速度 - Axis 使用 SAX 而不是 DOM 来处理XML请求,所以速度上有很大的改善。 
灵活性 - 刚才也提到了,Axis的体系结构是一个全开放式的处理器,所以扩展模块极为方便。面向组件的发布方式 - 处理链上可重复使用组件来完成类似的操作。 
Transport 框架 - Axis的核心和底层的transport完全分离,也就是说不管WS的Transport是HTTP, FTP, MAIL, MESSAGE QUEUE,只要插入对应的Transport模块即可,而不需改动其他部分。 
WSDL1.1支持 - 可自动由Java Object生成WSDL
 
摘要:
本文描述了如果创建一个简单Eclipse插件来实现Axis WebService客户端,包括4个步骤:
1 建立Eclipse插件,修改plugin.xml
2 建立调用Web Service类,该类实现调用Axis的WebService
3 修改Action类的run方法
4 调试
1 建立Eclipse插件

File->New->Project->Plug-in development的Plug-in project->Next,填写Project名,Next, 填写内容,Next,选择Create plug-in using one of the templates,选择Hello,World,Finish。

在视图可看到plugin.xml,在<Runtime>里加上运行调用Web Service所需jar包。内容如下:
 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?eclipse version="3.0"?>

<plugin

   id="colimas_plugin"

   name="Colimas_plugin Plug-in"

   version="1.0.0"

   provider-name="nova"

   class="colimas_plugin.Colimas_pluginPlugin">



   <runtime>

      <library name="colimas_plugin.jar">

         <export name="*"/>

      </library>

      <library name="lib/activation.jar">

         <export name="*"/>

      </library>

      <library name="lib/axis.jar">

         <export name="*"/>

      </library>

      <library name="lib/commons-beanutils.jar">

         <export name="*"/>

      </library>

      <library name="lib/commons-discovery-0.2.jar">

         <export name="*"/>

      </library>

      <library name="lib/commons-logging-1.0.4.jar">

         <export name="*"/>

      </library>

      <library name="lib/jaxrpc.jar">

         <export name="*"/>

      </library>

      <library name="lib/xalan.jar">

         <export name="*"/>

      </library>

      <library name="lib/xerces.jar">

         <export name="*"/>

      </library>

      <library name="lib/saaj.jar">

         <export name="*"/>

      </library>

      <library name="lib/mail.jar">

         <export name="*"/>

      </library>

   </runtime>



   <requires>

      <import plugin="org.eclipse.ui"/>

      <import plugin="org.eclipse.core.runtime"/>

   </requires>



   <extension

         point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets">

      <actionSet

            label="Sample Action Set"

            visible="true"

            id="colimas_plugin.actionSet">

         <menu

               label="Sample &amp;Menu"

               id="sampleMenu">

            <separator

                  name="sampleGroup">

            </separator>

         </menu>

         <action

               label="&amp;Sample Action"

               icon="icons/sample.gif"

               class="colimas_plugin.actions.SampleAction"

               tooltip="Hello, Eclipse world"

               menubarPath="sampleMenu/sampleGroup"

               toolbarPath="sampleGroup"

               id="colimas_plugin.actions.SampleAction">

         </action>

      </actionSet>

   </extension>



</plugin>



2 建立调用Web Service类,该类实现调用Axis的WebService

package com.nova.colimas.plugin.eclipse;

import org.apache.axis.client.Call;

import org.apache.axis.client.Service;

import javax.xml.namespace.QName;

import java.io.*;

/**

* @author tyrone

*

* Window - Preferences - Java - Code Style - Code Templates

*/

public class SendFileClient {



private Call call;

/**

  * The constructor.

  */

public SendFileClient() {

  try{

   Service  service= new Service();

   call    = (Call) service.createCall();

  }catch(Exception ex){

   System.out.println(ex.getMessage());

  }

}





public void saveFile(){

  try {

   String endpoint =

    "http://localhost:8080/axis/services/DocumentFileManagement";

   System.out.println("start web service");

   call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );

   call.setOperationName(new QName("http://soapinterop.org/", "saveFile"));

   File fp=new File("D:\\MyProject\\colimas\\colimas_plugin\\lib\\mail.jar");

   BufferedInputStream in=new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(fp));

   int len=in.available();

   byte[] contents=new byte[len];

   in.read(contents,0,len);

   System.out.println("begin run");



//开始调用Web Service:DocumentFileManagement的saveFile方法



   String ret = (String) call.invoke( new Object[] {fp.getName(),contents} );

   in.close();

  } catch (Exception e) {

   System.err.println("error"+e.toString());

  }

}



}



3 修改Action类的run方法

Action类的run方法里的内容是Eclipse插件真正要做到事

package colimas_plugin.actions;



import org.eclipse.jface.action.IAction;

import org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ISelection;

import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchWindow;

import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate;

import org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.MessageDialog;



import com.nova.colimas.plugin.eclipse.*;

/**

* Our sample action implements workbench action delegate.

* The action proxy will be created by the workbench and

* shown in the UI. When the user tries to use the action,

* this delegate will be created and execution will be 

* delegated to it.

* @see IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate

*/

public class SampleAction implements IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate {

private IWorkbenchWindow window;

/**

  * The constructor.

  */

public SampleAction() {

}



/**

  * The action has been activated. The argument of the

  * method represents the 'real' action sitting

  * in the workbench UI.

  * @see IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate#run

  */

public void run(IAction action) {

  SendFileClient client=new SendFileClient();

  client.saveFile();

  MessageDialog.openInformation(

    window.getShell(),

    "Colimas_plugin Plug-in",

    "Colimas Connected");

}



/**

  * Selection in the workbench has been changed. We 

  * can change the state of the 'real' action here

  * if we want, but this can only happen after 

  * the delegate has been created.

  * @see IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate#selectionChanged

  */

public void selectionChanged(IAction action, ISelection selection) {

}



/**

  * We can use this method to dispose of any system

  * resources we previously allocated.

  * @see IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate#dispose

  */

public void dispose() {

}



/**

  * We will cache window object in order to

  * be able to provide parent shell for the message dialog.

  * @see IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate#init

  */

public void init(IWorkbenchWindow window) {

  this.window = window;

}

}


4 调试

首先启动Axis服务器,然后选择Eclipse的Run菜单的Run As -〉Run time workbench。

这样会启动另一个Eclipse workbench,在这个workbench里你会看到toolbar里新增了一个按钮,

点击按钮就会调用Webservice并返回控制台结果。
