Java – How do I build a SOAP web service in Spring Boot?

I’m learning a tutorial for producing soap web service in spring boot

This confuses me a bit. Like where is WSDL in the first place? Does this generate wsdl from countries.xsd? I don’t know how to test a web service in soapui without a wsdl file.

Can anyone help me.

In this tutorial, they take a bottom-up approach. If you want to get WSDL in this example

http://<host>:<port>/ws/countries.wsdl

Get national responses

$ curl --header "content-type: text/xml" -d @request.xml http://localhost:8080/ws

Here is the request .xml

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
                  xmlns:gs="http://spring.io/guides/gs-producing-web-service">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <gs:getCountryRequest>
         <gs:name>Spain</gs:name>
      </gs:getCountryRequest>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
