Grails able to call JAX-WS?

[FalconXtreme]

I've been tasked to use GoG to make a web app that will have the ability to call methods from some web services deployed on my local glassfish app server. ive been searching but i've found nothing that shows me how to use deployed web services with in a GoG web app. the point of this is so that i can rapidly create web apps to input data into my web services to test them. any help would be much appreciated.

You have a few options depending on your requirements.

One option is to use HTTPBuilder[1] to hand craft your soap requests.

Another is to use GroovyWS[2] to provide an abstraction over SOAP.

Another is to use the client component of SpringWS[3].

In short, there is nothing Grails specific about this. Pick a Groovy  
or Java library for calling SOAP services and go for it.

[2] - http://groovy.codehaus.org/GroovyWS
[3] - http://static.springsource.org/spring-ws/sites/1.5/

You can try http://grails.org/plugin/ws-client - it is based on GroovyWS.

how do i install the jar for groovyWS?  or how do i configure grails to use my proxy settings so i can access the internet? i also will need help on how to call my mvn built web services. the .ear is already deployed on my glassfish app server but i'm not sure what dependencies GoG will need and how to include them so the app will run.
