Invoke SOAP Web Service from GWT on the server side.

[AgitoM]

For a big GWT project I am working on, we need to to retrieve data
from other computer systems. Based on my previous experience, a good
way to integrate these two systems, is to integrate them together
using a SOAP based Web Service.

Preferably I would like to server side of my GWT project to invoke the
Web Service of the other system, and retrieve some data which is then
send back to the client using GWT's normal RPC methods.

I've tried creating such a integration using AXIS2 in Eclipse. This
however does not seem to work well. Therefore I would like to ask if
anyone knows what is the way Google prefers for GWT projects to make
Web Service calls?

I've tried Googling for solutions for a significant amount of time,
but couldn't find much.
Anyone have any idea?

Hi Agito,

when you on the server side, you can do anything you can do with java.
No limits from GWT applies.

With other word, you may ask any other java group, too

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your reply. Well thats what I indeed thought as well.
But for some reason invoking a service using AXIS2 is causing me a
problem, hence I decided to ask if there was any restriction.
Well, I will just keep on trying and getting it to work.
Once I do, I will post a solution here.

In the meanwhile, if anyone has a good idea on how to do it, feel free
to post here.

I gave up on alot of Java on the server side for 'glue code', and have
been coding in Groovy.

Calling a Web Service is basically 2-3 lines of code

http://groovy.codehaus.org/GroovyWS

it takes a bit of set-up for COMPILED Groovy, ant tasks, Groovy Plugin
for Eclipse.... YMMV

I had troubles trying to use JAX-WS.

But i realized that the troubles were on Jetty server, so i deployed
the application in a Tomcat and it works great.

Maybe it could help you.
