To generate the Java code from WSDL using axis 1.4 version and axis2

Using Axis 1.4
Download and Install

JDK -

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
-- Use  default path for the installation

axis-bin-1_4.zip or axis-src-1_4.zip

http://archive.apache.org/dist/ws/axis/1_4/

-- Unzip and place axis-1_4 in C:\

SET Environment Variables

Select Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System Variables

set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25"

set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%

set AXIS_HOME="C:\axis-1_4"

CLASSPATH = C:\axis-1_4\lib

Create Input and Output Folders

Create c:\wsdl folder and place the wsdl file provided

Create c:\output folder for Java code generation

Command to execute

C:\axis-1_4\lib>java -classpath activation.jar;mailapi.jar;axis.jar;jaxrpc.jar;saaj.jar;commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;commons-discovery-0.2.jar;wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar;log4j-1.2.8.jar; org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java -s C:\wsdl\<WDSL_NAME>.wsdl -o C:\output -p <PACKAGE_NAME> -t

- Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler and javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart). Attachment support is disabled.

C:\axis-1_4\lib>

                Note – ignore the above error which is underlined.

More info on the command params for reference -

  -s Generate sync style code only (Default: off). Takes precedence over -a.

  -o Specify a directory path for the generated code.

  -p Specify a custom package name for the generated code.

  -t Generate a test case for the generated code.

------------------------------------------------------------

Implementation –

------------------------------------------------------------

Once we have the Java code generated from the WSDL.  We will have to create a command implementation that will invoke the webservice by passing the request parameters.  The request params for the Headers and Body will be purely based on the WDSL provided.

------------------------------------------------------------

Testing -

By passing –t as parameter to the above command Junit test case will be generated which can be used for Unit Test.

------------------------------------------------------------

Using Axis2

set ANT_HOME=C:\apache-ant-1.8.2

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25

set PATH=C:\apache-ant-1.8.2\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin

set ANT_OPTS=-Xms256M -Xmx512M

URL -

http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/

Command to generate Code

C:\axis2-1.6.2\bin\wsdl2java.bat -uri <WSDL_PATH> -d adb -s -ss -sd -ssi -o <OUT_PUT_FOLDER_PATH>\service

C:\axis2-1.6.2\bin\wsdl2java.bat -uri <WSDL_PATH> -d adb -o <OUT_PUT_FOLDER_PATH>\client

- Once the files are generated - Create a Client file - to invoke the webservice by setting the request params for the SOAP request.

- Use the file with name < ..Skeleton.java> to write the Business logic for the response SOAP request.
