The xrpcc Tool

Dale Green

Part of the JAX-RPC reference implementation, the xrpcc tool generates stubs, ties, and other files. Stubs and ties are class files that enable communication between a remote client and a Web service. To see how stubs and ties fit into the JAX-RPC stack, see Figure 1.

In addition to stubs and ties, the xrpcc tool can generate either Remote Method Invocation (RMI) interfaces, or Web Services Description Language (WSDL) documents. If the tool's input is a WSDL document, then it produces RMI interfaces. If the input is a set of RMI interfaces, then it creates WSDL documents. You specify the files to be generated in the xrpcc configuration file.

For an example of how to run the tool, see Generating the Stubs and Ties.
