Spring Webservice using JAXWS and JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean

Calling WebService using JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean

This is probably the easiest way to call the webservice . Generate the necessary classes for the webservice by using the "wsimport" utility ( have a look at http://ajaxrocks.blogspot.com/2013/08/jax-ws-call-ws-using-maven.html) . Then you can configure the bean to use the generated classes as shown

 

<bean  id="myWebservice" class="org.springframework.remoting.jaxws.JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean">
            <property name="serviceInterface" value="com.myws.proxy.MyTestWebService" />
            <property name="wsdlDocumentUrl" value="wsdl/mytest-service.wsdl" />
            <property name="namespaceUri" value="http://mycompany.com/myservice" />
            <property name="serviceName" value="MyTestService" />
            <property name="endpointAddress" value="http://www.test.com/webservices/mytest-service?wsdl" />
            <property name="username" value="username"/>  
            <property name="password" value="password"/>  
        </bean>

Use username and password if required otherwise it can be removed . Just wire this bean to your class and call the webservice

   <dependency>
         <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
