Consuming External Web Services through Java Client Using Apache Axis

Dear Expert,

I am very new in web services.

I want to create a java client to consume external web services using apache axis.

My web services are deployed on this location (http://test.gateway.englandnet.co.uk/IOGatewayWebService/ProductService.asmx).

Can you please give me a java code. In which I can consume all the deployed web services?

Don't give me an apache examples. Please do write exact code.


This is what I have done till now.

import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import java.net.*;

public class GetProduct
{
   public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception
         {
       
       Service service = new Service();
       
       Call call = (Call)service.createCall();
       
       registerTypeMappings(call);

       String endpoint = "http://test.gateway.englandnet.co.uk/IOGatewayWebService/ProductService.asmx";
       
       call.setTargetEndpointAddress(new URL(endpoint));  
             
       call.setSOAPActionURI("http://gateway.englandnet.co.uk/IOGatewayWebservice/GetProduct");
             
       call.setOperationName(new QName("GetProduct"));

       String productId = args[0];
           
       String result = (String)call.invoke("http://gateway.englandnet.co.uk/IOGatewayWebservice/","GetProduct",new Object [] {new String(productId)});
       
       System.out.println("Got Product : ");
       System.out.println(result);        
   }
}

its compiling but when I am trying to run by passing ProductID given below.

 C:\Jdk_1.6\src>java GetProduct 6696E2E0-FF4D-4BEA-8286-3851E256A49D

its giving error saying
