Building the client

Next, we demonstrate the new -clientjar option in wsimport to generate a JAR file for the web service portable artifacts and WSDLs to be made available to the JAX-WS runtime when the web service is invoked from a client.

Specify the WSDL URL as http://localhost:8080/clientjar/hellows?wsdl with the wsdl attribute. In the wsdl URL, clientjar is the WAR file name for the deployed web service and hellows is the servlet pattern to invoke the web service servlet as specified in web.xml. As the JAR file is to be made available to the client at runtime, specify the package name the same as the package for the client class:
