Unable to convert WSDL url to JAVA

Question

I'm working on a Spring Boot project. I have a 3rd party to use its service. It provides me WSDL url but I really new to the WSDL. I've found that if I want to connect its service I need to convert WSDL to the JAVA class.

So, I've found 2 solutions to do this.

1. Using "wsimport -keep -verbose http://compA.com/ws/server?wsdl"

refer: https://mkyong.com/webservices/jax-ws/jax-ws-wsimport-tool-example/

When I attempt on this method I get below error.

The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to locate a Java Runtime that supports wsimport. Please visit http://www.java.com for information on installing Java.

Here is my java --version

java 19.0.1 2022-10-18

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 19.0.1+10-21)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0.1+10-21, mixed mode, sharing)

2. Using Eclipse

According to How do you convert WSDLs to Java classes using Eclipse?, my Eclipse has no Web Services option to be selected even I download Eclipse from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2022-09/r/eclipse-ide-enterprise-java-and-web-developers

Answer 1

I would do the following steps:

• put the WSDL in my repo anyway to see later changes
• create a maven or gradle task to have the "WSDL to java generation" with JAXB whenever I will need it: https://spring.io/guides/gs/consuming-web-service/#initial
• extend from WebServiceGatewaySupport to have a client
