WSDL Generation command-line tool

The command line tool can be downloaded here. With that tool you can create and extended WSDL from a J2EE ejb-jar archive.

If you launch it without arguments, for example:

java -jar wsdl-generator-0.1-executable.jar 

You can see the available options:

Extended WSDL Generator for the Jbi4Ejb Binding component
 -j,--jar-path <ejb-jar-path>     the ejb jar path
 -a,--appserver <appserver>       the app server name
                                  (websphere6/glassfish2/jboss4)
 -c,--corbaname <corbaname>       the ejb corbaname (optional)
 -h,--help                        print this message
 -i,--interface <ejb-interface>   the ejb remote interface
 -w,--wsdl <wsdl-file-name>       the wsdl file name (optional)

The mandatory parameters are:

• The jar path (-j or --jar-path) that must specify the ejb-jar archive path of the deployed EJB
• the interface name (-i or --interface) that must specify the interface name to use to generate the WSDL

The optional parameters are:

• The corbaname (if no specified, the String "corbaname" is used and must be configured manually).
• The WSDL name (if no name is specified, the remote interface name is used for the WSDL file name).
• The application server: this string is used to pre-configure the ORB. The orb pre-configured for the server are:
  • the default Glassfish Orb for glassfish2 (default choiche)
  • the default IBM Orb for websphere6
  • the Jacorb Orb for Jboss4

An example of the execution is:

java -jar wsdl-generator-0.1-executable.jar -j /home/marco/EJBModule14.jar -i it.imolinfo.test14.TestSessionRemote -c corbaname:iiop:127.0.0.1:3700#ejb/TestSessionBean

This execution produces the TestSessionRemote.wsdl file in the local directory, defaulting to the Glassfish Orb and with corbaname corbaname:iiop:127.0.0.1:3700#ejb/TestSessionBean.

Notice that the WSDL obtained can be edited manually or using a WSDL editor to change the connection parameters, see the configuration guide for the supported Application Servers for details.
