To test this we can follow the same client program which is given in the CXF site.
Just create a simple Java class and execute it.
1: package com.your.company.service.client;
2:
3: import java.util.List;
4:
5: import org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingInInterceptor;
6: import org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingOutInterceptor;
7: import org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean;
8:
9: import com.your.company.service.Product;
10: import com.your.company.service.ProductService;
11:
12: public final class Client {
13:
14: private Client() {
15: }
16:
17: public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
18:
19: JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();
20:
21: factory.getInInterceptors().add(new LoggingInInterceptor());
22: factory.getOutInterceptors().add(new LoggingOutInterceptor());
23: factory.setServiceClass(ProductService.class);
24: factory.setAddress("http://localhost:8080/CXFExample/productservice");
25: ProductService client = (ProductService) factory.create();
26:
27: List<Product> products = client.getProducts();
28: if (products != null && products.size() > 0)
29: System.out.println("Product Name : "
30: + products.get(0).getItemName() + ", Price: "
31: + products.get(0).getPrice());
32: System.exit(0);
33:
34: }
35:
36: }

Ok, looks like I answered my own question … kinda of
for JAXB use:
factory.getServiceFactory().setDataBinding(new JAXBDataBinding());
and comment out parts of applicationContext.xml
both beans under this
and
<!–
–>
This works on the server because JAXB is the CXF
default Binding. I assume there is no default binding on the
client side
Lijin,
Can you please explain why as per Subroto comment above you need
factory.getServiceFactory().setDataBinding(new AegisDatabinding());
I see that it doesn’t work with out this, in my case I get
unexpected element “Product”.
The reason I ask is that the documentation says you can use Aegis
on the server and something else on the client e.g. JAXB binding.
How can I use Jaxb on the client?
Thanks,
Tim
Thanks Lijin ,
That was a nice article.
I have doubt that if the client is a C# application and trying to consume the same web service then it will it cause an issue ?
Thanks in Advance
