Learning Spring WS

This project is a sample app used to experiment with Spring WS.

To run

Server

Before running the client, you’ll want to start up the server.

1. Checkout repo

2. cd learning-spring-ws-server

3. mvn compile to generate XSD-driven classes

4. mvn spring-boot:run or run Server.main() directly from your IDE to launch the SOAP service

5. curl --header "content-type: text/xml" -d @down.xml http://localhost:8080/ws > output.xml && xmllint --format output.xml && rm output.xml to send a DOWN message

6. curl --header "content-type: text/xml" -d @up.xml http://localhost:8080/ws > output.xml && xmllint --format output.xml && rm output.xml to send an UP message

Big differences:

• This part uses spring-boot-starter-ws and wsdl4j.

Client

Assuming you have started up the server, you can run the client.

1. In another shell, cd learning-spring-ws-client

2. mvn spring-boot:run

Check out the output.

Big differences:

• This part uses spring-ws-core, NOT spring-boot-starter-ws.
