JDK 6 WebServices: publishing with tomcat

Question

Hi people:
JDK 6 WebServices seem to be pretty cool.
According to the JDK 6 Web Services tutorials, it is possible to publish web services in a "built-in lightweight container" that is a standard in JDK 6. However, I could not find the way to publish my JDK 6 WebService in tomcat. Is there any way to do it?

Answer 1

To use servlet-based webservice you will need:
1) Generate wsdl, I use this in my ant script:
<!-- generate portable artifacts Java-to-WSDL (wsgen) -->
<target name="run.wsgen" depends="init, init.wsgen, compile.server">
<echo message="Invoking WsGen task (Java-to-WSDL mapping)" />
<exec executable="wsgen">
<arg value="-verbose"/>
<arg value="-classpath"/>
<arg
value="${build.classes.dir}"/>
<arg value="-d"/>
<arg
value="${build.generated.dir}/wsgen"/>
<arg value="-wsdl" />
<arg value="-keep" />
<arg
value="${impl.class}"/>
</exec>
<copy todir="${build.classes.dir}">
<fileset dir="${build.generated.dir}/wsgen" includes="**/*.xml, **/*.class"/>
</copy>
</target>
${impl.class} -- is your java implementation
2) In web.xml:
<listener>
<listener-class>com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>your-mapped-servlert-name-here</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>your-mapped-servlert-name-here</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/your-url-pattern</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
3) Include sun-jaxws.xml in your WEB-INF:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<endpoints version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-ws/ri/runtime">
<endpoint implementation="package.class" name="your-mapped-servlert-name-here" url-pattern=/your-url-pattern"/>
</endpoints>
4) you will need the following jars: jaxws-rt, jaxb-impl, jaxb-xjc, stax-ex and streambuffer
5) Build a war file, which includes wsgen-generated classes from step 1.
6) You will need to setup soapUI to test it on Tomcat
Bon chance!
