Creating a web service client from eclipse

Question

Hi, I am new to SOAP web services and am trying to create a client. I am following this tutorial , but the problem I am having is that it sometimes creates a client stub as .java files, and sometimes it generates a proper client with some .jsp pages like test.jsp, intput.jsp, etc. d.

I tried searching a lot on the Internet. Please let me know why it generates two different clients, but I follow the same process.

I created my client using wsimport, but I just want to know what makes eclipse generate two different clients at different times. there may be some kind of error or some details that I missed.

Answer 1

The difference is most likely due to the choice of a different value in step 6 of the tutorial, when you choose which type of client should be generated: Move the Client slider to the Test Client position .

Answer 2

When you run the Eclipse WTP wizard, you can choose which client you want to have. The JSPs created are just an input test form to validate your web service.
