[fw-webservices] [Question] How to create a Java client for a Zend_Soap server using autodiscover functionality

Hi,
I try to create a Java client for testing at least one web service function
from the WSDL generated by Zend autodiscover. First I'm going to explain how
to reach the point where you can generate a Java client then I'll explain
why I'm blocked and I cannot call the web service function.

***********************************************************
First write the server code is:
***********************************************************
$autodiscover = new Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover();
//the following is important, because Java didn't want to generate if it was
'use' => 'encoded'
$autodiscover->setOperationBodyStyle(
array('use' => 'literal',
'namespace' => $CFG->wwwroot)
);
$autodiscover->setBindingStyle(
array('style' => 'rpc')
);
$autodiscover->setClass('ws_authentication');
$autodiscover->handle();
************************************************************
The loaded class
************************************************************
class ws_authentication {
/**
* Here the function I'm going to call, note that the param is an
associative Array containing string
* @param array|struct $params
* @return integer
*/
function get_token($params) {
if ($params['username'] == 'wsuser' && $params['password'] ==
'wspassword') {
return '456';
} else {
throw new moodle_exception('wrongusernamepassword');
}
}
}
*************************************************************

I can generate some class from Netbeans:
1. Create an empty basic Java project
2. On the project title, right click, select create web service client
3. Choose JAX-RPC style and enter the WSDL address
4. Click on finish, some classes should be generated
5. Insert Code in the Main.java ... call web service operation

At this moment I have the following line:
_ws_authenticationPort.get_token();

I have to pass some params inside the function that are a new java generated
class call Array(), that should contains some sort of SOAPElement. I have no
idea how to create these params. In the PHP server side you can see that is
a associative array.
Were the classes well generated? How to use them ?

Thanks,
Jerome
