Web-service Call Using Oracle ADF Mobile Framework (Android)
Writing web service
I have written a simple webservice which will take String as parameter and return result in the form of String itself.
package samplewebservice; import javax.jws.WebMethod; import javax.jws.WebParam; import javax.jws.WebService; @WebService public class SampleService { public SampleService() { super(); } @WebMethod public String sayHello(@WebParam(name="name") String name){ return "Hello, "+name+" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"; } } Deploying Web-service
Once service developed you have to deploy that service on some server. I am using weblogic server to deploy HelloService(You can select any server). Start your server.
