(/questions/15948927/working-soap-client-example)
I'm trying to find a simple (ha) SOAP example in JAVA with a working service any I seem to be finding are not working.
I have tried this one from this example but it's just not working, it's asking me to put a forward slash in but it's in there and nothing happening.
So does anyone know any SOAP example links, I can download/request and mess with?
Thanks for your help.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------To implement simple SOAP clients in Java, you can use the SAAJ framework (it is shipped with JSE 1.6 and above):
SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) is mainly used for dealing directly with SOAP Request/Response messages which happens behind the scenes in any Web Service API. It allows the developers to directly send and receive soap messages instead of using JAX-WS.
See below a working example (run it!) of a SOAP web service call using SAAJ. It calls this web service.
import .*;
public class SOAPClientSAAJ {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
// Create SOAP Connection
SOAPConnectionFactory soapConnectionFactory = ();
SOAPConnection soapConnection = ();
// Send SOAP Message to SOAP Server
String url = "/emailverify/";
SOAPMessage soapResponse = (createSOAPRequest(), url);
// print SOAP Response
("Response SOAP Message:");
();
();
}
private static SOAPMessage createSOAPRequest() throws Exception {
MessageFactory messageFactory = ();
SOAPMessage soapMessage = ();
SOAPPart soapPart = ();
String serverURI = "/";
// SOAP Envelope
SOAPEnvelope envelope = ();
("example", serverURI);
/*
Constructed SOAP Request Message:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="/soap/envelope/" xmlns:example="/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<example:VerifyEmail>
<example:email>mutantninja@</example:email>
<example:LicenseKey>123</example:LicenseKey>
</example:VerifyEmail>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
*/
// SOAP Body
SOAPBody soapBody = ();
SOAPElement soapBodyElem = ("VerifyEmail", "example");
SOAPElement soapBodyElem1 = ("email", "example");
("mutantninja@");
SOAPElement soapBodyElem2 = ("LicenseKey", "example");
("123");
MimeHeaders headers = ();
("SOAPAction", serverURI + "VerifyEmail");
();
/* Print the request message */
("Request SOAP Message:");
();
();
return soapMessage;
}
}
Yes, if you can acquire any WSDL file, then you can use SoapUI to create mock service of that service complete with unit test requests. I created an example of this (using Maven) that you can try out.
Also, here is a giant list of free webservices someone posted.

. I now think it's strange it worked before without it. :) – acdcjunior Apr 11 '13 at 14:01
