Creating Radio Reference Library
The Radio Reference API uses an older WSDL format that is not compatible with modern
versions of wsimport (2.x+). Generating a library from this WSDL requires an older version of Apache Axis.
Go to http://apache.is.co.za/axis/axis/java/1.4/ and download axis-bin-1_4.zip.
Extract axis 1.4 into a directory and you should have the following files (among others) in a /libs folder:
- axis.jar
- commons-discovery-0.2.jar
- commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
- jaxrpc.jar
- saaj.jar
- wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar
Additionally, download the following two jars and store them in the same Axis 1.4 libs folder
- http://central.maven.org/maven2/javax/activation/activation/1.1/activation-1.1.jar
- http://www.java2s.com/Code/JarDownload/java-mail/java-mail-1.4.jar.zip (and extract it)
Open a command prompt and navigate to the libs folder and execute this command:
java -classpath commons-discovery-0.2.jar:axis.jar:commons-logging-1.0.4.jar:jaxrpc.jar:saaj.jar:wsdl4j- 1.5.1.jar:java-mail-1.4.jar:activation-1.1.jar:log4j-1.2.8.jar org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java -B http://api.radioreference.com/soap2/?wsdl&v=14
This will create a folder /com in the /libs folder and will also generate (-B option) an ant build script.
Change the wsdl version from 14 to the latest version number.
Edit the build.xml file and change the jar name in this line from ?wsdl to radioreference-14.jar:
Run ant from the same folder to create the radioreference-14.jar library
