Installation

Unpack the Distribution

We assume that you have downloaded the binary distribution of WSDL4J and have extracted the archive into the root directory. Thus, the files from the distribution are in the directory /wsdl4j-@version@/.

Your classpath must contain the following:

• /wsdl4j-@version@/lib/wsdl4j.jar
• /wsdl4j-@version@/lib/qname.jar or any other compliant javax.xml.namespace.QName implementation
• a JAXP compatible, namespace-aware XML parser such as Apache Xerces

Test your WSDL4J Installation

The com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLWriterImpl class includes a static main method that can be used to check if the WSDL4J dependencies can be resolved. This method takes the name of a WSDL file as an argument, reads the file in, and then writes it back to standard out.

For example, to use com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLWriterImpl to read a file named test.wsdl, you would execute the following statement:

java com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLWriterImpl test.wsdl

If the WSDL4J dependencies can be resolved, you should see the contents of the WSDL file written to standard out.
