How do you convert WSDLs to Java classes using Eclipse

Question

I have a WSDL file  or  more precisely  its URL   I need to convert it to Java classes  I also need to provide tests for the web service it describes   I m new to web services  so could someone tell me how to convert WSDLs to Java   I use Eclipse JEE Kepler  Maybe there are some plugins to do this automatically

In Eclipse Kepler it is very easy to generate Web Service Client classes,You can achieve this by following steps .

RightClick on any Project->Create New Other ->Web Services->Web Service Client->Then paste the wsdl url(or location) in Service Definition->Next->Finish

You will see the generated classes are inside your src folder.

NOTE :Without eclipse also you can generate client classes from wsdl file by using wsimport command utility which ships with JDK.

Using command prompt in windows you can use below command to get class files   wsimport  complete file path of your  wsdl file  example   wsimport C  Users schemas com myprofile myprofile2019 wsdl   if you want to generate source code you should be using below commnad   wsimport -keep -s src  complete file path of your  wsdl file  example   wsimport -keep -s src C  Users schemas com myprofile myprofile2019 wsdl      Note   Here  -s  means source directory and  src  is name of folder that should be created before executing this command  Wsimport   is a tool which is bundled along with JAVA SE  no seperate download is   required

I wouldn t suggest using the Eclipse tool to generate the WS Client because I had bad experience with it   I am not really sure if this matters but I had to consume a WS written in  NET  When I used the Eclipse s  New Web Service Client  tool it generated the Java classes using Axis  version 1 x  which as you can check is old  last version from 2006   There is a newer version though that is has some major changes but Eclipse doesn t use it   Why the old version of Axis matters you ll say  Because when using OpenJDK you can run into some problems like missing cryptography algorithms in OpenJDK that are presented in the Oracle s JDK and some libraries like this one depend on them    So I just used the wsimport tool and ended my headaches
