The

axis wsdl2java

Ant Task creates Java classes from WSDL files. Notice that

the

wsdl2java

target uses the

axis wsdl2java

task to generate source code in the

gen.client

directory based on the WSDL file found at

http://localhost:8080/axisejb/services/RemoteHelloService?wsdl

. Since you also

specified

testcase="true"

, not only will the

axis wsdl2java

task create the stub

code, it will create a JUnit test case client.

Here is what

axis wsdl2java

task creates in this example.

C:.

\   localhost

\   axisejb

\   services

|

\   RemoteHelloService

Hello.java

RemoteHelloServiceSoapBindingStub.java

HelloService.java

HelloServiceLocator.java

HelloServiceTestCase.java

The Hello.java should look like the following:

/**

* Hello.java

*

* This file was auto generated from WSDL

* by the Apache Axis WSDL2Java emitter.

*/

package localhost.axisejb.services.RemoteHelloService;

import java.rmi.*;

public interface Hello extends Remote {

public String[] getGreetings() throws RemoteException;

}

The Hello interface follows the convention of JAX RPC. Thus you will implement a

JAX RPC style client later. The

wsdl2java

also generates another interface called

HelloService

. (The code was modified to fit nicely on the screen.) This

HelloService

interface will be used for locating your Web service as follows:

/**

* HelloService.java

*

* This file was auto generated from WSDL
