Chapter 18. Clients for JAX-RPC Web Services

When we created our JAX-RPC Web Service in Chapter 16, we created a client for the service as well. It would be impossible to create a Web Service and convince oneself that it was functioning properly without creating such a client to test out the service. However, for the most part, Web-Service clients will not be getting code from the service provider to access the service, but instead will be developing their own clients based solely on the information contained in the WSDL description of the service. In this chapter, we'll see how such clients can be created for our example Web Service.
