Package com.sun.xml.ws.mex.client

Class MetadataClient

java.lang.Object

com.sun.xml.ws.mex.client.MetadataClient

public class MetadataClient
extends Object

Class used for retrieving metadata at runtime. The intended usage is:

MetadataClient mClient = new MetadataClient();
Metadata mData = mClient.retrieveMetadata(someAddress);

Utility methods will be added for common usages of the metadata. For instance, the service and port QNames from the endpoint can be retrieved from the metadata with:

Map<QName, List<PortInfo>> names = mClient.getServiceAndPortNames(mData);

Method Detail

retrieveMetadata

public Metadata retrieveMetadata(@NotNull
                                 String address)

Method used to load the metadata from the endpoint. First soap 1.2 is used, then 1.1. If both attempts fail, the client will try again adding "/mex" to the address.

If any wsdl or schema import elements are found with empty location attributes, these attributes are removed. In the case of data returned to JAX-WS through ServiceDescriptorImpl, these attributes are added back in with appropriate location information.

Parameters:

address - The address used to query for Metadata

Returns:

The metadata object, or null if no metadata could be obtained from the service

retrieveMetadata

public Metadata retrieveMetadata(@NotNull
                                 MetadataReference reference)

Currently only supports Get requests (not Get Metadata), so we only need the reference's address. Any metadata about the request is ignored.

public List<PortInfo> getServiceInformation(@NotNull
                                            Metadata data)

Used to retrieve the service and port names and port addresses from metadata.

Returns:

A list of PortInfo objects
