There is an SAP server that has some webservices I need to use, so I am trying to use wsimport to generate the client stubs.
I don't want to find all the wsdls and schemas that are referenced and modify them to do it locally, as that isn't sustainable, if they service should change.
So, how can I use wsimport to fetch a wsdl and generate the client stubs when the server is using Windows Integrated Authentication, where even the wsdl requires credentials.
The best solution I have found is to just copy the wsdl, and add in the changes to get it to work with wsimport, and save it on the jboss server, since it is unlikely someone will figure out the name of the directory, and only port 8009 is open to the world, even the jboss port is closed.
It isn't the best solution, but it works.

this api i have to use to make a client. i tried to make the client using myeclipse's WebService Client creation option but wsdl validation was failure. please give me a way to make it.
I assume that you are referring to this WSDL: https://staging.unicommerce.com/services/soap/uniware16.wsdl?facility=01. If so, try saving the WSDL in a local file and then creating a client. I had no problem with MyEclipse 2015 Stable 1.0 and generating a client for JAX-WS.
I need to consume a web service in java/jsp code. Only the WSDL is available for me to start.
I understand I need to convert the WSDL into java client JAR file using AXIS2 / CXF but I cannot build the whole application on this.
Can someone provide a simple example or basic steps for me to start on this?
I am not able to join the dots here. WSDL, java client JAR, AXIS2.... All online tutorials point on 'creating' a web service.
There are a number of tools capable of doing this included in various frameworks and app servers (CXF, JBoss/Wildfly, etc.), but the JDK itself includes a tool called wsimport which can consume a WSDL file and produce the JAX-WS stubs you need to remotely-invoke the service endpoints via a Java client.
Here's one quick description: http://www.mkyong.com/webservices/jax-ws/jax-ws-wsimport-tool-example/; here is the Oracle documentation for the tool in JDK 7: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/share/wsimport.html.
WSDL is just the conract for the web service. You need to generate client code using it, later you can implement your code to call the web service. Like #maerics pointed out, you should use wsdl2java to generate your client code for AXIS2 and use your client to consume the web service.
You can check this link for an example of client stub generation for AXIS2.
I am required to add WS-Addressing, WS-Security, and WS-Reliablity to a legacy java web service that runs on Apache Axis2.
I found out that Axis2 comes with WS-Addressing support. Then I installed Apache Rampart (v1.6.2, for WS-Security) and Apache Sandesha2 (v1.6.2, for WS-Reliable Messaging) on top of Axis2 (v1.6.2; running on Apache Tomcat (v1.7.0_30)).
After doing some research, I added my policies to my services META-INF/services.xml file. (The policy requires https and the header to be signed.) I can deploy the service to Tomcat without any exceptions. I can see the service using the axis2 url (http://localhost:8080/axis2).
Now I am attempting to write a java client for this service. I used the axis2 'wsdl2java' code generator to create the stubs. My test client service is able to call the service. However, on the server side, I get an exception "AxisFault : Message is not signed" (required by policy). The server logs also show the 'CreateSequence' message (part of WS-Reliable Messaging) is not signed.
Does anyone have insight on how to sign the 'CreateSequence' message? Also, it would be helpful to have a link to a sample client/service that uses Axis2, Rampart, and Sandesha2. Thanks in advance.
Our code calls a webservice to fetch some data. But the service provider's service is down most of the time. I have the response xml. Can some one help us with the easiest way to access the hardCoded response xml to our webservice client code. We use Java Axis Webservice. Can i host the webservice on my local machine? I have the wsdl and xsd's . Please help me how to host this service.. Or is there any simple way to access the response xml through axis webservice client..
There are many ways available to create web service from wsdl. If you want to create it manually then you follow these steps
The most easiest way is to use some tools that can generate the webservice for you as Netbeans has a wizard which can create the webservice from wsdl. All methods and neccessary files generates automatically. see Developing Webservices from wsdl using Netbeans
After creating webservice you can host it from your local machine. Netbeans also has the option to run and deploy the webservice.
java -cp %AXISCLASSPATH% org.apache.wsdl.WSDL2Java http://wsdl_url
This will help you to generate the WebService from the WSDL.
I want to build a web services client that takes wsdl link as the input and generates java classes. I know we can do this directly using Netbeans IDE where we provide the wsdl location during project setup. But I want the wsdl location to be provided when the client starts running. How do I do this?
Is the location that will be provided just used to specify the SOAP endpoint (for a web service whose WSDL was known at development time), or will it be a completely arbitrary WSDL?
In the first case, the web service client that was created by Netbeans has methods that accept an alternate SOAP endpoint URL. You can call those to use the client with a server whose location is not hard-coded in the client.
If however, the WSDL describes a completely unrelated service, how are you going to write Java code against it? You cannot use any interfaces derived from the WSDL (because they are not known at development time). You could only have a very generic SOAP client, where the user almost directly types in the XML that will be sent.
