ESB service client creation

Question

I need to develop a graphical client for exchange information with the server, where a service runs (wso2 esb). I have no knowledge about it except that it exchanges information in XML as I understand. I am planning the client in Java. And I dont need to deal with the server side of the stuff. How does the client communicate with the bus? + WHat are the steps to get messages from the bus? + What can I read about it (the problem is I have knowledge of Servlets and other web components - i dont know anything about ejbs except they are object in the ejb container) - how can I at least understand what services are like?

Answer 1

Artem, As a start you need to do is: 1. Ask for information about how to access the (web-)service. (more specifically WSDL)
2. If they are running Wso2 Esb, its very easy to generate client side code ( in java) using just a few clicks ( so ask for that too !) 3. Once you have auto generated code you can develop GUI on top of it.

For more information about generating client side code refer to: http://docs.wso2.org/display/ESB403/WSDL2Java
