Contract-First Web-Services using JAX-WS, JAX-B, Maven and Eclipse

Tue, 23 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0200

Using the contract-first approach to define a web service offers some advantages in contrast to the code-first approach.

In the following tutorial we’re going to take a look at some details of this approach and we’re going to implement a real SOAP service using JAX-WS, Maven and the Eclipse IDE.

Finally we’re going to run our service implementation on an embedded Jetty instance and we’re going to take a look at soapUI and how to test our service using this neat tool.

Create a SOAP client using the JAX-WS Maven Plugin

Thu, 08 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0200

Having written the article “How to build a Confluence SOAP client in 5 minutes” some readers asked me for some more information and help using the JAX-WS plugin that I mentioned in the article instead of the Axis plugin – so here we go ;)

Steps

Create a simple maven project first using archetype:create or archetype:generate
```
mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.hascode.jaxws -DartifactId=soap-tutorial
```

We get a pom.xml like this:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
     <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
     <groupId>com.hascode.jaxws</groupId>
     <artifactId>soap-tutorial</artifactId>
     <version>0.1</version>
</project>

How to build a Confluence SOAP client in 5 minutes

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100

In this tutorial we are going to build a SOAP client for the popular Confluence Wiki in about five minutes. The client is going to receive rendered HTML Markup from a specified Confluence Page.

Prerequisites

A running Confluence Installation with SOAP API enabled – if you don’t already have one take a look at this article or if you’ve got the Atlassian Plugin SDK installed .. start a standalone instance using atlas-run-standalone ..
Maven – never go without it ;)
Five minutes of your life time ..
