Getting Started with Apache Axis

You can use Apache Axis2/Java to implement a client application that uses the Luminate Online Web Services. This topic outlines the process.

1. Install a Java Development Kit, version 5 or newer. You should be able to execute javac -version from a shell or command prompt.
2. Install Apache Axis2, and Apache Ant. You should be able to execute ant -version and WSDL2Java from a shell or command prompt.
3. Execute the following to generate the client databindings using ADB. (Replace SITE with your site shortname, and ensure you have the correct cluster.) WSDL2Java -uri http://webservices.cluster[2 or 3].convio.net/1.0/SITE/wsdl -p com.convio.webservice. client -d adb -ss -g -uw -s
4. Copy the following test program into src/com/convio/webservice/client/DataSyncClient.java, changing SITE, cluster, myapiuser, and myapipassword to reflect your actual settings.
   Java

   Copy

   package com.convio.webservice.client;
   
   import com.convio.soap.*;
   import com.convio.webservice.client.*;
   public class DataSyncClient {
      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
         String endpointUrl = "http://webservices.cluster[2 or 3].convio.net/1.0/SITE";
         ConvioServiceStub stub = new ConvioServiceStub(endpointUrl);
   
         System.out.println("Connecting to " + endpointUrl);
   
         LoginResult loginRes = stub.Login("myapiuser", "myapipassword");
   
         System.out.println("Login successful: " + loginRes.getSessionId());
      }
   }

5. Build the client by typing ant jar.client.
6. Run the client by typing axis2 -cp build\lib\ConvioService-test-client.jar com.convio.webservice.client.DataSyncClient.
