<h1>Code Generator Wizard Guide for Eclipse Plug-in</h1>
<p>This document explains the usage of this code generator plug-in
for Eclipse. In other words, this document will guide you through
the operations of generating a WSDL file from a Java class and/or
generating a Java class file from a WSDL file.</p>

<h2><a name="Introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p>The Axis2 code generator comes built-in with an <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.eclipse.org">Eclipse</a> plug-in. This plug-in can be
used to generate a WSDL file from a java class (Java2WSDL) and/or a
java class file from a WSDL (WSDL2Java). First you need to install
the plug-in. The instructions for the installation process are
given below.</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="Installation"></a>Installation</h2>
<p>
Installation instructions for the plugin can be found
<a href="plugin-installation.html">here</a>.
</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="Operation"></a>Operation</h2>
<div class="section">
<h3><a name="WSDL2Java"></a>WSDL2Java</h3>
<p>If the plug-in is properly installed you should see a new wizard
under the &quot;New&quot; section.(use the File -&gt; New -&gt; Other or Ctrl
+ N )</p>
<p><img src="images/wsdl2java-screen0.png" alt="wsdl2java-screen0" /></p>
<p>Selecting the wizard and pressing the &quot;Next&quot; button will start
the code generator wizard. Following is the first wizard page.</p>
<p><b>Page 1:</b></p>
<p><img src="images/wsdl2java-screen1.png" alt="wsdl2java-screen1" /></p>
<p>Selecting the &quot;Generate Java source code from WSDL file&quot; option
and clicking &quot;Next&quot; leads to the following page.</p>
<p><b>WSDL2Java Page 2 :</b></p>
<p><img src="images/wsdl2java-screen2.png" alt="wsdl2java-screen2" /></p>
<p>To move on to the next page the WSDL file location must be
given. The &quot;Browse&quot; button can be used to easily browse for a file
rather than typing the whole path.</p>
<p><b>WSDL2Java Page 3 :</b></p>
<p>Once the WSDL file is selected, the next page will take you to
the page from where <b>codegen options</b> are to be
selected. By far this is the most important page in this wizard.
This page determines the characteristics of the code being
generated.</p>
<p>Novices need not worry about these options since the most common
options are defaulted, but advanced users will find it very easy to
turn the knobs using these options.</p>
<p><img src="images/wsdl2java-screen3.png" alt="wsdl2java-screen3" /></p>
<p>What advanced users can do is select custom from the select
codegen options drop down list and then change/edit the fields that
you need.</p>
<p><img src="images/wsdl2java-screen31.png" alt="wsdl2java-screen31" /></p>
<p>Once the options are selected, only the final step of the code
generation is left which is the selection of the output file
location.</p>
<p><b>WSDL2Java Page 4 :</b></p>
<p>Here you can select the output file path by typing or browsing
using the &quot;Browse&quot; button. You have the option of browsing only
eclipse workspace projects by selecting the &quot;Add the source to a
project on current eclipse workspace&quot; radio button. Or else you
have the option to save the codegen resutls to file system</p>
<p><img src="images/wsdl2java-screen4.png" alt="wsdl2java-screen4" /></p>
<p>Here also you have the option to add some value to the codegen
results. If you have enabled the check box &quot;Add Axis2 libraries to
the codegen result project&quot; then all other controls below will get
enabled. What you can do is point the downloaded Axis2_HOME
location via the &quot;Browse&quot; button. Then you can verify the
availability of the Axis2 libs by clicking on the &quot;Check Libs&quot;
button. If all goes well then you can add the axis 2 libs to the
codegen results location. Another option is available to generate a
jar file if the user needs to add the codegen results to a project
as a compiled jar file to the selected locations lib directory.</p>
<p><img src="images/wsdl2java-screen41.png" alt="wsdl2java-screen41" /></p>
<p>When the output file location is selected, the &quot;Finish&quot; button
will be enabled. Clicking the &quot;Finish&quot; button will generate the
code and a message box will pop up acknowledging the success. Well
Done! You've successfully completed Axis2 code generation.</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h3><a name="Java2WSDL"></a>Java2WSDL</h3>
<p><b>Page 1:</b></p>
<p>For this operation you need to select the option which says
&quot;Generate a WSDL from a Java source file&quot;</p>
<p><img src="images/java2wsdl-screen0.png" alt="java2wsdl-screen0" /></p>
<p>Then click the &quot;Next&quot; button which will lead to the next page
below.</p>
<p><b>Java2WSDL Page 2:</b></p>
<p><img src="images/java2wsdl-screen1.png" alt="java2wsdl-screen1" /></p>
<p>In this page one needs to select the class to be exposed and the
relevant jar files /classes to be loaded as the classpath. After
the libraries have been set, the &quot;Test Class Loading&quot; button must
be clicked in order to test whether the class is loadable. Unless
the class loading is successful proceeding to the &quot;Next&quot; button
will not be enabled.</p>
<p>Once the classloading is successful and &quot;Next&quot; button is clicked
the page below will appear.</p>
<p><b>Java2WSDL Page 3:</b></p>
<p>This page allows the parameters to be modified by setting the
options for the generator.</p>
<p><img src="images/java2wsdl-screen2.png" alt="java2wsdl-screen2" /></p>
<p><b>Java2WSDL Page 4:</b></p>
<p>Here you can select the output file path by typing or browsing
using the &quot;Browse&quot; button. You have the option of browsing only
Eclipse workspace projects by selecting the &quot;Add the source to a
project on current eclipse workspace&quot; radio button . Or else you
have the option to save the codegen resutls to file system. Once
the output file location and the output WSDL file name is added you
can click the &quot;Finish&quot; button to complete generation.</p>
<p><img src="images/java2wsdl-screen3.png" alt="java2wsdl-screen3" /></p>
<p>If a message box pops up acknowledging the success, then you've
successfully completed the Java2WSDL code generation.</p>
