在服务器上部署Java Web服务

Question

I have been asked to create a JAVAX-WS web service which basically performs some basic computation on the input to return the output. I also need to lookup some values from a database.

I am using this book :
Java Web Services: Up and Running

What I've done so far :
1. Created the main java program containing the methods that perform the computations.
2. Used wsgen and wsimport to generate the various artifacts.
3. Used Endpoint to publish the service on localhost.
What I need to do :
I need to get it running on something like a windows server for .NET services. So that it can serve multiple machines.

I know next to nothing about web services and servers, and have just gone through the first chapter of the aforementioned book so far.
From what all resources I've gone through I believe I could use GlassFish, but I don't know if it serves my purposes.
So if anyone could point to some helpful resources for the same, it would be extremely helpful.
PS : I have no idea about looking up the required values from the database, so please point to some resource for that as well.

Answer 1

Endpoint can also serve requests concurrently, you can enable thread pooling by creating a ThreadPoolExecutor and registering it with the endpoint. See Endpoint.setExecutor(Executor executor)

If you want to deploy your Web Service on GlassFish you should change it into a WAR project, see http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/bnayl.html
