Client Implementation Code - 8.0

This example shows the Java code that implements the HelloWorld client. In summary, the client connects to the SoapPort port on the SOAPService service and then proceeds to invoke each of the operations supported by the Greeter port type.

package demo.hw.client;

import java.io.File;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter;
import org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.PingMeFault;
import org.apche.hello_world_soap_http.SOAPService;

public final class Client {

   private static final QName SERVICE_NAME = 
      new QName("http://apache.org/hello_world_soap_http", 
      "SOAPService");

   private Client() {}

   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
      if (args.length == 0) {
         System.out.println("please specify wsdl");
         System.exit(1);
      }

      URL wsdlURL;
      File wsdlFile = new File(args[0]);
      if (wsdlFile.exists()) {
         wsdlURL = wsdlFile.toURL();
      } else {
         wsdlURL = new URL(args[0]);
      }

      System.out.println(wsdlURL);
      SOAPService ss = new SOAPService(wsdlURL, SERVICE_NAME);
      Greeter port = ss.getSoapPort();
      String resp;

      System.out.println("Invoking sayHi...");
      resp = port.sayHi();
      System.out.println("Server responded with: " + resp);
      System.out.println();

      System.out.println("Invoking greetMe...");
      resp = port.greetMe(System.getProperty("user.name"));
      System.out.println("Server responded with: " + resp);
      System.out.println();

      System.out.println("Invoking greetMeOneWay...");
      port.greetMeOneWay(System.getProperty("user.name"));
      System.out.println("No response from server as method is OneWay");
      System.out.println();
 
      try {
         System.out.println("Invoking pingMe, expecting exception...");
         port.pingMe();
      } catch (PingMeFault ex) {
         System.out.println(
            "Expected exception: PingMeFault has occurred.");
         System.out.println(ex.toString());
      }
      System.exit(0);
   }
}

The Client.main() function from the above example proceeds as follows:
