JAX-WS Hello World Web service – RPC Style

In this tutorial we are going to see how to create web service end point and client in RPC style SOAP binding . Follow the steps given below to create RPC style SOAP web service
1. Open Eclipse, Select File –> New --> Java Project
2. Create Java Project called WebService
3. Create package com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld under WebService
4. Create Interface HelloWorld under package com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld
HelloWorld.java

package com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld;
 
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Style;
 
@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style = Style.RPC)
public interface HelloWorld {
   @WebMethod
  public String sayHello(String message);
}

5. Create End Point Implementation class HelloWorldImpl under package com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld

HelloWorldImpl.java

package com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld;
 
import javax.jws.WebService;
 
@WebService(endpointInterface = "com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld.HelloWorld")
public class HelloWorldImpl implements HelloWorld {
 
  @Override
   public String sayHello(String message) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      return "Java Tutorials Corner Says " + message;
 }
 
}

6.Create End point publisher class HelloWorldPublisher under package com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld

HelloWorldPublisher .java

package com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld;
 
import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
 
public class HelloWorldPublisher {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      Endpoint.publish("http://localhost:9080/helloworld",
                new HelloWorldImpl());
  }
 
}

7.Now run the end point publisher class . Now your web service is published in the following URL

http://localhost:9080/helloworld

if you run the URL in web browser you can see the following screen

8.You can test the deployed web service by accessing the generated WSDL file via http://localhost:9080/helloworld?wsdl this URL

Generated WDSL file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Published by JAX-WS RI at http://jax-ws.dev.java.net. RI's version is JAX-WS RI 2.2.4-b01. -->
<!-- Generated by JAX-WS RI at http://jax-ws.dev.java.net. RI's version is JAX-WS RI 2.2.4-b01. -->

<part name="arg0" type="xsd:string"/>
</message>
<message name="sayHelloResponse">

</message>

<operation name="sayHello">

<operation name="sayHello">

<input>
<soap:body use="literal" namespace="http://helloworld.jaxws.javatutorialscorner.com/"/>
</input>
<output>
<soap:body use="literal" namespace="http://helloworld.jaxws.javatutorialscorner.com/"/>
</output>
</operation>
</binding>
<service name="HelloWorldImplService">
<port name="HelloWorldImplPort" binding="tns:HelloWorldImplPortBinding">
<soap:address location="http://localhost:9080/helloworld"/>
</port>
</service>
</definitions>

9.You can access the web service in following way

Access the web service using Java Client

Access the web service using wsimport tool

Access the web service using Java Client

1. Create New Java Project called WebServiceClient

2.Create package com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.client under WebServiceClient

3. Create client class HelloWorldClient under com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.client

HelloWorldClient.java

package com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.client;
 
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
 
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.ws.Service;
 
import com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld.HelloWorld;
 
public class HelloWorldClient {
 
  /**
  * @param args
   */
 public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      try {
           URL url = new URL("http://localhost:9080/helloworld?wsdl");
         QName qName = new QName(
                    "http://helloworld.jaxws.javatutorialscorner.com/",
                 "HelloWorldImplService");
           Service service = Service.create(url, qName);
           HelloWorld helloWorld = service.getPort(HelloWorld.class);
          System.out.println("Web Service Message "
                   + helloWorld.sayHello("Hello"));
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
         // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
 
   }
 
}

4. Run the client see the following output in console

Web Service Message Java Tutorials Corner Says Hello

HelloWorldClient.java

Access the web service using wsimport tool

1. Create New Java Project called WebServiceClient

2. Generate client stubs by running the following commads

1.cd %project_home%/src wsimport -s . http://localhost:9080/helloworld?wsdl

1.cd %project_home%/src wsimport -keep http://localhost:9080/helloworld?wsdl

3. You can see the one classes and one interfaces generated in WebServiceClient project’s com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld package.i.e

interface HelloWorld.java

class HelloWorldImplService.java

HelloWorld.java

package com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld;
 
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.jws.WebResult;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
 
 
/**
 * This class was generated by the JAXWS SI.
 * JAX-WS RI 2.0_02-b08-fcs
 * Generated source version: 2.0
 * 
 */
@WebService(name = "HelloWorld", targetNamespace = "http://helloworld.jaxws.javatutorialscorner.com/")
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC)
public interface HelloWorld {
 
 
    /**
     * 
     * @param arg0
     * @return
     *     returns java.lang.String
     */
    @WebMethod
    @WebResult(partName = "return")
    public String sayHello(
        @WebParam(name = "arg0", partName = "arg0")
        String arg0);
 
}

HelloWorldImplService.java

package com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld;
 
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.ws.Service;
import javax.xml.ws.WebEndpoint;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceClient;
 
 
/**
 * This class was generated by the JAXWS SI.
 * JAX-WS RI 2.0_02-b08-fcs
 * Generated source version: 2.0
 * 
 */
@WebServiceClient(name = "HelloWorldImplService", targetNamespace = "http://helloworld.jaxws.javatutorialscorner.com/", wsdlLocation = "http://localhost:9080/helloworld?wsdl")
public class HelloWorldImplService
    extends Service
{
 
    private final static URL HELLOWORLDIMPLSERVICE_WSDL_LOCATION;
 
    static {
        URL url = null;
        try {
            url = new URL("http://localhost:9080/helloworld?wsdl");
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        HELLOWORLDIMPLSERVICE_WSDL_LOCATION = url;
    }
 
    public HelloWorldImplService(URL wsdlLocation, QName serviceName) {
        super(wsdlLocation, serviceName);
    }
 
    public HelloWorldImplService() {
        super(HELLOWORLDIMPLSERVICE_WSDL_LOCATION, new QName("http://helloworld.jaxws.javatutorialscorner.com/", "HelloWorldImplService"));
    }
 
    /**
     * 
     * @return
     *     returns HelloWorld
     */
    @WebEndpoint(name = "HelloWorldImplPort")
    public HelloWorld getHelloWorldImplPort() {
        return (HelloWorld)super.getPort(new QName("http://helloworld.jaxws.javatutorialscorner.com/", "HelloWorldImplPort"), HelloWorld.class);
    }
 
}

4. Create client class HelloWorldClient under com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.client to access the generated service

HelloWorldClient.java

package com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.client;
 
import com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld.HelloWorld;
import com.javatutorialscorner.jaxws.helloworld.HelloWorldImplService;
 
public class HelloWorldClient {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
        HelloWorldImplService service = new HelloWorldImplService();
        HelloWorld helloWorld = service.getHelloWorldImplPort();
        System.out.println("Web Service message : "
             + helloWorld.sayHello("Hello"));
    }
}
