How to generate SOAP stubs in Java?

Question

It's the first I am working with SOAP interface.

I have WSDL that I suppose to generate stub classes from.

I use axistools-maven-plugin but not all classes were generated. For instance, ConnectWithToken wasn't present into generated stubs.

My pom.xml plugins section:

<plugins>
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>axistools-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${axis.version}</version>
    <configuration>
      <urls>
        <url>https://api.e-conomic.com/secure/api1/EconomicWebService.asmx?WSDL</url>
      </urls>
      <outputDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/java</outputDirectory>
      <subPackageByFileName>true</subPackageByFileName>
      <verbose>true</verbose>
      <allElements>true</allElements>
      <indentSize>4</indentSize>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>
</plugins>

Is it the way for me to generate all classes specified into wsdl using above plugin?

Answer 1

My solution was to change SOAP class generator provider. QA helped a lot but I had to adopt solution based on the jaxws-maven-plugin plugin documentation and project.

pom.xml dependencies section:

<dependency>
      <groupId>com.sun.xml.ws</groupId>
      <artifactId>jaxws-rt</artifactId>
      <version>2.2.10</version>
</dependency>

pom.xml build section:

<build>
    <plugins>

        <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.5</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>

                            <goal>wsimport</goal>
                        </goals>

                            </vmArgs>
                            <wsdlUrls>
                                <wsdlUrl>https://api.e-conomic.com/secure/api1/EconomicWebService.asmx?WSDL</wsdlUrl>
                            </wsdlUrls>
                            <sourceDestDir>src/main/java</sourceDestDir>

                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

    </plugins>
</build>
