The Currency Converter Web service is made using java and it doesn't need database sevices as it reads the json file using a URL. The client application is created using flask framework as a web application.

Server is created using java and the server reads currency data using a url there is no need for placing a .json file or a creating database. There are 2 ways to run the server.

1. Import currency_server\project_files folder as a project.
2. Add json-simple-1.1.1.jar as a dependency of the project structure > modules.
3. Run Server.java file and server will be hosted on http://localhost:8888/currency_server

1. Get the currency_server.war from currency_server folder.
2. Install Apache Tomcat server(7.0.47).
3. Add json-simple-1.1.1.jar file to the lib\ folder of the Tomcat server.
4. Deploy the war file using an Apache Tomcat server. (Tested on Apache Tomcat 7.0.47)
5. You can visit WSDL of the site by using http://localhost:8080/currency_server/services/ServerImpl?wsdl. (URL could change depending on the configuration settings)

Client Application is made with flask framework.

1. Create a virtual environment and install the required modules using the requirements.txt file.

$ python -m venv venv
$ .\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
$ pip install -r .\requirements.txt

2. Copy all the client directories and files to your project directory.

3. Update the URL global variable to your WSDL url. (URL may change depending on the method you are using to host the server.)

4. After that run run.py file using python3 run.py.(Make sure you are still inside the virtual environment.)

There are 2 web services in the web server.

1. convert(amountInSourceCurrency: xsd:float, sourceCurrency: xsd:string, targetCurrency: xsd:string) -> convertReturn: xsd:float
2. currencyData() -> currencyDataReturn: xsd:string

First function is convert() which takes amountInSourceCurrency, sourceCurrency and, targetCurrency and returns the value of the target currency as a float value. Second Function does not take any extra parameters and it returns a string of comma-separated currency names.
