You will use the above as an example to create your very own client.

Note that if you do not like the default packages that get created with

axis wsdl2java

, you can use a nested mapping tag to map a namespace to a

custom package name. For example:

output="gen.client"

testcase="true"

verbose="true"

url="${local.wsdl}" >

namespace="http://localhost:8080/ns/foobar"

package="rick.foobar" />

This would map the namespace

http://localhost:8080/ns/foobar

to package

rick.foobar

, which is much better than the default.

Write a Web service client for your EJB component

The code that Axis

wsdl2java

task generates is test code that is very specific to Axis.

To create a more portable client, you should use reflection to dynamically load the

Service Locator

as follows:
