Spring WS - Static WSDL

In the previous chapter Spring -WS - First Application, we have generated WSDL automatically using the Spring WS Configuration. In this case, we will display how to expose the existing WSDL using the Spring WS.

Running the Project

Once you are done with creating source and configuration files, create the war file using maven install command and save your leaveservice.war file available in /target folder in Tomcat's webapps folder.

Now start your Tomcat server and make sure you are able to access other webpages from webapps folder using a standard browser. Now, try to access the URL − http://localhost:8080/leaveService/leave.wsdl. If everything is fine with the Spring Web Application, we will see the following screen.
