Example

java2ws -wsdl -d ./resource org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter
java2ws -cp ./tmp org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter -wsdl
java2ws -o hello.wsdl -wsdl org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter
java2ws -client -server -s ./src org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter
java2ws -wrapperbean -classdir ./classes org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter

Arguments

Options

The options The arguments used to manage the code generation process are reviewed in the following table.

...

You must include the classname argument. All other arguments are optional and may be listed in any order. This tool will search and load the service endpoint class and types classes. Make certain these classes are on the CLASSPATH or in a location identified through the -cp flag. If none of "-wsdl , - wrapperbean, -client, -server" flags are specified, java2ws will generate nothing.

Examples

java2ws -wsdl -d ./resource org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter
java2ws -cp ./tmp org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter -wsdl
java2ws -o hello.wsdl -wsdl org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter
java2ws -client -server -s ./src org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter
java2ws -wrapperbean -classdir ./classes org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter

Using java2ws with Ant

The java2ws command can be wrapped inside an Ant target as shown below:

...

Make sure you set the "fork=true" attribute for the <java/> task as shown above. Also, remember to keep each word or flag within the command line options in its own <arg/> element (e.g., do not use <arg value="-o hello.wsdl"/>, but split them up into two <arg/> elements as done here.)
