I need to use a web service in my project. Where I use a WSDL of a uuid generator web service. I tried looking for a web service that does this but couldn't find anything.
I can't make my own java program for that because my requirement is i have to use an available free web service.
I'd suggest using:
https://httpbin.org/uuid
It's not SOAP, but REST, however this should actually be easier to use.
e.g.
curl https://httpbin.org/uuid

I'm new to the Mulesoft. Currently we have a requirement that need to use Mulesoft to expose a WSDL for Salesforce to call. When Salesforce call this web service, it will transform some account information and Mulesoft will load them to a MySQL table. Could anyone help how can I create this? Thank you!
Definitely... As Nuno said you need to use CXF component in Mule to expose your SOAP webservice.. Actually using Mule platform you can able to expose any kind of Web Service you required like (Soap,Rest) that other applications can able to read ..
Take a look into an easy way of creating the webservice and exposing the WSDL :- http://training.middlewareschool.com/mule/soap-code-first-build/
To publish a SOAP service you should use the CXF component (reference). Take a look into the documentation Publishing a SOAP API to have an ideia in how to begin your flow.
Please take some time to have a quick look into the Mule User guide, since it explains the essentials to start developing with Mule. You will need it to learn how to interact with MySQL too (Database connector).
I'm trying to use the GetPostCodeDetailsByPlaceName method from this wsdl. I can't figure out how the parameters should go. Am I looking at this the wrong way or is it incomplete?
I've tried guessing a ton of things like:
This and
this
even
this
Anyone make any sense of it? Thanks.
Since this web service has a WSDL, it is a SOAP based web service, not a RESTful web service. You can use Apache Axis to generate a WS client based on the WSDL, or you can use a tool like SoapUI to invoke the web service.
WSDL = SOAPWADL = REST
Hence the thread title itself is invalid!!!
i am new to REST Service development. I compared the development mechanism for both REST and WS web services and i found that you can create a WS web service using WSDL file that is the top down appraoch (Correct me if i am wrong) and using bottom up approach also, that is generating the classes manually.
But when it comes to REST web service development you have to follow bottom up approach only that is generating the classes manually. NetBeans IDE provides certain wizards for creating REST web service quickly from databases, entity classes and patterns.
I had also seen when you are developing web service in eclipse and you are using wizard in eclipse IDE, you can create a REST web service from WSDL file. I found this very strange. My question here is what are the approaches we can have for creating REST web services. Can we create REST web services using top-down and bottom up approached. If yes then please provide me details.
Thanks.
It is possible to describe a REST service using a contract. This is the intent of WADL and WSDL 2.0. WADL is specifically a REST contract, whereas WSDL 2.0 evolved from the original WSDL spec. to support all HTTP bindings. Since REST services rely on the use of HTTP methods and headers to exchange messages a WSDL 2.0 contract can work. There is a really good explanation here: http://ajaxonomy.com/2008/xml/web-services-part-2-wsdl-and-wadl
For development of REST services, I'm not sure if NetBeans, Eclipse or other tools specifically support automated REST service from WSDL generation. I would imagine that most are still intended for SOAP service creation. At this point I think WSDL 2.0 and WADL can be used to describe a REST service, but are not intended for automated generation of a REST service.
REST services are simple HTTP request/response,and therefore don't require complex stubs. In most cases it would probably take more time to write the WSDL describing the REST service, than it would take to write the REST service itself.
Situation:
We are planning to build a set of new services a long side a set of old SOAP (Spring, apache CXF) web services. Our customers are used to being able to use ?wsdl to get a wsdl describing a service and the content it will accept/return.
I'm looking at providing the new services via spring controllers and RESTful urls. However not all of a request can be handled via a RESTful url, so we still need to have a payload request and responses. I'm looking at use #RequestBody and #ResponseBody and spring's Message Converters to auto(magically) handle both XML and JSON content. The idea being to let spring do as much of the heaving lifting as possible.
The problem:
I'm trying to figure out if it's possible given the REST/Message converter concept, to be able to provide a description of a service and it's request/response data in a similar fashion to the ?wsdl request. I understand that there are WADL documents that can be generated by some systems, but they appear to be a proposel and not fully accepted yet.
Does anyone know if spring can generate WADLs or something else that I can use to allow clients to query the RESTful services data structures?
SpringMVC doesn't support WADL auto generation, mostly because it doesn't use the JSR-311 standard REST API.
I have create a blog entry with a simple WADL generation Controller in java :
Tuxgalaxy Blog Entry.
But Tomasz Nurkiewicz also provide a WADL generation Controller in scala :

You could use CXF JAX-RS for your REST services since you're already using it for SOAP (you can even expose the same service as SOAP and REST with CXF), and CXF gives you the WADL that you want by adding ?_wadl&_type=xml
The following code will work with Spring REST 4x and its based on the suggested code by tuxgalaxy provided on below https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-8705

I am implementing SOAP web services for a commercial application, and I am using GroovyWS to speed up the development.
But, when I deploy it on Tomcat, I am not using Grails, as the software has it's own J2EE framework, so how I do I get it to react to wsdl requests?
Do I need to write a groovy-based servlet?
Ideally I would like the WSDL generated upon request, so I can easily change the interface and see the change.
It seems I will miss the annotations that JAX-WS provides for, though, to help fine-tune the WSDL.
Using the example web application, the WSDL can be retrieved as follows:
http://localhost:6980/MathService?wsdl
