Webservices and WS clients in netbeans

[David Dirga]

Hello,
I've recently started experimenting with WS in netbeans. Having very little idea about java's approach to the issue, I've followed a tutorial. I managed to create a web project for webservice, java console project for a client and everything worked fine.
I'm now trying to have individual WS communicate with each other, call WS methods from WS methods themselves. I was hoping to achieve that by making webservice clients in the same project and making calls the same way it worked in tutorial aplication (for example by drawing the method I need to call from webservices reference to the code).
I ran into two different problems (on different versions on netbeans, but I suspect that's just coincidence). For one, when I draw two different methods from two different webservice clients (references) to the code, it creates first a variable called service (of type <WebserviceName>Service) wchich works fine, then a service_1 variable which reports as symbol not found.
I tried updating to NB 6.7 and before I even got this far, I ran into NB generating code for the clients, including interfaces with same names as are those of WS classes, putting them into the same package (as generated code) - which leads to duplicate class error.
I'd like to ask
1) Is my approach maybe generally wrong?
and if not
2) How to avoid the duplicate class problem (jax-ws client doesn't allow me to specify package)
3) What's with this service_1 variable.
Thanks for help,
David Dirga

Hi.

It's generally not recommended to create WS client in the same project
as web service. Anyway, in your case it has a sense.
Actually, in 6.7 or 6.5 release it is possible to specify a package
name where Client java artifacts should be generated :

- set "package" option to wsimport in :

WEB Service References | WS Node | Edit WS Attributes | Wsimport Options

e.g.

Option Value
package org.mypackage.com

(and for sure clean & build the project)

The package cannot be specified in WS Client wizard. However, this was
already fixed. Next release should be fine.

Sorry for inconvenience.
