Author: R Searls
Level: Beginner
Technologies: JAX-WS
Summary: The jaxws-pojo quickstart is a working example of the web service endpoint created from a POJO.
Target Product: WildFly
Source: https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart/

What is it?

The jaxws-pojo quickstart demonstrates the use of JAX-WS in WildFly Application Server as a simple POJO web service application.

System Requirements

The application this project produces is designed to be run on WildFly Application Server 11 or later.

All you need to build this project is Java 8.0 (Java SDK 1.8) or later and Maven 3.3.1 or later. See Configure Maven for WildFly 11 to make sure you are configured correctly for testing the quickstarts.

Use of WILDFLY_HOME

In the following instructions, replace WILDFLY_HOME with the actual path to your WildFly installation. The installation path is described in detail here: Use of WILDFLY_HOME and JBOSS_HOME Variables.

Start the Server

  1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the root of the WildFly directory.
  2. The following shows the command line to start the server:
    For Linux:   WILDFLY_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
    For Windows: WILDFLY_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
    

Build and Deploy the Quickstart

  1. Make sure you have started the WildFly server as described above.
  2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
  3. Type this command to build and deploy the archive:
    mvn clean install wildfly:deploy
    
  4. This will deploy service/target/jaxws-pojo-service.war to the running instance of the server.

Access the Application

You can check that the Web Service is running and deployed correctly by accessing the following URL: http://localhost:8080/jaxws-pojo/JSEBean?wsdl. This URL will display the deployed WSDL endpoint for the Web Service.

Run the Client

  1. Make sure the service deployed properly.
  2. Open a command prompt and navigate into the client directory of this quickstart.
    cd client/
    
  3. Type this command to run the client.

    mvn exec:java        
    

    Note: This quickstart requires quickstart-parent artifact to be installed in your local Maven repository. To install it, navigate to quickstarts project root directory and run the following command:

    mvn clean install
    
  4. You should see the following response.

    JSEBean pojo: pojoClient calling
    

Undeploy the Archive

  1. Make sure you have started the WildFly server as described above.
  2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
  3. When you are finished testing, type this command to undeploy the archive:
    mvn wildfly:undeploy
    

Run the Quickstart in Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse

You can also start the server and deploy the quickstarts or run the Arquillian tests from Eclipse using JBoss tools. For general information about how to import a quickstart, add a WildFly server, and build and deploy a quickstart, see Use JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse to Run the Quickstarts.

For this quickstart, follow the special instructions to build Quickstarts Containing an EAR

  1. Right-click on the jaxws-pojo-service subproject, and choose Run As --> Run on Server.
  2. Choose the server and click Finish.
  3. This starts the server, deploys the application, and opens a browser window that accesses the running application.
  4. To undeploy the project, right-click on the jaxws-pojo-ear project and choose Run As --> Maven build. Enter wildfly:undeploy for the Goals and click Run.

Debug the Application

If you want to debug the source code of any library in the project, run the following command to pull the source into your local repository. The IDE should then detect it.

mvn dependency:sources
