jax-ws webservices in jboss or tomcat

Now JAX-RPC has been replaced by new standard JAX-WS, so I thought it is good time to write an entry for JAX-WS as well. Building web services with JAX-WS is pretty straight forward though it might look cumbersome to a newbie. In this entry I am going explain the basic steps for building a Java first web service, which I developed and tested with JAX-WS 2.1.4, Java 6 update 6 and Tomcat 6.0.16.
Step #1 - Write an interface


@WebService(targetNamespace = "http://vinodsingh.com", name = "MyService")
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, use = SOAPBinding.Use.LITERAL)
public interface MyService {

String sayHello(@WebParam(name = "name") String name);
}Step #2 - Implement the interface

@WebService(endpointInterface = "pkg.MyService")
public class MyServiceImpl implements MyService {

@Override
public String sayHello(String name) {
return "Hello " + name + "!";
}
}Step #3 - Configure web.xml

The JAX-WS context listener and servlet are required to be configured in deployment descriptor (web.xml). The WSServletContextListener initializes and configures the web service endpoint and WSServlet serves the service requests using implementing class.
----------------------------
<listener>
<listener-class>
com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener
</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>jaxws
<servlet-class>com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServlet
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jaxws
<url-pattern>/myService
</servlet-mapping>
-----------------------------
Step #4 - sun-jaxws.xml

The JAX-WS RI uses information available in this file while initializing and configuring a web service endpoint. This file should be present in WEB-INF directory.

<endpoints
xmlns='http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-ws/ri/runtime'
version='2.0'>
<endpoint
name='myService'
implementation='pkg.MyServiceImpl'
url-pattern='/myService' />
</endpoints>
