Consuming SOAP Service without creating/using RequestVO/ResponseVO on Client Side

Many times in ADF/Webcenter implementation projects, consuming SOAP services is one of the requirement. Web Services are consumed in ADF by creating Web Service Data Control or by generating proxys.

Some of the services expect very few input parameters may be 2-4 but most of the Web Services expect more parameters. For services which expect more number of parameters, most of the times, all the input variables are a part of RequestVO POJO object. Since this RequestVO is required to provide input to the WebService, the structure with attributes of POJO or VO expected by the service needs to be shared to the client making the request.

For example, in this post we will be taking a simple example of EmployeeService.
