Consuming WSDL in Clojure

clojure, wsdl

Solution

cd your_project_dir/src
wsimport -p some.import.ns http://.../service?wsdl

It would create `./some.import.ns/*.class`. So you can just `use` them in your clojure project

(ns your.ns ...
  (:import [some.import.ns some_WS_Service ...]))

(let [port (-> (some_WS_Service.) 
               .getSome_WS_ServicePort]
  (... (.someMethod port) ...))

Problem

I need to consume a WSDL web service and the Java client-side code I've seen so far looks bloated and complicated. I was wondering whether a cleaner solution might exist in Clojure so that I may perhaps implement that part in Clojure and expose a simpler API to the Java code.
