To import a web service in Eclipse the next steps must be followed:

 

1. A new JAVA project must be created in Eclipse

 

 

2. The source must be right clicked and the New/Other option chosen. Then the Web Service Client must be selected.

 

 

3. The service definition (WSDL) url must be set.

For example: http://localhost/XFWS/ecrion/services/xfws.asmx?wsdl

 

Note:

 

4. Eclipse will generate proxy classes for the web service. The web service is ready to be used.

 

Here is a sample web service program that will convert a DOCX file to a PDF using the XF Rendering Server Web Service:

 

 

import com.ecrion.www.xfws._2_0.*;

import javax.xml.bind.*;

import java.io.*;

 

public class Program

{

      public static void main(String[] args)

      {

             try

             {

                    // Read input file

                    DataInputStream inStm = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("c:\\temp\\test.docx"));

                    byte[] documentBytes = new byte[inStm.available()];

                   

                    inStm.readFully(documentBytes);

                   

                    XfwsLocator locator = new XfwsLocator();

                    XfwsSoap engine = (XfwsSoap)locator.getPort(XfwsSoap.class);

                    XmlDataSource ds = new XmlDataSource();

                   

                    ds.setContent(DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(documentBytes));

                    ds.setFormat(InputFormat.DocX);

 

                    RenderingParameters parameters = new RenderingParameters();

                                

                    parameters.setOutputFormat(OutputFormat.PDF);

                   

                    byte[] result = engine.render(ds, parameters);

                   

                    DataOutputStream outStm = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\\temp\\test.pdf"));

                   

                    outStm.write(result);

                   

                    System.out.println("Finished");

             }

             catch (Exception e)

             {

                    e.printStackTrace();

             }

      }

}

Notes:

 

 

ServerDocumentTemplate template = new ServerDocumentTemplate();

                   

template.setID("Sample:Invoice.xfd");

parameters.setTemplate(template);
