Exposing Java method as Web service

Question

Hello,
I would like to know how can I make a Java Method expose as a webservice using BPEL.
I have created a java class To do some processing. I want to make this as a service. Is there any sample code to do this? Please provide any links..

If you used the Web Service Wizard the easiest thing to do is:
1. Delete the WS class - when prompted also delete all artifacts - you should now see your original class files. *
2. Add extra methods.
3. Regenerate web service using same parameters as previously (make sure you use the same namespaces).
(4. Apply any customisations you made)
*Occasionally this will not work and will not remove the references to the WS artifacts from the project file, in this case you will need to manually remove them from the project xml file.
You can also edit the project to make the classes visible (can't remember the exact steps for this, it's been a while), change the classes and regenerate services, however this will overwrite any customisations you have made, so is little different to removing the artifacts and regenerating.
Finally you can make the classes visible as above, updatethem and then manually edit the other web service artefacts (<name>-java-wsdl-mapping.xml,webservices.xml, oracle-webservices .xml, Interface, etc). This is a lot more tedious than using autogeneration.
