This section includes an example of a complete client application that demonstrates the basic client capability. The sample client application prints out the product name, server type, and product version to demonstrate that it is connected and able to retrieve information from the server.

While Java Test Client Application is a complete client application that demonstrates the basic client capability, it uses a slightly different format than the Java sample files in the SDK\ directory. This example, and the Java samples that are included with your vSphere Web Service SDK, have been compiled using JAX-WS bindings.

Most of the vSphere Web Services SDK samples do not handle exceptions, and they accept all security certificates. Use the samples as examples for extracting the types of data you want to view, but do not use these security or exception techniques in your production applications.
