In general, you build a web service client implemented within a Java application or a web application just as you would build any other project. As with other projects, the IDE automatically detects whether a project is part of a J2EE application and sets whether to package the archive files on the classpath accordingly. You can adjust which archive files are packaged with your module in the module project's Project Properties dialog box.
However, the wscompile tool is run as part of the build process. It generates the web service client from the WSDL file that describes the web service's external interface. The wscompile tool provides features that you can set to optimize the resulting web service client.
To build the web service client:
To customize the wscompile tool's features:
Feature | Effect on Web Service Client |
---|---|
datahandleronly | Maps attachments to the DataHandler type. |
donotoverride | No regeneration of classes that already exist on the classpath. |
donounwrap | Disables unwrapping of document/literal wrapper elements in WSI mode (default). |
explicitcontext | Turns on explicit service context mapping. |
jaxbenumtype | Maps anonymous enumeration to its base type. |
nodatabinding | Turns off data binding for literal encoding. |
noencodedtypes | Turns off encoding type information. |
nomultirefs | Turns off support for multiple references. |
norpcstructures | No generation of RPC structures (-import only). |
novalidation | Turns off full validation of imported WSDL documents. |
resolveidref | Resolve xsd:IDREF. |
searchschema | Searches schema aggressively for types. |
serializeinterfaces | Turns on direct serialization of interface types. |
strict | Generates code strictly compliant with JAXRPC Specification. |
unwrap | Enables unwrapping of document/literal wrapper elements in WSI mode. |
wsi | Checks for compliance with the WSI-Basic Profile, which is a specification for improved interoperability. For example, the WS-I Basic Profile prohibits the use of rpc/encoded. Therefore, if you set the wsi feature, a warning will be generated when you build a web service client that uses a WSDL file that uses rpc/encoded. |
