I have never used any SOAP libraries in java, so I apologize for the newby-ness of this question.
I am trying to take advantage of Tivoli Endpoint Manager's SOAP API. I have generated the necessary classes from the WSDL file provided, using wsimport.exe (provided in the jdk).
Now I am provided with a ton of classes that I assume are packaging the information into xml format, but I am unsure what to do with them. I have read the documentation provided, but it is fuzzy at best.
The classes generated by wsimport are the following:
According to the documentation, the following Perl Code works for querying the Tivoli's API
use SOAP::Lite;
#arguments: [hostname] [username] [password] [relevance expression]
#hostname only, e.g. ’example.com’ rather than ’http://example.com/webreports’
my $host = $ARGV[0];
my $username = SOAP::Data->name(’username’ => $ARGV[1] );
my $password = SOAP::Data->name(’password’ => $ARGV[2] );
my $expr = SOAP::Data->name(’relevanceExpr’ => $ARGV[3] );
my $service = SOAP::Lite -> uri( ’http://’ . $host . ’/webreports?wsdl’ )
-> proxy( $host );
my $result = $service -> GetRelevanceResult( $expr, $username, $password );
if( $result->fault ) {
print "faultcode: " . $result->faultcode . "\n";
print "faultstring: " . $result->faultstring . "\n";
}
else {
foreach my $answer ( $result->valueof( "//GetRelevanceResultResponse/a" ) ) {
print $answer . "\n";
}
}
Question: What are the equivalent SOAP client libraries in java? (The ones that I googled are so heavy 15mb+)
How would I write the the equivalent java stub code for the Perl above?
EDIT 1
Here is the Stub code I think found the the WebReportsService.java class
package connect.tivoli;

Solution:
This was much simpler than I thought WSDL generation did all the work. Here is how you use those generated classes.
package connect.tivoli;
public class testMain {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String relevanceQuery ="names of bes computers ";
WebReportsService wr = new WebReportsService();
RelevancePortType client;
client = wr.getPort(RelevancePortType.class);
System.out.println(client.getRelevanceResult(relevanceQuery, "ad\\username", "password"));
}
