Complex type messages

In this lab, we will create a simple service that manipulates the SOAP messages with complex type variables. We use an example about the perimeter and square computation of a rectangle. By the same way, you can deploy other complicated web services.

1. File → New → other → Oracle → Weblogic → Web services → Web service project.
2. Name it as RectangleService. Keep the defaut configuration and Finish.
   
   
   
3. Create a new package in the Java Resources\src folder: New → Package and name it as rec.ws.wlsa.
4. In side this package, create a Java class named Rectangle. Insert the following codes to this class:
   
   

   package rec.ws.wlsa;
    
   public class Rectangle {
    
   	public int perimeter;
   	public int square;
    
   }

5. Create a WebLogic Web Service under the rec.ws.wlsa package: Right click on the package → New → other → Oracle → Weblogic → Web services → WebLogic Web Service.
6. Name it as RectangleComputation and click Finish.
   
   
   
7. Replace the hello method by the following code:
   
   

   	@WebMethod
   	public Rectangle compute(@WebParam(name="width") int w, @WebParam(name="length") int l) {
   		Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
   		r.perimeter = w*l;
   		r.square = 2*(w+l);
   		return r;
   	}

8. Save file. Right click on the RectangleComputation.java file → Run As → Run on Server (or Alt+Shift+X,R).
9. Select the runing WebLogic Server → Next → Finish.
10. A Web Service client interface provided by Oracle Weblogic is opened. Click on Test.
11. Input the rectangle's width and length
    
    
    
12. You will get the result like the following:
    
    
    
13. Done.
