Web service, dynamic address in WSDL address

Question

I am very new to web services, so sorry if I write a lot of the wrong things ...

I created several java classes and created wsdl, so I have a bottom-up web service. I expanded everything (in EAR) and called

http://localhost:7159/chc2/services/WebServiceManager 

to call the web service. It works, I get the results.

The problem is that I need to deploy the application on other servers and obviously the first part of the URL, the local ip will not be the same.

This url is declared by me in WSDL with:

 <wsdlsoap:address location="http://localhost:7159/chc2/services/WebServiceManager"/> 

My question is: is there a way to get the ip part of the link in a dynamic way in .wsdl? I found some ways on the net to do this in Java, but I directly call .wsdl and not through java ... I think if there is a way to do this in .wsdl.

Other configuration files that I have are server-config.wsdd and web.xml.

Thanks:)

Answer 1

Some application servers allow you to send web services containing a WSDL with a dummy address:

 <soap:address location="REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL"/> 

After deployment, they will replace this value with the actual URL! Glassfish definitely supports this feature (in fact, I think you can put whatever you want into the address location value, Glassfish will replace it automatically), and according to this link , JBoss also supports this feature. ' NTN.

As far as I understand, your problem is: when you deploy a web service on other servers, what would you call a web service?

Your servers are obviously part of the nodes / cluster. On a Java EE application server, such as WebSphere, plugin-config.xml you can configure incoming / outgoing HTTP ports.

The IBM HTTP web server will be configured on the application server through plugin-config.xml . This will open your web page as http: //: port / webserviceURI. This is the URL that you will use to call the web service regardless of the IP address of the application server.

Dynamically generate wsdl via XSD using sws tagging in [servler-name] -servlet.xml

 <sws:dynamic-wsdl id="getemployeeDetails" portTypeName="EmpService" locationUri="/empService" targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/"> <sws:xsd location="/WEB-INF/employee.xsd"/> </sws:dynamic-wsdl> 

This way you might have a dynamic URL when hosted on a server

this way we can dynamically change the wsdl location url
