Hi,

Just a post concerning the generation of JAVA webservice client for CXF and AXIS web services via an ANT script.

More information on sites on proxies creation:
http://cxf.apache.org/docs/wsdl-to-java.html
http://axis.apache.org/axis/java/ant/axis-wsdl2java.html

• First, download the CXF and AXIS SDK librairies:
  C:\SDK\axis2-1.7.7
  C:\SDK\cfx-3.0.3
  C:\SDK\jdk1.7.0_17
   
• Create a specific folder for the generated proxies sources (for example, WSProxyGenerator\src_generated)
   
• References all needed libairies (JAR) in your project (for example lib/*.jar)
   
• Create a properties file for the ANT script build.properties:

  cxf.home=C\:/SDK/cfx-3.0.3
  axis.home=C\:/SDK/axis2-1.7.7
  

   

• Create a ANT script file build.xml containing the ANT targets create_proxy depending of init_proxy, create_proxy_cxf and create_proxy_axis targets:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <project name="ProxiesGenerator" default="create_proxy" basedir=".">
  	<property file="build.properties" />
  
  	<target name="create_proxy" depends="init_proxy,create_proxy_cxf,create_proxy_axis" >
  	</target>
  	
  	<target name="init_proxy">
  		<fail unless="cxf.home" message="Apache CXF home (cxf.home) not set" />
  		<path id="cxf.classpath">
  			<fileset dir="${cxf.home}/lib">
  				<include name="*.jar" />
  			</fileset>
  		</path>
  
  		<fail unless="axis.home" message="Apache AXIS home (axis.home) not set" />
  
  		<path id="axis.classpath">
  			<fileset dir="${axis.home}/lib">
  				<include name="*.jar" />
  			</fileset>
  			<fileset dir="${basedir}/lib">
  				<include name="*.jar" />
  			</fileset>
  		</path>
  
  		<delete includeemptydirs="true">
  			<fileset dir="${basedir}/src_generated">
  				<include name="**/*.java" />
  			</fileset>
  		</delete>
  		<mkdir dir="${basedir}/src_generated" />
  	</target>
  
  	<target name="create_proxy_cxf">
  	</target>
  
  	<target name="create_proxy_axis">
  	</target>
  </project>
  

   

CXF proxy generation

• Create a file containing the URLs of CXF web services wsdllist_cxf.txt:

  https://myserver1.java.lu/services/core/MyObjectService?wsdl
  https://myserver1.java.lu/services/core/MyObjectService2?wsdl
  

   

• Create a file for the binding-name simple-binding.xjb

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <jaxb:bindings xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
  	jaxb:version="2.0" xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"
  	jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="xjc">
  	<jaxb:globalBindings>
  		<xjc:simple />
  		<xjc:serializable uid="1397139757393" />
  	</jaxb:globalBindings>
  </jaxb:bindings>
  

   

• Create in the build.xml file the CXF target:

  	<target name="create_proxy_cxf">
  		<java classname="org.apache.cxf.tools.wsdlto.WSDLToJava" fork="true">
  			<arg value="-autoNameResolution" />
  			<arg value="-verbose" />
  			<arg value="-fe" />
  			<arg value="jaxws21" />
  			<arg value="-encoding" />
  			<arg value="Cp1252" />
  			<arg value="-d" />
  			<arg value="${basedir}/src_generated" />
  			<arg value="-b" />
  			<arg value="simple-binding.xjb" />
  			<arg value="-wsdlList" />
  			<arg value="wsdllist_cxf.txt" />
  			<classpath>
  				<path refid="cxf.classpath" />
  			</classpath>
  		</java>
  	</target>
  

   

AXIS proxy generation

• Create in the build.xml file the CXF target:

  	<target name="create_proxy_axis">
  		<java classname="org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java" fork="true">
  			<arg value="--verbose" />
  			<arg value="--Debug" />
  			<arg value="--output" />
  			<arg value="${basedir}/src_generated" />
  			<arg value="-u" />
  			<arg value="https://myserver2.java.lu/MyWebServices/services/MyWebService?wsdl" />
  			<classpath>
  				<path refid="axis.classpath" />
  			</classpath>
  		</java>
  	</target>
  

   

build.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="ProxiesGenerator" default="create_proxy" basedir=".">
	<property file="build.properties" />

	<target name="create_proxy" depends="init_proxy,create_proxy_cxf,create_proxy_axis" >
	</target>
	
	<target name="init_proxy">
		<fail unless="cxf.home" message="Apache CXF home (cxf.home) not set" />
		<path id="cxf.classpath">
			<fileset dir="${cxf.home}/lib">
				<include name="*.jar" />
			</fileset>
		</path>

		<fail unless="axis.home" message="Apache AXIS home (axis.home) not set" />

		<path id="axis.classpath">
			<fileset dir="${axis.home}/lib">
				<include name="*.jar" />
			</fileset>
			<fileset dir="${basedir}/lib">
				<include name="*.jar" />
			</fileset>
		</path>

		<delete includeemptydirs="true">
			<fileset dir="${basedir}/src_generated">
				<include name="**/*.java" />
			</fileset>
		</delete>
		<mkdir dir="${basedir}/src_generated" />
	</target>

	<target name="create_proxy_cxf">
		<java classname="org.apache.cxf.tools.wsdlto.WSDLToJava" fork="true">
			<arg value="-autoNameResolution" />
			<arg value="-verbose" />
			<arg value="-fe" />
			<arg value="jaxws21" />
			<arg value="-encoding" />
			<arg value="Cp1252" />
			<arg value="-d" />

			<arg value="-b" />
			<arg value="simple-binding.xjb" />
			<arg value="-wsdlList" />
			<arg value="wsdllist_cxf.txt" />
			<classpath>
				<path refid="cxf.classpath" />
			</classpath>
		</java>
	</target>

	<target name="create_proxy_axis">
		<java classname="org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java" fork="true">
			<arg value="--verbose" />
			<arg value="--Debug" />
			<arg value="--output" />
			<arg value="${basedir}/src_generated" />
			<arg value="-u" />
			<arg value="https://myserver2.java.lu/MyWebServices/services/MyWebService?wsdl" />
			<classpath>
				<path refid="axis.classpath" />
			</classpath>
		</java>
	</target>
</project>

 
Execute the ANT script build.xml, the proxies are generated in the src_generated folder:

Buildfile: C:\Workspaces\WSProxyGenerator\build.xml
