Generating webservice client stubs from WSDL using ANT build/Project

It doesn't seem as if there are many experts with ANT experience reading your question. Just wondering if you have tried anything and it's just not working or if you just want help on where to start?

Hi,

you should be able to accomplish this with the ANT wsimport task class.

For instance:

wsimport-ant.xml

        <path id="jaxws-classpath">
		<fileset dir="${jaxws.lib.dir}">
			<include name="**/*.jar" />
		</fileset>
	</path>
	
	<taskdef name="wsimport" classname="com.sun.tools.ws.ant.WsImport">
		<classpath>
			<path refid="jaxws-classpath" />
		</classpath>
	</taskdef>
	
	<property name="wsdl" value="wsdl_product.xml" />
	
	<target name="generate-yourtarget-ws">
		<delete dir="ws-gen-src" />
		<delete dir="ws-gen-bin" />
		<mkdir dir="ws-gen-src"/>
		<mkdir dir="ws-gen-bin"/>
		<wsimport           
			wsdl="wsdls/${wsdl}"      
				destdir="ws-gen-bin"
				sourcedestdir="ws-gen-src"
				verbose="true"
				package="some.package.name">
		</wsimport>
	</target>

Hi dfke,

I have tried with above steps but source code is not generated.

<property name="wsdl" value="wsdl_product.xml" />///wsdl url data i have kept in this file is that correct?
      
      <target name="generate-yourtarget-ws"> //do i need to change this or i can use as it is

Untested, but with a bit of tweaking it should work. I assume you're using axis2 and you have all axis-related jars in the /lib folder.

<project name="AxisWSImplementation" basedir="."
	default="generate.client">

	<property environment="env" />
	<property name="build.dir" value="build" />

	<path id="axis2.classpath">
		<fileset dir="${basedir}/lib">
			<include name="*.jar" />
		</fileset>
	</path>

	<target name="generate.client">
		<taskdef name="wsdl2java"
			classname="org.apache.axis2.tool.ant.AntCodegenTask"
			classpathref="axis2.classpath" />
		<wsdl2java wsdlfilename="${build.dir}/MyService.wsdl"
			output="${build.dir}/resources" />
	</target>

	<target name="clean">
		<delete dir="${build.dir}" />
	</target>
</project>
