Use the wsimport command-line tool to generate a web service proxy for a web services application
You can use the wsimport command-line tool to generate a web service proxy for a web services application.
Before generating a web service proxy, you must have previously exported the WSDL files that describe the BPEL process or human task web services APIs from the WebSphere environment, and copied them to your client programming environment.
This topic applies to the following Business Process Choreographer web services interfaces:
- HTTP transport layer
- JMS transport layer
Procedure
- Generate a web service proxy for the Business Process Choreographer web services API. You can merge both proxies into one common directory (for example, proxy-bpc) and overwrite existing files if you are prompted.
The following example applies to the HTTP transport layer. The myService1.wsdl and myService2.wsdl files contain interface definitions of custom BPEL processes, or human tasks, or both. In addition, <bfm_location> and <htm_location> can be obtained from the WSDL <port> element in the BFMJAXWSService.wsdl and HTMJAXWSService.wsdl files.
wsimport.bat BFMJAXWSService.wsdl myService1.wsdl myService2.wsdl –d proxy-bfm -wsdllocation <bfm_location> wsimport.bat HTMJAXWSService.wsdl myService1.wsdl myService2.wsdl –d proxy-htm -wsdllocation <htm_location>
The following example applies to the JMS transport layer. The myService1.wsdl and myService2.wsdl files contain interface definitions of custom BPEL processes. In addition, <bfm_location> can be obtained from the WSDL <port> element in the files BFMJMSService.wsdl.
wsimport.bat BFMJMSService.wsdl myService1.wsdl myService2.wsdl –d proxy-bfm -wsdllocation <bfm_location>
- Include the generated class files in your project.
