Axis2's WSDL 2.0 HTTP Code generation a.k.a Try Flickr API using Axis2

Step #1: Download Axis2 1.2 and set AXIS2_HOME

Step#2: Run WSDL2Java against the WSDL2.0 document we have come up for Flickr API as shown below:

wsdl2java.bat -u -wv 2.0 -uri http://wso2.org/repos/wso2/trunk/wsas/java/modules/samples/FlickrClient/wsdl/FlickrService.wsdl

Step #3: Write some code to execute the generated stub (see attached Main.java). Drop the Main.java into src directory.

Step #4: use http://idgettr.com/ to find the user id of your favorite flickr person. Example, Ken Coar's id is 88257575@N00

Step #5: Run "ant jar.client", set up your classpath with all axis2 jars and the generated service client jar and execute it. Here's my run.
