How to use Java2WSDL and WSDL2Java ?

Java2WSDL

Java2WSDL command line will generate a standard WSDL file that conforms to a given interface.

Options

• Name of output WSDL ( fib.wsdl )
• URL of the Web service ( http: //localhost:8080/axis/services/fibonacci )
• Target namespace for the WSDL; Package where service resides ( urn:fibonacci )
• Map Java package = namespace; Java Package where service resides ( urn:fibonacci )
• Fully qualified class itself; Main business class where operation is written. ( fibonacci.Fibonacci )

The full command for our example becomes something like : 

java org.apache.axis.wsdl.Java2WSDL -o fib.wsdl -l"http: //localhost:8080/axis/services/fibonacci" -n urn:fibonacci -p"fibonacci" urn:fibonacci fibonacci.Fibonacci

WSDL2Java

WSDL2Java generates the server-side wrapper code and stubs for easy client access.

Options

• Base output directory ( . )
• Scope of deployment ( Application, Request, or Session )
• Turn on server-side generation
  We wouldn't do this if we were accessing an external Web service, as we would then just need the client stub
• Package to place code ( fibonacci.ws )
• Name of WSDL file ( fib.wsdl )

java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java -o . -d Session -s -p fibonacci.ws fib.wsdl
