JBOSS EAP 5.1.2 & Sun Metro JAX-WS
Jboss does have their own web service implementation which is JBossWS-CXF, based out of Apache CXF. But if you are into JAX-WS metro stack you can simply use it with jboss.
1. Overide the class loader to load SUN Metro stack instead jboss supplied jax-ws version.
create "jboss-web.xml" file in "WEB-INF" folder with following content.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jboss-web> <context-root>/MyApp</context-root> <class-loading java2ClassLoadingCompliance="false"> <loader-repository> org.myapp:loader=MyApp.war <loader-repository-config> java2ParentDelegation=false </loader-repository-config> </loader-repository> </class-loading> </jboss-web>
2. Add WSServletContextListener listner to web.xml file
<listener> <listener-class>com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener</listener-class> </listener>
3. Add servlet and servlet mapping for WSServlet
<servlet> <servlet-name>WSServlet</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>WSServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> <!-- <url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern> --> </servlet-mapping>
You may now get your web service not only work but dynamic WSDL creation also working.
