Hello,
How can I change the endpoint programmatically? For example, I am writing
a command line application in
Java that needs to talk to a Web Service using Netbeans IDE. I create
client stubs using wsimport pointing
to the WSDL file from the server that is provided by the Web Service.
The folks that provide the Web Service actually provide two Web Services
that have the same exact Interface,
one for testing and another for production. I want to point to either
one. I don't want to have to create
two sets of client stubs, for each WSDL. I want to create a single copy
of the client stubs and just change the
endpoint via the command line. Also, I would like to do some
interoperability tests using the WSI
interoperability tools. These tools act as a man in the middle where you
direct the client to use the
host and port of the WSI monitor service.
With JAX-WS, It seems that it "embeds" the endpoint (taken from the WSDL
file) down in the generated client
stubs. This is fine if I always want to talk to that single server for
the rest of the application's life. What if they
moved? They provide the same API, so why recreate the client stubs again?
What if you wanted to do load
balancing?
I cannot find a simple or reasonable way to programmatically change the
endpoint. Can anyone please help?
Sincerely,
Maverick Merritt
