Axis2RegistrationClient.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 Registration Web service.

With the help of AXIOM classes and methods, I can write my first real Axis2 client program now, Axis2RegistrationClient.java.

In this program, I used the WSDL document located at https://www.herongyang.com/Service/ Registration_WSDL_11_SOAP_11_Document.wsdl. This Web services uses the document/literal message style.

class Axis2RegistrationClient {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      PrintStream out = System.out;

// Setting initial values
      String server = "https://www.herongyang.com/Service/";
      String wsdl = server+"Registration_WSDL_11_SOAP_11_Document.wsdl";
      String tns = "https://www.herongyang.com/Service/";
      String serviceName = "registrationService";
      String portName = "registrationPort";

      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, "hy");
         OMElement request = factory.createOMElement(
            "RegistrationRequest", namespace);
         request.addAttribute("event", "OpenGame", namespace);
         request.addAttribute("date", "2018-08-08", namespace);

         OMElement guest1 = factory.createOMElement(
            "Guest", namespace);
         guest1.setText("Herong Yang");
   request.addChild(guest1);

         OMElement guest2 = factory.createOMElement(
            "Guest", namespace);
         guest2.setText("Joe Smith");
   request.addChild(guest2);

// Printing the request as an XML string
   out.println();
   out.println("Request XML message");
   out.println(request);
         OMElement response = client.sendReceive(
      new QName(tns, "Registration"), 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
<hy:RegistrationRequest
   xmlns:hy="https://www.herongyang.com/Service/"
   hy:event="OpenGame" hy:date="2018-08-08">
   <hy:Guest>Herong Yang</hy:Guest>
   <hy:Guest>Joe Smith</hy:Guest>
</hy:RegistrationRequest>

Response XML message
<hy:RegistrationResponse
   xmlns:hy="https://www.herongyang.com/Service/">
   <hy:Confirmation guest="Herong Yang" event="OpenGame" />
   <hy:Confirmation guest="Joe Smith" event="OpenGame" />
</hy:RegistrationResponse>

This is very cool! My first Axis2 client program worked nicely.
