Try It Out
Your application's view messages functionality should now work. Start up both your web service and your application. Then point your browser to
http://localhost:8080/cxf-client-example/viewMessages.do
(well, substitute in your host, port and context path!) and you should see the pair of hardcoded messages that we created in the last article:
If you got the screen above, then it's working! Your application is pulling the messages from a web service, and transparently so. If you decide you don't want to use web services, no problem: just pull the web service out and wire the service bean right into your MVC controller or other client class.
I hope you found this useful. As always let me know if you have comments, questions or corrections.
