To Invoke a Web Service Client

1. WSDL of the deployed web service from URL http://host:port/context-root/endpoint?wsdl

2. Call wsimport to generate the client-side artifacts using the deployed Web Services's WSDL.

3. Implement the client to invoke the web service.

   Clients can run a deployed web service by accessing its service-endpoint-address URL, which has the following format:

   http://host:port/context-root/servlet-mapping-url-pattern

   The context-root is defined in the web.xml file. The servlet-mapping-url-pattern is defined in the web.xml file.

   In the following example, the context-root is my-ws and the servlet-mapping-url-pattern is /simple. You can view the WSDL file of the deployed service in a browser by adding ?WSDL to the end of the URL, for example,

   http://localhost:8080/my-ws/simple?WSDL.
