OpenLDBWS Java Example

This repository contains examples of how to use the National Rail Live Departure Boards Web Service (OpenLDBWS), located at the following URL:

• https://lite.realtime.nationalrail.co.uk/OpenLDBWS/

To use the service, you will need a token which is available by signing up at the following URL:

• https://realtime.nationalrail.co.uk/OpenLDBWSRegistration/

Edit GetDepartureBoardExample and set LDB_TOKEN to your own token.

Next, generate a set of classes from the WSDL file by running:

mvn generate-sources

This will create a number of files in src/main/java/com/thalesgroup which you can use in your own code to call the OpenLDBWS.

Runing GetDepartureBoardExample will show you departures for London Euston.

Updating the WSDL

Periodically, a new version of the WSDL will be released at:

• https://lite.realtime.nationalrail.co.uk/OpenLDBWS/

This code is written for version 2021-11-01. To update it to use a later version, edit pom.xml and change the URL for the WSDL inside the plugins tag.
