Class SOAPClient

java.lang.Object
  cgl.hpsearch.common.SOAPClient

public class SOAPClient

extends Object

SOAPClient uses Apache AXIS to invoke a web-service using SOAP. Modified from Apache AXIS samples samples.client.DynamicInvoker

Acknowledgement: "This product includes software developed by the Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/)."

This sample shows how to use Axis for completely dynamic invocations as it is completely stubless execution. It supports both doc/lit and rpc/encoded services. But this sample does not support complex types (it could if there was defined a to encode complex values as command line arguments).
