Generate java classes for http service

Question

We are trying to connect to:

http://resellertest.enom.com/interface.asp?command=nameofcommand&uid=yourloginid&pw=yourpassword&paramname=paramvalue&nextparamname=nextparamvalue

Where we need to append parameters to http url and the response from the site is xml.

Sample xml response:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<interface-response>
<Contact>
<RegistrantPartyID>{FFD61956-8D43-45FB-BC38-E0EE23331503}</RegistrantPartyID>
</Contact>
<Command>ADDCONTACT</Command>
<Language>en</Language>
<IsLockable>True</IsLockable>
<IsRealTimeTLD>True</IsRealTimeTLD>
<TimeDifference>+03.00</TimeDifference>
<ExecTime>0.3164063</ExecTime>
<Done>true</Done>
<debug>
<![CDATA [ ] ]>
</debug>
</interface-response>

We are trying to connect to these services from java. Is there is a way that we can auto generate java classes (corresponding to xml) as we do in traditional webservices?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

If you want to populate XML data into Java objects using an XML schema, you could try Apache XmlBeans or JAXB. It depends whether you expect an XML Schema/DTD/RelaxNG/... structure. You could try Relaxer for RelaxNG (I think there are documents in English within the zip file, unless you can read Japanese).

(As a side note, I'm not sure if the service for the URL you've cited in your example is under your control, but putting the password in the URL with uid=yourloginid&pw=yourpassword doesn't seem to be a good idea.)
