WSClient Plugin

This plugin allows you to connect to web services. It is based on GroovyWS - GroovySOAP replacement that uses CXF and Java5 features.

Requirements

• Grails Version: 1.1.1 and above
• JDK: 1.5 and above

Installation

grails install-plugin ws-client

Usage

import org.grails.plugins.wsclient.service.WebService
class TestController {
    WebService webService
    def index = {
        def wsdlURL = "http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx?WSDL"
        def proxy = webService.getClient(wsdlURL)
        def result = proxy.CelsiusToFahrenheit(0)
        result = "You are probably freezing at ${result} degrees Farhenheit"
        render result
    }
}

• or you can skip the usage of WebService class and use directly:

def proxy = new WSClient(wsdlLocation [, classLoader, soapVersion])

If the WSDL contains complex types you can enable DEBUG logging to see a list of bean classes as they are defined:

log4j = {
    …
    debug  'org.apache.cxf'
}

For more information, please access: GroovyWS
