fromwsdl-wsaddressing-policy sample demonstrates the use of WS-Addressing in Web Services starting from wsdl using WS-Policy. This samples requires the support of WS-Policy 1.5 which was introdueced in JAX-WS 2.2 RI. In etc/AddNumbers.wsdl, Notice the use of <wsp:PolicyReference URI="#AddNumbersBinding_WSAddressing_policy"/> in the binding section, JAX-WS 2.2 supports the WS-Policy 1.5 Frameworka nd WS-Policy 1.5 Attachment. The attached policy in the wsdl specifies the requirement for the use of WS-Addressing through the policy defined as <wsp:Policy wsu:Id="AddNumbersBinding_WSAddressing_policy"> <wsp:ExactlyOne> <wsp:All> <wsam:Addressing> <wsp:Policy/> </wsam:Addressing> </wsp:All> </wsp:ExactlyOne> </wsp:Policy> This is the standard way of defining the use of WS-Addressing as defined in Web Services Addressing 1.0 - Metadata. If you want to just advertise the service's capability of WS-Addressing support, and not manadate its use(may be to work with for older clients that do not speak WS-Addressing), you can specify it with <wsam:Addressing wsp:Optional="true">. JAX-WS Runtime processes the requirements of the service and takes care putting WS-Addressing headers in the SOAP messages as per WSDL definitions automatically . In the portType definitions of the wsdl, * <operation name="addNumbers"> shows usage of addressing without any explicit wsa:Action values or explicit message names * <operation name="addNumbers2"> shows usage of explicit message names * <operation name="addNumbers2"> shows usage of explicit wsam:Action values. Observe the SOAP request and response messages to see how wsa:Action is derived from these associations. Also notice how a System property "com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump" is used to log SOAP messages. * etc - configuration files * AddNumbers.wsdl wsdl file * build.properties, deploy-targets.xml ant script to deploy the endpoint war file * sun-jaxws.xml deployment descriptor for web container * src source files * client/AddNumbersClient.java - client application * server/AddNumberImpl.java - server implementation * wsimport ant task is run to compile etc/AddNumbers.wsdl * generates SEI - AddNumbersPortType service class - AddNumbersService and exception class - AddNumbersFault_Exception * To run * set JAXWS_HOME to the JAX-WS installation directory * ant clean server - runs wsimport to compile AddNumbers.wsdl and generate server side artifacts and does the deployment * ant clean client run - runs wsimport on the published wsdl by the deplyed endpoint, compiles the generated artifacts and the client application then executes it. * Prerequisite Refer to the Prerequisites defined in samples/docs/index.html.
