Client

If you invoke wsdl2java on the above WSDL document, you can run this client to interact with the service:

package whois;
                                                                           
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
                                                                           
public class Client
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
    |   String name = args.length > 0 ? args[0] : "Novell.com";
    |   InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
    |   WhoIsService service = (WhoIsService)
    |       ctx.lookup("xmlrpc:soap:whois.WhoIsService");
    |   WhoIsServiceSoap whois = service.getWhoIsServiceSoap();
    |   System.out.println(whois.whoIs(name));
    }
}

Please refer to the README file for details on how to build and run the example.
