JAX-WS Servlet Endpoint

The basic steps to write a Servlet end point approach is:

• Write a POJO class
• Annotate it
• Configure in web.xml
• Build and deploy.

WSDL file is generated automatically

Make a web application. In eclipse you can make a project which is a dynamic web project.

Let's write a POJO bean class which can be invoked by sending a SOAP Request which contains a string and it will return the response "Hello World" + input String.

POJO class:

@WebService

@SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.RPC)

public class HelloBean{

@WebMethod

public String hello(String name){

   return "Hello " + name;

  }

}

Note the annotation on the bean class. The class does not implements any interface.

Register this bean as a servlet in the web,xml

<servlet>

      <servlet-name>helloBean</servlet-name>

      <servlet-class>com.oyeJava.HelloBean</servlet-class>

  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>

      <servlet-name>helloBean</servlet-name>

      <url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>

  </servlet-mapping>

Deploy the war in your server and hit the service at:

http://<hostname>/JAX_WS_HelloWorld/hello?wsdl

Please change the host name with your host name and JAX_WS_HelloWorld with your application context.
