Creating a New Mobile Web Service Client

This sample procedure creates a new project and adds a web service client. However, you can add a web service client to any MIDP project, it does not have to be new.

1. Select File > New Project, choose MIDP application, and click Next. Name your project and ensure Create Hello MIDlet is checked. Click Finish.

2. Right-click on the new project’s Source Packages node and select New > Other.

3. In the Categories pane select Other, and in the File Types area choose Mobile Webservice Client.

4. In the Generate J2ME Webservice Stub page:

   • Click Running Web Service and in the WSDL URL field, enter:

     http://www.xmlme.com/WSShakespeare.asmx?WSDL

   • In the Package field, enter testws. This is the package name.

   Click Finish. The new package appears in Source Packages and includes Shakespeare.java and Shakespeare_Stub.java.

5. Edit HelloMIDlet.java as follows:

   • At the beginning, add the following import declaration:

     import testws.*

   • Locate the startApp() method and replace its contents with the following code:

     String text;
     Shakespeare s = new Shakespeare_Stub();
     try
     {
         text = s.GetSpeech("Romeo");
     }catch(java.rmi.RemoteException rex)
     {
          text = "error";
          System.out.println(rex.getMessage());
     }
     TextBox t = new TextBox("Hello", text, 2048, 0);
     t.addCommand(exitCommand);
     t.setCommandListener(this);
     display.setCurrent(t);

6. Build and run the project. You see a quote from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet on the device screen.

You can vary the above procedure to use a local WSDL file. Open the following web page in a browser:

http://www.xmlme.com/WSShakespeare.asmx?WSDL

Save it to a local file. For example, c:\ws\WSShakespeare.wsdl. Follow the procedure above, except at Step 4, specify the local file name.
