The following is an example Apache Axis client calling an inventory web service. The getInventory web service is used in this example.

The first step in calling the inventory web service using Apache is to generate the client stubs:

java org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java
http://hostname:port/commerce/inventory/getInventory?WSDL

Next, the following code executes the getInventory web service:

GetInventorySEIService webService = new GetInventoryServiceLocator();
GetInventorySEI inventoryStub = webService.getGetInventorySEIPort();
String[] skuIds = { "sku1", "sku2" };
SimpleInventoryInfo[] infos = inventoryStub.getInventory(skuIds);
