How to use wsdl in servicemethod? - spring-mvc

Question

I am new to soap web-services. I have wsdl file configured in pom.xml like below:
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jax-ws-commons</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxws-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>wsimport</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<wsdlUrls>
<wsdlUrl>http://www.webservic.com/uszip.asmx?WSDL</wsdlUrl>
</wsdlUrls>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I want to use this webservice in spring mvc application. How can I do it?

Answer 1

You can follow this guide for Consuming a SOAP web service on Spring.io.
I prefer following way of consuming web service in Spring. You can inspire yourself. (Note that for generating POJO classes from WSDL I use Eclipse IDE > Generate classes using JAXB).
