Synchronous invocation

For consumers that make synchronous invocations that generate a response, you use the Dispatch object's invoke() method shown bellow.

T invoke(T msg) throws WebServiceException;

The type of both the response and the request passed to the invoke() method are determined when the Dispatch object is created. For example if you created a Dispatch object using createDispatch(portName, SOAPMessage.class, Service.Mode.MESSAGE) the response and the request would both be SOAPMessage objects.

The code below makes a synchronous invocation on a remote service using a DOMSource object.

// Creating a DOMSource Object for the request
DocumentBuilder db = DocumentBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document requestDoc = db.newDocument();
Element root = requestDoc.createElementNS(
   "http://org.apache.cxf/stockExample", "getStockPrice");
root.setNodeValue("DOW");
DOMSource request = new DOMSource(requestDoc);

// Dispatch disp created previously
DOMSource response = disp.invoke(request);
