import java.net.URL;

import localhost.axisejb.services.RemoteHelloService.Hello;

import localhost.axisejb.services.RemoteHelloService.HelloService;

public class HelloClient {

public static final String serviceClass;

public static final String url;

static {

/* Allow using other JAX RPC implementations besides Axis */

serviceClass = System.getProperty("hello.service",

"localhost.axisejb.services.RemoteHelloService.HelloServiceLocator");

/* Allow other locations for our Web service */

url = System.getProperty("hello.url",

"http://localhost:8080/axisejb/services/RemoteHelloService");

}

public static void main(String []args) throws Exception{

Hello port; //The Hello interface, in Web Service this is known as a port

HelloService service; //The service locator

/*

Dynamically load the service locator. */

service = (HelloService)

Class.forName(serviceClass).newInstance();

/*

Get the port from the service.

*

The port is the hello service. */

port = service.getRemoteHelloService(new URL(url));

/* Get the greetings from the service */

String[] greetings = port.getGreetings();

/* Print out the greetings */

for (int index=0; index < greetings.length; index++){

System.out.println(greetings[index]);

}

}

}

There is another more complicated, less performant, more portable way to create a

client. I will cover this later.

For more information on JAX RPC see

Resources

on page 31 .

If you have been following along, please create a directory called

client

and create a

file called

HelloClient.java

that implements a client based on the code listing above.
