Implementing the Consumer's Business Logic

Overview

Once you instantiate a service proxy for a remote endpoint, you can invoke its methods as if it were a local object. The calls block until the remote method completes.

	Note
	If a method is annotated with the `@OneWay` annotation, the call returns immediately.

Example

Example 2.7 shows a consumer for the service defined in Example 1.7.

Example 2.7. Consumer Implemented without a WSDL Contract

package com.fusesource.demo;

import java.io.File;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.ws.Service;

public class Client
{
public static void main(String args[])
  {
    QName serviceName = new QName("http://demo.eric.org", "stockQuoteReporter");
  Service s = Service.create(serviceName);

    QName portName = new QName("http://demo.eric.org", "stockQuoteReporterPort");
  s.addPort(portName, "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/", "http://localhost:9000/EricStockQuote");

  quoteReporter proxy = s.getPort(portName, quoteReporter.class);

  Quote quote = proxy.getQuote("ALPHA");
    System.out.println("Stock "+quote.getID()+" is worth "+quote.getVal()+" as of "+quote.getTime());
  }
}

The code in Example 2.7 does the following:

	Creates a `Service` object.
	Adds an endpoint definition to the `Service` object.
	Gets a service proxy from the `Service` object.
	Invokes an operation on the service proxy.
