GLUE java2wsdl Tool

The GLUE platform includes a java2wsdl command-line tool for transforming Java services into WSDL descriptions. The command-line usage is as follows:

usage: java2wsdl <arguments>

where valid arguments are:
  classname                     name of java class
  -d directory                  output directory
  -e url                        endpoint of service
  -g                            include GET/POST binding
  -m map-file                   read mapping instructions
  -n namespace                  namespace for service
  -r description                description of service
  -s                            include SOAP binding
  -x command-file               command file to execute

Complete information on each argument is available online within the GLUE User Guide at http://www.themindelectric.com/products/glue/releases/GLUE-1.1/docs/guide/index.html. For now, we will focus on the most basic arguments.

Example 6-4. PriceService.java
