I am new to web services and have managed to convert an Axis1 web service to Axis2. I can get data back from it using the Web Service Explorer with Eclipse. I am using Eclipse 3.6.1, Tomcat 5.5, and Windows XP. Problem is I am missing the JSP client to test with.
When you generate a web service using Eclipse and Axis 1, you get the generic 3-frame JSP test client with the methods on the left, input and results on the right. Can't seem to get this to happen with Axis 2. I have tried the Dynamic Web Project, Web Service, Web Service Client, and Axis2 CodeGen wizards in Eclipse, in various combinations, and all I get is a xxxCallbackHandler.java and xxxStub.java. I am able to test using the Web Service Explorer, but I need the JSP client because we have folks doing testing who aren't developers and don't have Eclipse.
I tried converting the JSP test client from the old Axis 1 service. This didn't go well because there are lots of references to org.apache.axis stuff that isn't part of Axis 2 (or at least reorganized to the point I couldn't find it).
Any suggestions on how to get a JSP client to generate or, if I need to build one, maybe an example? I have Googled to the point where every search I do for jsp, client, webservice, and eclipse, all the results come back purple. Somebody's got to have had this problem before...
If you need some UI tool for testing, I do not necessarily need JSP generated by Axis but can use some tools like SoapUI.
This is their guide how to do functional testing with SoapUI: http://www.soapui.org/Getting-Started/functional-testing.html
I came across the same problem using Eclipse Helios and Indigo on a Win 2003 server. The issue seems to be a bug, see here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=341525.
I am using the Web Services>Create Client wizard to do my testing by letting Eclipse test the client with it's automatically generated JSPs at the end of the wizard.

I have a Java Web Service project which was just handed over to me by a colleague who just resigned (no one is assisting me in my new company). Im new to Java (J2EE) and my background is .Net + frontend + azure so I am pretty much very confused with setting up and running the java project. Also, Since my background is .Net Im referencing everything with how things work in Visual Studio from running a project, setting up a project to setting up and debugging a WCF project which I realized now is very different from eclipse + java.
I would really appreciate if someone could explain to me how I can run this project which is supposedly a java web service (as I was told)?
First I have a project that is like this:
Im assuming that the project boxed as blue is the webservice (and the rest are just libraries)? Is this correct? if so how do I run and debug the project using eclipse
Second when I click on debug as -> debug on server this is all I see:
Another colleague told me to install JBOSS (I haven't installed a server in eclipse) because that is what they used. Is there good documentation (step-by-step guide) on how to install JBOSS to run in eclipse. Im assuming that JBOSS + eclipse is like IIS express + Visual studio. Are there also other alternatives to JBOSS + eclipse like perhaps tomcat + ecplise that I can configure.
I really really find it hard to setup the java web service project in eclipse I have little to no prior experience with java j2ee programming especially with web services so any clarifications with my questions would be much appreciated. To sum up:
How would I really know that the project is a java webservice?
If so, how do I run the project and host the project using debugging in eclipse with tomcat or jboss?
I would appreciate if anyone can point me to the right direction of figuring out the source code
From here we can only guide you, you will have to go through some tutorials to understand how java projects work.
Your project is a webservice project according to your web.xml file because its having context params for rest.
the context param sets a front url to your webservice which in this case is gametime.
Check these tutorials and you will understand how it works
http://www.mkyong.com/tutorials/jax-rs-tutorials/
Create simple examples given in the above tutorial and then you can execute your's program
Jboss is a application server which we use to run our app.
You can install jboss in eclipse or you can use it externally also.
To install eclipse and jboss you can follow the link
http://theopentutorials.com/tutorials/java-ee/installing-jboss-tools-in-eclipse/
The other option is to download eclipse and jboss seperately
and use them.
Go to jbosshome/bin
If you download both of them seperately
then in that case for jboss
Invoke the add-user.sh or add-user.bat script. ...
Choose to add a Management user. ...
Choose the realm for the user. ...
Enter the desired username and password. ...
Choose whether the user represents a remote JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 server instance. ...
Enter additional users. ...
Create users non-interactively.
After this go to eclipse and follow steps of below link to add jboss to eclipse
http://www.mastertheboss.com/eclipse/jboss-eclipse/jboss-and-eclipse
A Java web application among other things has a predefined directory structure including folders named WEB-INF, WEB-CONTENT etc.
On how to deploy a web application to Tomcat via Eclipse you can follow the steps in this tutorial.
I am new to Java EE and am trying to learn the same using tutorials and examples online.
I am trying to follow http://www.vogella.com/articles/REST/article.html#first and create a RESTful service using Jersey.
Since this is my first RESTful service, I have basically copy-pasted whatever code is present till http://www.vogella.com/articles/REST/article.html#first_run.
However, when I try to run the service, I am getting an error:
Could not load the Tomcat server configuration at /Servers/Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost-config. The Servers project is closed.
