## Quick Start with Docker (Recommended)
The easiest way to test this application is using Docker. No need to install Java, Maven, or Tomcat!
### Prerequisites
- [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) (Windows/Mac/Linux)
- OR [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) (Linux)
### Running with Docker Compose
**1. Start the application:**
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
**2. Wait for the application to start (about 30-40 seconds), then access:**
- **WSDL**: http://localhost:8080/jaxws-hello-world/hello?wsdl
- **Tomcat Manager**: http://localhost:8080/manager (username: `admin`, password: `admin123`)
**3. View logs:**
```bash
docker-compose logs -f
```
**4. Stop the application:**
```bash
docker-compose down
```
### Running with Docker (without Docker Compose)
**1. Build the Docker image:**
```bash
docker build -t jaxws-hello-world .
```
**2. Run the container:**
```bash
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name jaxws-service jaxws-hello-world
```
**3. View logs:**
```bash
docker logs -f jaxws-service
```
**4. Stop and remove the container:**
```bash
docker stop jaxws-service
docker rm jaxws-service
```
### Testing the Docker Deployment
Once the container is running, test the service:
```bash
# Check if WSDL is accessible
curl http://localhost:8080/jaxws-hello-world/hello?wsdl
# Test with a SOAP request
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/jaxws-hello-world/hello \
-H "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8" \
-H "SOAPAction: " \
-d '
Docker
'
```
## Testing with Python Scripts
Python test scripts are provided in the [scripts/](scripts/) folder for easy testing of the JAX-WS service.
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.6 or higher
- pip (Python package installer)
### Setup
**Install Python dependencies:**
Windows:
```cmd
cd scripts
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Linux/Mac:
```bash
cd scripts
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```
### Available Test Scripts
#### 1. Simple Test Script
Quick automated test with a single name:
```bash
# Test with default name "World"
python scripts/simple_test.py
# Test with custom name
python scripts/simple_test.py "Your Name"
```
**Example Output:**
```
Checking service availability...
[OK] WSDL is accessible
Calling service with: 'Your Name'
Response: Hello World, Your Name!
[PASS] Test PASSED!
```
#### 2. Interactive Test Script
Full-featured test client with automated tests and interactive mode:
```bash
python scripts/test_hello_world.py
```
**Features:**
- Checks WSDL availability
- Runs automated tests with predefined names
- Interactive mode for manual testing
- Pretty-prints SOAP requests and responses
**Example Session:**
```
============================================================
JAX-WS Hello World Service Test Client
============================================================
1. Checking WSDL availability...
WSDL is accessible
2. Testing Hello World Service...
Calling service with name: 'World'
Response: Hello World, World!
Calling service with name: 'Python Client'
Response: Hello World, Python Client!
3. Interactive Mode
--------------------------------------------------------
Enter a name (or 'quit' to exit): John
Response: Hello World, John!
Enter a name (or 'quit' to exit): quit
```
### Using the HelloWorldClient Class
You can also use the `HelloWorldClient` class in your own Python scripts:
```python
from scripts.test_hello_world import HelloWorldClient
# Create client
client = HelloWorldClient()
# Check service availability
is_available, message = client.check_wsdl()
print(message)
# Call the service
response = client.call_hello_world("Developer")
print(response) # Output: Hello World, Developer!
```
### Troubleshooting Python Tests
**Service Not Available:**
- Ensure Docker container is running: `docker ps | grep jaxws`
- Check service URL: `curl http://localhost:8080/jaxws-hello-world/hello?wsdl`
**Module Not Found:**
- Make sure you're in the project root directory
- Install dependencies: `pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt`
**Python Command Not Found:**
- Windows: Use `python` or `py`
- Linux/Mac: Use `python3`

If all commands return valid output, your environment is ready!
## Building the Project
```bash
mvn clean package
```
This will create a WAR file in the `target/` directory.
## Deploying
Deploy the generated WAR file to a servlet container like:
- Apache Tomcat 9+
- Jetty
- GlassFish
- WildFly
## Testing the Service
Once deployed, the service will be available at:
**WSDL URL**: `http://localhost:8080/jaxws-hello-world/services/hello?wsdl`
**Service Endpoint**: `http://localhost:8080/jaxws-hello-world/services/hello`
### Using SOAP UI or similar tool:
Send a SOAP request like:
```xml
World
```
Response:
```xml
Hello World, World!
```
