Given a WSDL file, create a simple Java client

Can anyone please provide me with a sample code for this? I have a wsdl file, and I want to create a client that will call a service from that wsdl file
A working code with some explanation will be really helpful.

I'm using JDK 1.4.

You can do it from command line using wsimport provided by JAX-WS

wsimport -keep -s (output folder) urlToWsdl

> ex : wsimport -keep -s {homeDirectory}/OutputFolder https://www.example.com

PS: while using non-standard SOAP 1.2 binding. You must specify the "-extension" option to use this binding.

Eclipse is having the option to generate java client.
Just Right click on the WSDL file
Generate Web Service Client
Thatz all. You get the client to invoke the SOAP Service

NetBeans can generate a lot of that code for you: File -> New File... -> Web Serices -> Web Service Client

The main options are to use:

  1. JAX-WS, using the wsimport tool.
  2. Apache AXIS2, using wsdl2java.

Both links provide code examples. Some searching on the web will get you even farther. There are also options for creating dynamic SOAP clients but the generated ones are easiest.

One of the many possible tools is WSDL2Java. In a shell:

$ java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java foo.wsdl

I've seen Apache Axis do this automatically. You may want to try that to get to know a little about it.