When I tried looking into the server configuration, I see that the configuration path is showing an error for the value: /Servers/Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost-config.
When I try to change any (server) configuration and save it, I get the message: "Error while saving. Resource '/Servers' is not open."
Five differences between my project and what is described in the page:
I am using JDK 1.7, while the page mentions JDK1.6.
I am using Apache Tomcat Server 7.0, while the page mentions Tomcat version 6.0.
The Dynamic web module version is set to 3.0 in my project, while it is 2.5 in the page.
I have a couple of practise spring apps configured on my tomcat server. I am not sure how to remove them. :(
I have updated my web.xml to use web-app_3_1.xsd in the place of web-app_2_5.xsd.
I am not able to understand why this is happening.
If this does not seem to be solvable, I would be thankful, if you can point me to any resource that explains creating a RESTFul service using Jersey using Java EE7, Apache Tomcat 7 and, preferably, Eclipse.
The solution turned out to be simple. When I looked at the Project Explorer, I saw that there was a project called "Servers". Once I "opened" this project, the problem got resolved.
Seems like marking all projects and selecting "Close Project" has a side effect in Java EE Perspective. :)
I am tying to integrate a gwt project with my already running spring project.
i am using eclispe, and i have a Spring MVC application that receives JSON requests.
i am using the built in Tomcat to run my MVC application.
now i would like to create a new GWT project and have it communicate with my spring project with JSON.
i understand that they need to run on the same ip and port so i would not have to make cross site communication.
if i try to run my GWT application as run-as->Web application (which is the normal way for the project) on the same port as the Tomcat server i get an error that the address is already in use (which makes sense)
i tried creating a new dynamic web project and make it look the same as the GWT project. even though i am able to run the application, nothing happens, and the "entry point" is not run (i am not getting any errors or anything) it just runs the default HTML welcome file and thats it. with out any GWT.
what am i doing wrong, i am surly misunderstanding something about how all this should work.
can anyone help me out please.
You need to select that you are running on an external server:
That is a question that can't just be answered with yes or no. It all depends on your overall architecture and what you are trying to achieve.
As I said, if it is both the same application I'd recommend to integrate the Spring project into the web project. (and if that's the case, the spring project does not need to be a web project)
If the spring project is its own application and maybe running on a different server, keep them separated. Extend the spring project so it offers the functionality (via ejb or webservice) the gwt-web project needs.
Nevertheless, I recommend you do some reading about how Java EE applications should be designed and what the different tiers (client, server/service, business, etc) are for. Oracle/Sun offers some good articles. For example: http://java.sun.com/blueprints/guidelines/designing_enterprise_applications_2e/ or http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/5/tutorial/doc/bnaay.html#bnabb.
Does somebody already have some experience embedding gwt in other
client pages except the standard html file?
I want to use gwt as front end and grails as backend. Communication
should be handled over rest json interface so that is loosely coupled.
How do i structure my project at best? Should I create 2 independend
projects or should I stick them together?
At the beginning I had some problems with debugging my gwt application
as it was part of the grails project. Now I copied the compiled js
script to my webapp folder and included it in a grails page. Debugging
gwt in noserver mode worked ok. The problem is , how do I solve my
deployment later at best as I dont want to copy my js everytime by
hand? Already tried the grails gwt plugin but its difficult to debug the gwt application and I even do not want to use the service stuff provided with the plugin.
I thought its a good idea to have 2 maven modules on for grails and one for gwt. Later 2 war files(one grails, one gwt) will deployed on Tomcat, so I also can change gwt client stuff without deploying grails again. How do i manage the brige from grails to gwt best? Just call the standard html in a div from grails page?
I am using maven for building my project.
Thanks for all your help
I have written 2 posts about this topic. In the first one I show Grails+GWT in the same application, using the Grails Gwt Plugin. It appears you already tried that approach. In the second post, I show how to do it with 2 seperate applications, talking JSON between each other using RequestBuilder to request the grails app (that serves JSON responses).
For The deployment in production, you should have Maven doing this job for you.
I've setup a project in Netbeans 6.5 with some web services that I've created myself and some web services that I've imported from WSDL files. I've setup a couple of desktop application through Netbeans in order to consume these web services. I'm not too sure where to go from here.
I have the GUI setup but not sure how to reference the web services so they can be consumed. I was wondering would anybody be able to guide me through this process or point me in the direction of a relevant tutorial. I'd also like to learn how to consume a web service through a JSP (also created in Netbeans) if possible.
Thanks.
You may find this tutorial useful:
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/websvc/client.html, but since you are using Netbean 6.5 this may be the correct version:
http://netbeans.org/kb/61/websvc/client.html. As the steps show, it isn't difficult to build a jax-ws client using Netbeans.
But, it depends on what version of Java you are using also, most likely. You may want to download the latest version of jax-ws, if you get errors with your wsdl.
For a JSP, just create a custom tag to call the client.
