Generating WSDL from a Java class not using AxisServlet

[Eduard Sirota <Ed...@noosh.com>]

Hi All,

 

I would like my servlet to generate a WSDL file for my WebService when I
get an http request with "?wsdl" at the end of the url.

 

1.	I am using Axis 1.1.
2.	I am not using the AxisServlet.
3.	My WebServices are registered with an instance of AxisServer
object. Whenever my servlet gets a request, I process it with the
following code:

 

        Message resMsg = null;

        AxisServer soapEngine = SOAPEngine.getServerInstance();
//initializes the AxisServer

        String response;

        try

        {

            Message reqMsg = new Message(request);

            MessageContext msgContext = new MessageContext(soapEngine);

            msgContext.setRequestMessage(reqMsg);

            soapEngine.invoke(msgContext);

            resMsg = msgContext.getResponseMessage();

            response = resMsg.getSOAPPartAsString();

        } 

 

4.	My WebServices are just simple java classes that do not extend
any of the axis framework classes. 
5.	I figured that I should be able to generate a WSDL file by using
the following code, but nothing gets generated.

 

        AxisServer soapEngine = SOAPEngine.getServerInstance();

        MessageContext msgContext = new MessageContext(engine);

        messageContext.setService(new WorkgroupService()); //just one of
my services

        soapEngine.generateWSDL(messageContext);

        Document doc = (Document) messageContext.getProperty("WSDL");  

 

I realize that either my MessageContext object is not setup properly or
my WebService class doesn't extend/implement a proper axis framework
class. I even tried ripping off the MessageContext setup code from the
AxisServlet when it gets a request with "?wsdl". But I still can't get
it to work. 

 

Thank you for you time,

 

Eddie
