Jax-ws web service document style example

JAX-WS Document style:

A Document style SOAP message body contains an XML document that can be validated against a defined XML schema. It is a more customizable and flexible approach as the protocol relies on the pre-defined schema to determine the structure of the SOAP message. That means we are free to customize the SOAP messages as much as we want.   First create a Web Service Endpoint Interface which will contains the declarations of all the methods we want to include in the Web Service. Create a class which provides the implementation of Endpoint interface. Finally create an Endpoint publisher which deploys the web service and creates and publishes the endpoint at the specified address.   Note: We have to run our Endpoint publisher to make Web Service available to clients. The @SOAPBinding is optional in case of Document Style because the default style is document. JAX-WS API is inbuilt in JDK.  

Web Service:

IHelloWorld.java

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Style;
 
/**
 * Service Endpoint Interface
 * @author w3spoint
 */
@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style = Style.DOCUMENT)
public interface IHelloWorld {
	@WebMethod String sayHello(String name);
}

HelloWorld.java

import javax.jws.WebService;
 
/**
 * Service Endpoint Implementation
 * @author w3spoint
 */
@WebService(endpointInterface = "com.w3spoint.business.IHelloWorld")
public class HelloWorld implements IHelloWorld {
	@Override
	public String sayHello(String name) {
		return "JAX-WS Document Style. Hello " + name;
	}
}

HelloWorldPublisher.java

import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
 
public class HelloWorldPublisher {
 public static void main(String args[]){
	Endpoint.publish("http://localhost:8080/ws/helloWorldDocument", 
			new HelloWorld());
 }
}

 

Note:

When you run the end point publisher, We will get the following error message:

Wrapper class com.w3spoint.business.jaxws.SayHello is not found. 
Have you run APT to generate them?

To solve this problem, we have to go to bin directory of our current project in command prompt and run the following command.

wsgen -keep -cp . com.w3spoint.business.HelloWorld

It will generate two following two classes:

SayHello.java

package com.w3spoint.business.jaxws;
 
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlType;
 
@XmlRootElement(name = "sayHello", 
 namespace = "http://business.w3spoint.com/")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "sayHello", 
 namespace = "http://business.w3spoint.com/")
public class SayHello {
 
    @XmlElement(name = "arg0", namespace = "")
    private String arg0;
 
    /**
     * 
     * @return
     *     returns String
     */
    public String getArg0() {
        return this.arg0;
    }
 
    /**
     * 
     * @param arg0
     *     the value for the arg0 property
     */
    public void setArg0(String arg0) {
        this.arg0 = arg0;
    }
 
}

sayHelloResponse.java

package com.w3spoint.business.jaxws;
 
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlType;
 
@XmlRootElement(name = "sayHelloResponse", 
namespace = "http://business.w3spoint.com/")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "sayHelloResponse", 
namespace = "http://business.w3spoint.com/")
public class SayHelloResponse {
 
    @XmlElement(name = "return", namespace = "")
    private String _return;
 
    /**
     * 
     * @return
     *     returns String
     */
    public String getReturn() {
        return this._return;
    }
 
    /**
     * 
     * @param _return
     *     the value for the _return property
     */
    public void setReturn(String _return) {
        this._return = _return;
    }
 
}

Web Service Client:

HelloWorldWSClient.java

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.ws.Service;
 
public class HelloWorldWSClient {
 public static void main(String args[]){
  try {
       URL url=new URL("http://localhost:8080/ws/helloWorldDocument?wsdl");
	QName qname = new QName("http://business.w3spoint.com/", 
			"HelloWorldService"); 
	Service service = Service.create(url, qname);
	IHelloWorld helloWorld = service.getPort(IHelloWorld.class);  
	System.out.println(helloWorld.sayHello("w3spoint"));
  } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
  }	 
 }
}

How it works:

First, client send a wsdl request to service endpoint (http://localhost:8080/ws/helloWorldDocument?wsdl) and server send the following response.

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

</service>
</definitions>

  A second call, client put method invoke request in SOAP envelope and send it to service endpoint. At the service endpoint, call the requested method and put the result in a SOAP envelope and send it back to client.
