Let's suppose there is a link to a web-service, e.g. http://1.2.3.4:56789/ws_bla_bla_bla/some_service?WSDL
This address shows xml document, as I guess this is called Initial WSDL.
What is it? Just a list of possibe requests/responces pairs and their xml-structure?
WSDL describes the web service and used to generate client side class which you can used to communicate with service (proxy classes)
couple of generators

SoapUI is another tool which you can used to test service based on WSDL.

I am building a client for a web service. I didn't want to the client downloading the wsdl everytime and got this answer.
But evaluating the source files of WSServiceDelegate,
URL url = wsdl.getSystemId()==null ? null : JAXWSUtils.getEncodedURL(wsdl.getSystemId());
WSDLModel model = parseWSDL(url, wsdl, serviceClass);
service = model.getService(this.serviceName);
if (service == null)
throw new WebServiceException(
ClientMessages.INVALID_SERVICE_NAME(this.serviceName,
buildNameList(model.getServices().keySet())));
// fill in statically known ports
for (WSDLPort port : service.getPorts())
ports.put(port.getName(), new PortInfo(this, port));
I see that it still parses the wsdl to get the service. How can I get around that. I provided the endpoint url using the context.
I need the client to be as fast and as small as possible, adding a huge wsdl in there is worst than downloading the wsdl.
For the operations you are interested in, you can build your own SOAP messages based on the wsdl's Request/Response messages and the xsd. You can use Jaxb tools to convert from XSD to Java classes. You then need to make post calls using Http Clients (like Spring RestTemplate) to post the POST body, soap based, to the endpoint address. This will make your calls faster but you have to code more in order to benefit.
I've been doing some research on BPEL for about two weeks now and still don't quite get it.
I have deployed the HelloWorld sample in ODE and have also managed to deploy this other one.
My intention was to do something like the second example but with my own real WS deployed and working.
I'm now at the point of having a process with no errors and correctly deployed in ODE with the following structure:
I have started the project from a service definition importing my Multiply.wsdl. The Designer has composed the import tag into the MuktiplyProcessArtifacts.wsdl next to the PartnerLinkTypes all automagically so I assume all namespaces, etc are ok.
There is a few concepts I misundertand in order to make all of this work:
In my original Multiply.wsdl I have
soap:address
location="http://localhost:8080/WS-multiply/multiply"
but ODE tells me my soap:address must have the form host.port/ode/processes..
This doesn't sound reasonable to me since my WS could be implemented anywhere outside my ODE_HOME.
The second example I mentioned before explains how the Designer presumably creates a "Caller.wsdl", which in fact has the function I would desire, which is to implement a "wrapper" WSDL, providing the BPEL process with entry and exit points. The issue is the Designer does not generate that interface. Am I supposed to create it myself? Do I have to create it at all?
If that 3rd wsdl is really needed, is it the one I would have to call if I wanted to test the whole process?
It looks like your partner WSDL is associated to a myrole of a partnerlink. Partnerlinks and partnerlink types are a concept in BPEL that is used to define dual interfaces in a sense that if a partner A wants to communicate with a BPEL process as a buyer, it needs to provide a certain set of functionality that the process can use for further communications (i.e. sending a shipment confirmation to the buyer). Thus, a partnerlink maintains two roles, the myRole is the portType (aka interface) that the process itself provides, the partnerRole refers to a portType the process expects to be implemented by the partner. MyRoles must be of course implemented by the BPEL process and thus needs to have an endpoint that is exposed by the BPEL engine. PartnerRoles can be bound to arbitrary endpoints. This happens in the deployment descriptor, which is the deploy.xml in ODE.
I guess you can fix your process by assigning your partner WSDL to a partner role.

Its mandatory to have Ode.war deployed at tomcat server, tomcat create a path like the picture, you need to config your endpoit with the complete path /ode/processes
c:\apache-tomcat-7.0.55\webapps\ode\WEB-INF\processes\BPEL_WS\
I want to test the results from a WSDL service in a browser like IE9 or FireFox. I know that I can view the WSDL XML, but I want to test the return results of an endpoint called GetEmployeeById that accepts a parameter called Id and returns a class. I am assuming this is all serialized to XML, so a browser would be a good fit for testing this. Is this possible?
In case you are using Visual Studio for .net development, I think something much better than a browser probably would to use:
wcftestclient <url>
which can be called from the command prompt and is part of the tools from visual studio.
The tool will help you to build and receive complex objects and see the results already serialized.
internet explorer let's you make a request with simple string parameters if the WSDL provides enough information.
If you haven't seen it, then probably the WSDL is only for discoverability reasons, probably just points to another service in a different transport protocol, not port 80, if the service is not on port 80 you won't be able to use your browser.
You have another more complex tool called FIDDLER that you can format any kind of http request, as well as receiving any kind of requests, like json for example.
You can use this URL to test WSDL endpoints, send request and see response.
I have a WebService that is a service dispacher and it has a Body with the type anyType, so that way I have only one webservice and my client only needs to know the schema to put in the Body for the specific service that he is calling.
Now the problem is that everytime I create a new service or modify an existing one, I need to send the new schema for them. I need a way so I can generate the WSDL with the body replaced with the schema of the desired service, so I don't have to resend the schema everytime it changes.
Thanks in advance!
BTW I'm using Tibco Designer, if it matters :P
Create an XSLT that expects the generic WSDL as an input and takes a path to a schema as a parameter. Use the XSLT to generate the WSDL you want for your consumers.
New to ServiceMix, I'm not sure if it can do what I need:
I've an interface defined by wsdl
I have several endpoints that implement that interface defined by the wsdl
I've a service that can only send the message to one endpoint.
Can service mix do the following:
Producer sends to an endpoint in servicemix (with the wsdl).
ServiceMix broadcasts to the different endpoints the message.
Thanks for the advice and / or pointers!
The simplest would be to use a Camel Recipient List. This would allow you to have either static or dynamic destinations for your broadcast.
It sounds as if your application doesn't require termination of the SOAP message (de/serialize the payload to/from an object) at the ServiceMix consumer. Therefore it can be kept very simple by using a Camel Jetty proxy:
There are further details on the link above on how to configure static (the example above) and dynamic routing.
If your application changes and does require termination of the SOAP message at the ServiceMix consumer in the future, then change out the Camel Jetty consumer endpoint with a Camel CXF endpoint and set bridgeEndpoint to false.
As for ServiceMix you will need to enable the Camel Jetty component. To have it enabled by default you need to edit the etc/org.apache.karaf.features.cfg file and add camel-jetty to the featuresBoot property. This is typically the best practice for features required by your application. You can also install the feature at the ServiceMix console with the command "features:install camel-jetty".
The Recipient List capability is part of the Camel Core API which is installed by default and if not, as a dependency of any other Camel component.
