POConsuming Spring (SOAP) web service in a java servlet
text
Body
copied!<p>Is there any way to consume a SOAP based Spring web service without generating stubs on the client (as suggested by umpteen threads pointing to JAX-WS)? </p> <p>Here is my complete scenario:</p> <p>I have 2 web applications, say APP1 & APP2, both of which have Spring support. APP2 exposes it's APIs as Spring-WS that accept POJOs (Reqeust and Response objects) via. SOAP. Now, I want to call these web services from APP1, but would like to avoid having to create stubs using the WSDL frmo APP2. Is this possible? </p> <p>For more detail, here is one of my web service's operation:</p> <pre><code>@PayloadRoot(localPart = "CreateNewRequest", namespace = "myNameSpace") public CreateNewReqResponse createNewRequest( CreateNewReqRequest requestObj ) throws Exception { NewCase newCase = this.localSpringService.createNewCase( requestObj.getParam1(), requestObj.getParam2() ); CreateNewReqResponse response = this.objectFactory.createCreateNewReqResponse(); CreateNewReqResponseObject responseObject = this.objectFactory .createCreateNewReqResponseObject(); if( null != newCase ) { responseObject.setParam1( newCase.getParam1() ); responseObject.setParam2( newCase.setParam2() ); } responseObject.setCaseRequestedDate( caseRequestedDate ); } response.setResponseObject( responseObject ); return response; } </code></pre> <p>Now, as you can see, the web service method accepts CreateNewReqRequest and returns CreateNewReqResponse. What I am trying to figure out is how can I call this web service from APP1, which does not have any clue about these classes - CreateNewReqRequest and CreateNewReqResponse? Is there no other way other than creating stubs in APP1 (from the WSDL) using JAX-WS?</p> <p>Both the applications in question are our own (that is we have developed them) but run on different servers, because of which APP1 can not call the web service directly - cross-domain policy. Hence, I will writing a servlet in APP1 which will consume the web service exposed by APP2.</p>
