I’d like to know if it’s possible to create Web Services client from a WSDL file using Spring Web Services.

I mean from the very WSDL, I don’t have any XSD for the time being.

But I’ve read Josh Long’s “Spring Recipes A Problem-Solution Approach”, Hamidreza Sattari’s “Spring Web Services 2 Cookbook” and the tutorial itself (6. Using Spring Web Services on the Client) and there’s no reference to this feature.

I’ve also read other posts, like Webservice-Client: Common approach with Spring WS, JAXB and just one WSDL file?, or Spring-ws client from WSDL (here at stackoverflow) but without any further results.

I’ve even asked the question at Spring forums, but no responses after more than 60 reads: Is it possible to create a WS-client from WSDL file using SWS? (It seems not)

Maybe it’s not possible.

Thanks.

    You can do it this way:

    1. Generate your java types using the xjc tool that comes with the JDK distributions – xjc -wsdl file.wsdl

    2. Then using the generated java types, use WebserviceTemplate, described here to create the client.
