= JAX-WS @WebService example
Creating Web Services with JAX-WS is quite easy. Little has to be done
aside from annotating a class with `@WebService`. For the purposes of
this example we will also annotate our component with `@Stateless` which
takes some of the configuration out of the process and gives us some
nice options such as transactions and security.
== @WebService
The following is all that is required. No external xml files are needed.
This class placed in a jar or war and deployed into a compliant Java EE
server like TomEE is enough to have the Calculator class discovered and
deployed and the webservice online.
[source,java]
----
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.jws.WebService;
@Stateless
@WebService(
portName = "CalculatorPort",
serviceName = "CalculatorService",
targetNamespace = "http://superbiz.org/wsdl",
endpointInterface = "org.superbiz.calculator.ws.CalculatorWs")
public class Calculator implements CalculatorWs {
public int sum(int add1, int add2) {
return add1 + add2;
}
public int multiply(int mul1, int mul2) {
return mul1 * mul2;
}
}
----
== @WebService Endpoint Interface
Having an endpoint interface is not required, but it can make testing
and using the web service from other Java clients far easier.
[source,java]
----
import javax.jws.WebService;
@WebService(targetNamespace = "http://superbiz.org/wsdl")
public interface CalculatorWs {
public int sum(int add1, int add2);
public int multiply(int mul1, int mul2);
}
----
== Calculator WSDL
The wsdl for our service is autmatically created for us and available at
`http://127.0.0.1:4204/Calculator?wsdl`. In TomEE or Tomcat this would
be at `http://127.0.0.1:8080/simple-webservice/Calculator?wsdl`

== Accessing the @WebService with javax.xml.ws.Service
In our testcase we see how to create a client for our `Calculator`
service via the `javax.xml.ws.Service` class and leveraging our
`CalculatorWs` endpoint interface.
With this we can get an implementation of the interfacce generated
dynamically for us that can be used to send compliant SOAP messages to
our service.
[source,java]
----
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.Test;
import javax.ejb.embeddable.EJBContainer;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.ws.Service;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.Properties;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertNotNull;
public class CalculatorTest {
@BeforeClass
public static void setUp() throws Exception {
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("openejb.embedded.remotable", "true");
//properties.setProperty("httpejbd.print", "true");
//properties.setProperty("httpejbd.indent.xml", "true");
EJBContainer.createEJBContainer(properties);
}
@Test
public void test() throws Exception {
Service calculatorService = Service.create(
new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4204/Calculator?wsdl"),
new QName("http://superbiz.org/wsdl", "CalculatorService"));
assertNotNull(calculatorService);
CalculatorWs calculator = calculatorService.getPort(CalculatorWs.class);
assertEquals(10, calculator.sum(4, 6));
assertEquals(12, calculator.multiply(3, 4));
}
}
----
For easy testing we’ll use the Embeddable EJBContainer API part of EJB
3.1 to boot CXF in our testcase. This will deploy our application in the
embedded container and bring the web service online so we can invoke it.
== Running
Running the example can be done from maven with a simple `mvn clean
install' command run from the `simple-webservice' directory.
When run you should see output similar to the following.
[source,console]

sent between the clien and server.

=== Inside the jar
With so much going on it can make things look more complex than they
are. It can be hard to believe that so much can happen with such little
code. That’s the benefit of having an app server.
If we look at the jar built by maven, we’ll see the application itself
is quite small:
[source,java]

This single jar could be deployed any any compliant Java EE
implementation. In TomEE you’d simply place it in the
`tomee.home/webapps/` directory. No war file necessary. If you did want
to create a war, you’d simply place the jar in the `WEB-INF/lib/`
directory of the war.
The server already contains the right libraries to run the code, such as
Apache CXF, so no need to include anything extra beyond your own
application code.
