Archived: Axis2GetSpeechClient.java - document/literal Style

This section provides a tutorial example on how to build a SOAP Body message in document/literal style and call the GetSpeech Web service.

Writing a Web service client program using Axis2 seems to be very easy. Let's write another one, Axis2GetSpeechClient.java.

In this program, I used the WSDL document located at http://www.xmlme.com/WSShakespeare.asmx?WSDL. This Web services uses the document/literal message style.

import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import org.apache.axis2.client.ServiceClient;
import org.apache.axis2.client.Options;
import org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPConstants;
import org.apache.axiom.om.*;
class Axis2GetSpeechClient {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      PrintStream out = System.out;

// Setting initial values
      String wsdl = "http://www.xmlme.com/WSShakespeare.asmx?WSDL";
      String tns = "http://xmlme.com/WebServices";
      String serviceName = "Shakespeare";
      String portName = "ShakespeareSoap";

      try {
         ServiceClient client = new ServiceClient(null,
            new URL(wsdl), new QName(tns, serviceName), portName);
         Options option = client.getOptions();
         option.setProperty(HTTPConstants.CHUNKED,false);

// Building SOAP Body element for the request
         OMFactory factory = OMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory();
         OMNamespace namespace = factory.createOMNamespace(tns, "tns");
         OMElement request = factory.createOMElement(
            "GetSpeech", namespace);

         OMElement child = factory.createOMElement(
            "Request", namespace);
         child.setText("To be, or not to be");
   request.addChild(child);

// Printing the request as an XML string
   out.println();
   out.println("Request XML message");
   out.println(request);
         OMElement response = client.sendReceive(
      new QName(tns, "GetSpeech"), request);

// Printing the response as an XML string
   out.println();
   out.println("Response XML message");
   out.println(response);
      } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}

Output of this program is presented below:

Request XML message
<tns:GetSpeech xmlns:tns="http://xmlme.com/WebServices">
  <tns:Request>To be, or not to be</tns:Request>
</tns:GetSpeech>

Response XML message
<GetSpeechResponse xmlns="http://xmlme.com/WebServices">
  <GetSpeechResult>
    &lt;SPEECH>
      &lt;PLAY>HAMLET&lt;/PLAY>
      &lt;SPEAKER>HAMLET&lt;/SPEAKER>
      To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler
      ...
    &lt;/SPEECH>
  </GetSpeechResult>
</GetSpeechResponse>

This test program shows that Axis2 supports WSDL 1.1 very well.
