Web Service Client Deployment

Question

I have a web service client (JAX-WS) and the stubs have been created using the wsimport tool.

Now once the client is packaged as an application, the location of the service (and only the location )changes.

Do I have to re run the whole ws-import tool once again to create new stubs for the new location. Is it possible to move the WSDL location to a Config so that the application do not have to be built again! I am working with net beans 6.5.

I suppose DII is an option, but is there a solution to make the code independent of the WSDL location.

Answer 1

You may package the WSDL locally in your application (which is also reasonable for performance, since you're saving requests to the external file on runtime), see developing client application with locally packaged WSDL
