxy_cxf and create_proxy_axis targets:
  view source

  print?

  01	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  02	<project name="ProxiesGenerator" default="create_proxy" basedir=".">

  03	<property file="build.properties" />

  04

  05	<target name="create_proxy" depends="init_proxy,create_proxy_cxf,create_proxy_axis" >

  06

  </target>

  07

  08	<target name="init_proxy">

  09	<fail unless="cxf.home" message="Apache CXF home (cxf.home) not set" />

  10	<path id="cxf.classpath">

  11	<fileset dir="${cxf.home}/lib">

  12	<include name="*.jar" />

  13	</fileset>

  14

  </path>

  15

  16	<fail unless="axis.home" message="Apache AXIS home (axis.home) not set" />

  17

  18	<path id="axis.classpath">

  19	<fileset dir="${axis.home}/lib">

  20	<include name="*.jar" />

  21	</fileset>

  22	<fileset dir="${basedir}/lib">

  23	<include name="*.jar" />

  24	</fileset>

  25

  </path>

  26

  27	<delete includeemptydirs="true">

  28	<fileset dir="${basedir}/src_generated">

  29	<include name="**/*.java" />

  30	</fileset>

  31

  </delete>

  32	<mkdir dir="${basedir}/src_generated" />

  33

  </target>

  34

  35	<target name="create_proxy_cxf">

  36

  </target>

  37

  38	<target name="create_proxy_axis">

  39

  </target>

  40	</project>

   

CXF proxy generation

• Create a file containing the URLs of CXF web services wsdllist_cxf.txt:
  view source

  print?

  1	https://myserver1.java.lu/services/core/MyObjectService?wsdl

  2	https://myserver1.java.lu/services/core/MyObjectService2?wsdl

   

• Create a file for the binding-name simple-binding.xjb
  view source

  print?

  1	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  2	<jaxb:bindings xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"

  3	jaxb:version="2.0" xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"

  4	jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="xjc">

  5	<jaxb:globalBindings>

  6	<xjc:simple />

  7	<xjc:serializable uid="1397139757393" />

  8	</jaxb:globalBindings>

  9	</jaxb:bindings>

   

• Create in the build.xml file the CXF target:
  view source

  print?

  01	<target name="create_proxy_cxf">

  02	<java classname="org.apache.cxf.tools.wsdlto.WSDLToJava" fork="true">

  03	<arg value="-autoNameResolution" />

  04	<arg value="-verbose" />

  05	<arg value="-fe" />

  06	<arg value="jaxws21" />

  07	<arg value="-encoding" />

  08	<arg value="Cp1252" />

  09	<arg value="-d" />

  10	<arg value="${basedir}/src_generated" />

  11	<arg value="-b" />

  12	<arg value="simple-binding.xjb" />

  13	<arg value="-wsdlList" />

  14	<arg value="wsdllist_cxf.txt" />

  15	<classpath>

  16	<path refid="cxf.classpath" />

  17	</classpath>

  18

  </java>

  19

  </target>

   

AXIS proxy generation

• Create in the build.xml file the CXF target:
  view source

  print?

  01	<target name="create_proxy_axis">

  02	<java classname="org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java" fork="true">

  03	<arg value="--verbose" />

  04	<arg value="--Debug" />

  05	<arg value="--output" />

  06	<arg value="${basedir}/src_generated" />

  07	<arg value="-u" />

  08	<arg value="https://myserver2.java.lu/MyWebServices/services/MyWebService?wsdl" />

  09	<classpath>

  10	<path refid="axis.classpath" />

  11	</classpath>

  12

  </java>

  13

  </target>

   

build.xml

 
Execute the ANT script build.xml, the proxies are generated in the src_generated folder:
