So I have a simple xml-rpc server (xml over http) provided to me to use. But the thing is, the server is not equipped with wsdl. I don’t have access to the server code, so I don’t know about their implementation of it
How can I develop an xml-rpc client in Java, with no wsdl provided, without using 3rd party library like the Apache xml-rpc client?
Please help.
The wsdl is only really useful with a 3rd party library, because it helps you generate objects that can be serialized to xml without hand-coding the xml.
If you don’t have the wsdl, you must either hand-code each xml message you send and hand-parse each message you receive, or create a set of objects on your own and serialize and deserialize them appropriately.
