Making simple web service call maybe a bit tricky at the beginning. I’m going to provide quick start instruction here,

Required software:

  • Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developer
  • JEE Standard Tools & Axis
    JEE Standard Tools

Configuration steps:

  • Define new JEE service in a workspace
    Defining JEE server
  • Create new plug-in project
    Creating new plug-in project
  • Add following dependencies to the plug-in:
    • org.apache.commons.logging
    • javax.wsdl
    • javax.xml.rpc
    • javax.xml.soap
    • org.apache.commons.discovery
    • org.apache.axis

    Web service client dependencies

  • Generate web service client code
    Generating web service client code

    Generating web service client code based on WSDL

Consume web service:

Using web service in side a plug-in is no different than anyone else. Sample of invoking web service method:

TransportServiceSoap service = new TransportServiceLocator().getTransportServiceSoap();
service.getCities();

Instruction presented above is based on Eclipse 3.4.1 and uses sample web service from http://www.urbanlife.pl/
