You can only invoke a document/literal web service using XFire. I guess you have to use Axis or JDeveloper created stub for accessing a RPC/encoded web service.

Client client = new Client(new URL(“http://localhost:8080/xfire-test/services/test?WSDL”));

Object[] results = client.invoke(“ping”, null);

assertEquals(“pong”, results[0]);

how about the return type is complex and using Dynamic Client ?
I tried,it returned the Document object of apache.
What should I do if I want to call a webservice existing under jdk1.4 ?
thanks a lot

I haven’t checked it out. The deep integration isn’t necessarily a requirement, usually you just want simple access to a web service.

Thanks for the tip, I will check JAX-WS out, maybe it’s an even better library than XFire.

Hi! Have you checked out the JAX-WS RI (from GlassFish)? Spring runs on GlassFish but, do you want a deeper integration? If so, could you drop me an email to understand better what is missing?

In any case, you may want to check out this the comparison matrix at the Apache Wiki: http://wiki.apache.org/ws/StackComparison

Assume client.ping() in the example returns a complex object called ComplexObject. You have to have the class for your object locally and then it’s just
ComplexObject result=client.ping() instead of String result=client.ping();
