Chapter 22. Bottom-Up Service Development
Abstract
There are many instances where you have Java code that already implements a set of functionality that you want to expose as part of a service oriented application. You may also simply want to avoid using WSDL to define your interface. Using JAX-WS annotations, you can add the information required to service enable a Java class. You can also create a Service Endpoint Interface (SEI) that can be used in place of a WSDL contract. If you want a WSDL contract, Apache CXF provides tools to generate a contract from annotated Java code.
22.1. Introduction to JAX-WS Service Development
To create a service starting from Java you must do the following:
- Create a Service Endpoint Interface (SEI) that defines the methods you want to expose as a service.NoteYou can work directly from a Java class, but working from an interface is the recommended approach. Interfaces are better suited for sharing with the developers who are responsible for developing the applications consuming your service. The interface is smaller and does not provide any of the service's implementation details.
- Add the required annotations to your code.
- Generate the WSDL contract for your service.NoteIf you intend to use the SEI as the service's contract, it is not necessary to generate a WSDL contract.
- Publish the service as a service provider.
