SOAP: Generating Stub Code for a Java Client

Generating Stub Code for a Java Client

Use the following steps to generate the stub code for a Java web services client application, using the wsimport tool that is included with the Java Development Kit.

1. Open an xterm or command prompt window and change to the directory that contains the wsimport program, usually JDK_install_dir/bin/.
2. At the command prompt, type wsimport -s source_dir -d classes_dir URL_TO_WSDL and press Enter.
   For example, to generate stub classes for the SAAS version of the Named Resource Service, you might enter the following command:
   wsimport -s output/source -d output/classes http://dev.pb.com/NamedResourceService/services/NamedResourceService?wsdl

After the command has been executed, the generated source .java files are placed within the directory you specified with the -s option, and the compiled .class files are placed within the directory you specified with the -d option.
