JAX-WS + Spring integration example

Here’s a guide to show you how to integrate Spring with JAX-WS, as mention in this link : http://jax-ws-commons.java.net/spring/. Upon finishing this tutorial, you will create a simple HelloWorld web service (JAX-WS), and DI a bean into the web service via Spring.

1. Project Folder

See the final project folder structure.

2. Project Dependencies

Use Maven to get all the library dependencies. The key to integrate Spring with JAX-WS is via jaxws-spring.jar.

File : pom.xml

           </configuration>
       </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

Note
The jaxws-spring’s pom.xml has a lot of unnecessary dependencies, you may need to exclude it via </exclusions> tag.

3. JAX-WS Hello World

A simple JAX-WS example, and dependency inject (DI) “HelloWorldBo” via Spring.

File : HelloWorldWS.java


package com.mkyong.ws;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;

import com.mkyong.bo.HelloWorldBo;

@WebService
public class HelloWorldWS{

	//DI via Spring
	HelloWorldBo helloWorldBo;

	@WebMethod(exclude=true)
	public void setHelloWorldBo(HelloWorldBo helloWorldBo) {
		this.helloWorldBo = helloWorldBo;
	}

	@WebMethod(operationName="getHelloWorld")
	public String getHelloWorld() {
		
		return helloWorldBo.getHelloWorld();
		
	}
 
}

4. Beans

Here’s the HelloWorldBo class, with a getHelloWorld() method to return a simple string.

File : HelloWorldBo.java


package com.mkyong.bo;

public interface HelloWorldBo{

	String getHelloWorld();
	
}

File : HelloWorldBoImpl.java


package com.mkyong.bo.impl;

import com.mkyong.bo.HelloWorldBo;

public class HelloWorldBoImpl implements HelloWorldBo{

	public String getHelloWorld(){
		return "JAX-WS + Spring!";
	}
	
}

5. Spring Beans Configuration

Spring beans configuration file to bind URL pattern “/hello” to “com.mkyong.ws.HelloWorldWS” web service class.

File : applicationContext.xml


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:ws="http://jax-ws.dev.java.net/spring/core"
       xmlns:wss="http://jax-ws.dev.java.net/spring/servlet"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
       http://jax-ws.dev.java.net/spring/core
        http://jax-ws.dev.java.net/spring/core.xsd
        http://jax-ws.dev.java.net/spring/servlet
        http://jax-ws.dev.java.net/spring/servlet.xsd"
>
 
    <wss:binding url="/hello">
        <wss:service>
            <ws:service bean="#helloWs"/>
        </wss:service>
    </wss:binding>

    <!-- Web service methods -->
    <bean id="helloWs" class="com.mkyong.ws.HelloWorldWS">
    	<property name="helloWorldBo" ref="HelloWorldBo" />
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="HelloWorldBo" class="com.mkyong.bo.impl.HelloWorldBoImpl" />
    
</beans>

Note
With this jaxws-spring integration mechanism, the sun-jaxws.xml file is no longer required.

6. web.xml

In web.xml, declares “com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSSpringServlet“, and link it to “/hello“.


<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4" 
	xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" 
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
	http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

	<display-name>Spring + JAX-WS</display-name>

	<servlet>
    	        <servlet-name>jaxws-servlet</servlet-name>
    	       <servlet-class>
    		          com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSSpringServlet
    	        </servlet-class>
  	</servlet>
	
	<servlet-mapping>
                <servlet-name>jaxws-servlet</servlet-name>
                <url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
         </servlet-mapping>
 
         <!-- Register Spring Listener -->
  	<listener>
    	        <listener-class>
    		     org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
    	        </listener-class>
  	</listener>
  	
</web-app>

7. Demo

Start the project, and access the deployed web service via URL “/hello“, for example http://localhost:8080/WebServicesExample/hello?wsdl

Very nice and simple tutorial, Anybody with minimal spring knowledge can go through and run this example to have very basic understanding of spring web services, Which can be further built up to the level one aspires, Kudos !! you’re really a saviour in wave of new technologies 🙂

DO we need to add any other configuration to make it work for Websphere application? I tried to deploy it creating war or ear; the application server didn’t recognize it.

This is the 5th or 6th example/tutorial I am following from your side.

In most of these you follow a pattern in which in the first step you show the directory structure.

It seems from the eclipse ide. However, you dont mention which option you took to create the project. I mean particularly for this example: was this project created as “dynamic web project” or “web service” or “maven” or something else.

I normally try to create everything manually if not specified. As in this example, i created folders and then files in it. I tried to build by mvn install.

So even though this is a good informative example, it didnt work for me after spending a day.

It would be great if in your tutorials, you can add the steps to start, build and deploy too.

I’d like to warning about URLs for schema in spring configuration.
These now are:
http://jax-ws.java.net/spring/servlet.xsd
and
http://jax-ws.java.net/spring/core.xsd
(but namespace is still http://jax-ws.dev.java.net/spring/core and
http://jax-ws.dev.java.net/spring/servlet)

I don’t know if this is a bug or not.

http://localhost:8080/WebServicesExample/hello?wsdl

Won’t give out the result as mentioned. I have to modify the pom.xml to be like this:
WebServicesExample

Or else it just won’t find the wsdl.

  That’s because the url of xsd changed since mkyong wrote this tutorial.
  You can change on xsd:schemaLocation:
  
  http://jax-ws.dev.java.net/spring/core http://jax-ws.java.net/spring/core.xsd
  http://jax-ws.dev.java.net/spring/servlet http://jax-ws.java.net/spring/servlet.xsd

So, I’ve got it all working, and running. But what url do I enter in the browser so that the method :

HelloWorldBoImpl::getHelloWorld() is called, which should return

“JAX-WS + Spring!”

I am trying to get things working on JBoss. Parsing applicationContext.xml keeps failing. I pass in the latest Spring jar files into JBoss via -classpath but it seems like it’s using old jars. I have read that you can have problems parsing applicationContext.xml with old Spring jar files. I have tried EVERYTHING to get past this parse error. Nothing is working. Has anybody else got this working on JBoss?

Hi,

I am attempting to deploy a JAX-WS service like this using WSSpringServlet and instead of wiring my beans in using XML I am attempting to use @Autowired with no success. Is there any reason you can think of this shouldn’t work, or do I need to load something else from spring to make autowiring work?

Thanks

This would really help give the bigger picture.

  Make sure you have the xbean-spring-2.8.jar in the lib. I did this with Ant (can’t use maven due to firewall block to repo), that’s the error I got when I don’t have this jar file. Very misleading error as I thought it’s schema related.

  I’ve just landed to this great source of help and I’ve also experienced your 404 error. I solved it by poiting the browser to “http://localhost:8084/hello?wsdl”. Take a look at “http://localhost:8084/hello”, and you’ll see the reference to the wsld.
  P.D.: The application was deployed in a Tomcat 7.0.22.

Just wanted to share my experience with this example.

I downloaded zip file, opened in Netbeans 6.9.1, compiled successfully, deployed through Tomcat 6 manager page. The final name for the war file in the pom.xml is “web service” so the war file is “web service.war” and when tomcat deploys it get deployed under the name “web services” instead of “WebServicesExample” as the demo link has. I changed the name of the finalName parameter in the pom.xml file to be “WebServicesExample”, recompiled and redeployed. The demo link worked after that.
