Enunciate was originally designed to support code-first Web service development. However, there are times when a code-first development strategy is not possible, and it would still be nice to leverage some of Enunciate's features like generated client-side code.

The wsimport tool takes a WSDL document and generates the server-side JAX-WS stubs for the endpoints defined in the WSDL. This means the process for contract-first development involves three simple steps:

  1. Run wsimport on the contract to generate the stubs
  2. Provide implementations of the stubs
  3. Invoke Enunciate

These steps probably deserve more elaboration, but for now you'll have to make do with an example:

svn co http://svn.codehaus.org/enunciate/trunk/enunciate/integration-tests/epcis/
cd epcis
mvn clean package cargo:start

Note especially the POM file which runs wsimport and the implementation of the generated stubs.

Assuming all went well, you should be able to see the contract-first-developed application at http://localhost:8080/epcis.
