generic-soap-client

This is a Java library that can execute operations of an arbitrary SOAP web service.

It takes a URL to a WSDL and generates a data structure corresponding to the definitions. All operations and input fields can be accessed and set at runtime. After executing an operation, the returned values and file attachments can be read.

Some simple usage examples:

// initialize the service

SoapService service = new SoapService("http://myhost/myservice?wsdl");

// service operations

List<SoapOperation> allOps = service.getOperations();  
SoapOperation op = service.getOperation("myOperation");

// analyzing and setting input values

List<SoapInput> allInputs = op.getInputs();  
SoapInput in = allInputs.get(0);  
String name = in.getName();  
boolean multi = in.isMultiValued(); // can contain several values
List<String> possible = in.getPossibleValues(); // for restricted types
in.setValue("some value");

// executing the operation

List<SoapOutput> outs = op.execute();

// printing the outputs

for (SoapOutput out : outs) {  
                System.out.println(out.getName());
                System.out.println(out.getValue());
}
