Introduction

The JDK 1.4 client-side library may be used to access the SOAP API for this application via the Java runtime. This library is compatible with Java, version 1.4 and later.

The library is divided into service interfaces, service implementations, and service data. The service interfaces exist for convenience in testing and for possible aspect injection. The service implementations and service data are POJOs, making them easy to understand and straightforward to use. (The services can easily be declared in a Spring beans configuration file, for example.)

As an example, suppose there existed a service interface and method for reading a purchase order. Assuming the package "com.company", a typical use of the library would like like this:

Example


//instantiate a new service with an impl
// (or through dependency injection, or whatever)...
com.company.PurchaseOrderService service =
  new com.company.impl.PurchaseOrderServiceImpl();

//make the remote call to read the purchase order...
com.company.PurchaseOrder order =
  service.readPurchaseOrder("123456");

//handle the purchase order as needed...
