Spring webservice(JAX_WS) Client with jaxws-maven-plugin.

Note:

	Important about wsdl elements which going to be use while creating client.<br>
	1-spring-uri or endpoint of wsdl is known as <soap:address location=?> <br>
	2-spring-soapAction or operation point is known as <soap:operation soapAction=?> <br>
	3-you can find both value inside wsdl and use them in client code.

How to make Spring-Soap-Client

Step-1

create spring boot project with dependency called-"spring-boot-starter-web-services"

step-2

add jaxws-maven-plugin into pom.xml and generated jaxb classes.

Example

		<plugin>
				<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
				<artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>2.5</version>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>wsimport-from-jdk</id>
						<goals>
							<goal>wsimport</goal>
						</goals>

					<configuration>
						<wsdlUrls>
							<wsdlUrl>http://www.dneonline.com/calculator.asmx?WSDL</wsdlUrl>
						</wsdlUrls>
						<packageName>com.amir.client</packageName>
					</configuration>

				</execution>

			</executions>
		</plugin>

step-3

create child class of WebServiceGatewaySupport to call the soap operation

Example:

public class SoapClientService extends WebServiceGatewaySupport {	
	@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
	public <T> T  callSoapService(String location,String soapAction,Object request) {
		 T ret =  null;
		 WebServiceTemplate webServiceTemplate = getWebServiceTemplate();
		 SoapActionCallback soapActionCallback = new SoapActionCallback(soapAction);
		 ret = (T) webServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndReceive(location, request, soapActionCallback);
		 return ret;
	}
}

location --you can get from wsdl it is value of soap:address..
soapAction --you can get from wsdl it is valie of soap:operation..

step-4

create configuration class and add following 2 beans
1-Jaxb2Marshaller
2-SoapClientService (user class extends WebServiceGatewaySupport)

Example:

@Configuration
public class SoapConfiguration {
@Bean
public Jaxb2Marshaller marshaller() {
	Jaxb2Marshaller marshaller = new Jaxb2Marshaller();
	marshaller.setContextPath("com.amir.client");
	return marshaller;
}
@Bean
public SoapClientService soapClientService(Jaxb2Marshaller marshaller) {
	SoapClientService client = new SoapClientService();
	//default-uri means wsdl attribue called-<soap:address location=?)
	//client.setDefaultUri("http://www.dneonline.com/calculator.asmx");//no need to tell soap:address(endpoint)
	client.setMarshaller(marshaller);
	client.setUnmarshaller(marshaller);
	//for basic authentication you can use following..
	//client.setMessageSender(httpComponentsMessageSender());
	return client;
}	}

how to call soap webservice using postman

1. create post request with wsdl endpoint example: http://www.dneonline.com/calculator.asmx?WSDL
2. create body with soap request with content-type: raw & xml
3. create 1 header attribute name will be "SOAPAction" example: SOAPAction=http://tempuri.org/Add
4. set content-type = text/xml hit the post request.
