JavaScript Client Demo using Document/Literal Style
===================================================
This demo illustrates the use of the JavaScript client generator. This
demo deploys a service based on the wsdl_first demo, and then
provides a browser-compatible client that communicates with it. Please
read the README.txt for the wsdl_first sample for more information on
the service.
The cxf.xml for this sample configures the embedded Jetty web server
to deliver static HTML content from the 'staticContent' directory.
Please review the README in the samples directory before continuing.
Please see the wiki user documentation for complete information on
JavaScript client feature.
Prerequisite
------------
If your environment already includes cxf-manifest.jar on the
CLASSPATH, and the JDK directories on the PATH it is not
necessary to set the environment variables as described in
the samples directory README. If your environment is not
properly configured, or if you are planning on using wsdl2java,
javac, and java to build and run the demos, you must set the
environment variables.
Building and running the demo using Maven
-----------------------------------------
From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is
located)
Using either UNIX or Windows:
mvn install
mvn -Pserver
mvn -Pclient
Building the demo using wsdl2java and javac
-------------------------------------------
From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is
located) first create the target directory build/classes and then
generate code from the WSDL file.
For UNIX:
mkdir -p build/classes
wsdl2java -d build/classes -compile ./wsdl/hello_world.wsdl
For Windows:
mkdir build\classes
Must use back slashes.
wsdl2java -d build\classes -compile .\wsdl\hello_world.wsdl
May use either forward or back slashes.
Now compile the server applications with the commands:
For UNIX:
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$CXF_HOME/lib/cxf-manifest.jar:./build/classes
javac -d build/classes src/demo/hw/server/*.java
For Windows:
set classpath=%classpath%;%CXF_HOME%\lib\cxf-manifest.jar;.\build\classes
javac -d build\classes src\demo\hw\server\*.java
Running the demo using java
---------------------------
From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is
located) run the commands, entered on a single command line:
For UNIX (must use forward slashes):
java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$CXF_HOME/etc/logging.properties
demo.hw.server.Server &
The server process starts in the background. After running the client,
use the kill command to terminate the server process. Or wait five
minutes, and the server will exit.
For Windows (may use either forward or back slashes):
start
java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=%CXF_HOME%\etc\logging.properties
demo.hw.server.Server
On Windows, a new command windows opens for the server process. After running the
client, terminate the server process by issuing Ctrl-C in its command window.
To remove the code generated from the WSDL file and the .class
files, just delete the build directory and its contents.
Running the client in a browser
-------------------------------
Once the server is running, browse to:
http://HOSTNAME:9000/HelloWorld.html
(Substitute your hostname for HOSTNAME.)
On the web page you see, click on the 'invoke' button to invoke the
very simple sayHi service, which takes no input and returns a single
string.
Schema Validation Exception
----------------------------
When running the client with mvn -Pclient, you may see exceptions like
Marshalling Error: cvc-maxLength-valid: Value 'Invoking greetMe with
invalid length string, expecting exception...' with length = '67' is
not facet-valid with respect to maxLength '30' for type 'MyStringType'.
This is to be expected because in the wsdl we include restrictions such as
for the greetMe request message,
and we're also enabling schema validation in our cxf.xml
so if the greetMe request length is bigger than 30 characters, we will see
this exception.
