    This document discusses SOAP web services, including their architecture, components, messaging format, advantages/disadvantages compared to REST, and how to define and consume them using WSDL and JAX-WS. It explains that SOAP web services use XML-based messages and WSDL files to define services, operations, and bindings. It also provides steps for generating a Java client from a WSDL file using wsimport and calling methods on the generated client.

    Web Services - SOAP

    What will you learn :


    - Components and Architecture of SOAP Web Service
    - The Web Service Definition Language (WSDL)
    - XML usage in SOAP
    - Difference between REST (JSON) vs SOAP (XML)
    - Setting up and using wsimport tools
    - Using/Consuming SOAP web Service
    - Generate WSDL file using Eclipse
    SOAP Web Service Architecture

    Service Registry

    Find Publish

    Service
    Service Provider
    Requestor

    Bind

    All the components are define inside a file called .wsdl


    The file is in XML formatted
    SOAP Layers

    Provider/Server
    Client

    App API App API

    SOAP, XML Processing SOAP, XML Processing

    SOAP Message SOAP Message

    Socket Socket
    SOAP Messaging Format

    <Envelope>

    <Header>

    </Header>

    <Body>

    </Body>

    </Envelope>
    Advantages Disadvantages
    Has it own security and protocol know as Slow and consume more bandwidth due
    WS Security to parsing the XML formatted
    Can be written in any language and WSDL file does not have mechanism for
    deploy to any platform discovering the service
    Object define by WSDL can be WSDL file is not really human readable
    autogenerated using certain tools
    SOAP Category
    RPC Style Document Style
    Use method name and parameters Can be define without method
    almost similar to REST-JSON
    Message is sent as many elements
    Message is sent as single document
    Tightly coupled need to follow the rules
    define in WSDL Message is loosely coupled
    Message will keep the operation name Does not keep the operation name
    Parameters are send as discrete values Parameters are send in XML format
    The Web Service Definition Language
    WSDL describe 3 informations:
    - The location (URL) of the web service
    - Methods/Functions and members that available in the web service
    - Ways to access the methods

    Sample of WSDL :
    http://10.105.13.55/webServiceSOAP/Lecture.wsdl
    WSDL Components
    How to analyze .wsdl file?
    - To find out the list of method look for:
    definitions
    <wsdl:operation name= > </wsdl:operation>
    types
    All the data types used by the Web service
    - To find the parameter and return value together with datatype:
    Find the <wsdl:input message:tns:request> && <wsdl:output
    message Parameters and messages used by method message>
    <wsdl:message name=refer_to_wsdl_input_or_output.>
    <wsdl:part name=parameter1 type=xsd:> </wsdl:part>
    portType Abstract interface definition each operation <wsdl:part name=parameter2 type=xsd:> </wsdl:part>
    operation element defines a method signature </wsdl:message>

    binding
    Binds abstract methods to specific protocols To find the url of the web service :
    Look at
    <wsdl:service>
    service
    A service is a collection of ports.
    <wsdl:port>
    port A port is a specific method and its URI <wsdl:address location=http://webServiceSoap/soap.php>
    </wsdl:port>
    </wsdl:service>
    Review back

    What does WSDL file contain?


    Where is the tag/part for defining the location of the SOAP web service?
    Which part does contain information about function name?
    Where to find the name of the parameter for the function?
    Is it possible to move@declare the <service></service> first?
    Why Web Service is needed ?
    A standardized way for integrating different applications and language
    Ignore the differences of version without depending on specific library
    Distribute data without having separated database
    How the SOAP Works
    1. Clients will call and download the WSDL file
    2. WSDL will provide the interface of the methods available
    3. Client pass the input via the specified parameter name
    4. The input will be passed directly to web service Implementation
    5. Web Service receive the input and do the process logic
    6. Web Service returns the response according to the WSDL return definition
    7. Clients receive the data/value

    implementation
    Consuming Java JAX-WS
    JAX-WS client can be generated using wsimport
    Ensure the environment variable is pointing to [jdk_path]/bin
    On window right click on the Computer >> Properties >> Advance System
    Settings >> Click Environment Variable button >> PATH and click Edit button

    Test the program opening command line and type wsimport


    To generate JAX-WS client run command :
    wsimport keep s javaSrcFile http://addressWebServce/wsdlFile.wsdl
    Steps to consume JAX-WS

    1. Ensure the wsimport is installed


    2. Identify the location of the wsdl
    3. Run the wsimport keep s [folderToSave] [url of the wsdl]
    4. Copy the library or the source file to your project
    5. Declare and instantiate the class that extends Service at the main program
    6. Declare and instantiate the interface class at the main program
    7. Call the desired methods and ensure follow the parameter and the return
    type
