I have a web service available through SOAP. Suppose it provides a method with a signature
sayHello(String name)
Of course I have a WSDL describing a web service.
Now I want to create a client web application (military archive) with a graphical interface that provides a form for entering a parameter for the web service method. In the case of an example, the form should simply allow a value to be entered for the "name" parameter. Then the SOAP message must be collected and sent to WS.
Is there any way or any structure to create such a webapp automatically !? The actual look of the resulting webapp is not important, it can be GWT webapp, JSF, a simple servlet with JSP, or something else. Even a regular HTML / JavaScript client application will be fine.
I mean, there are tools for generating CRUD forms from data models, so there should also be tools for creating forms for web services ...
I searched for search queries for a long time, but the only thing I found was a feature of Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/jst/components/ws/M3/tutorials/WebServiceClient.html , Basically, it does that, what I want, but I'm looking for more ........ a way ... to do this; -)
Thanks in advance,
