How to correctly specify the wsdl location in JAX-WS?

I received a code recently for a JAX-WS client application, where I saw that a wsdl was specified locally in order to build the endpoint. But it was specified statically, and I do not think this is right. 

static {
    URL url = null;
   try {
      url = new URL("file:/home/user/work/src/proj/myproject.wsdl");
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    WSDL_LOCATION = url;
}

This is not the correct way to do it is it? What is another way to specify the location of this wsdl?

Solution

  • You can place the wsdl in your classpath and refer to it as below:

    URL url = ClassLoader.getResource("myproject.wsdl");

    Or

    URL url = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("myproject.wsdl");
