如何使用Java创建SOAP Web服务

Question

I did some Core Java programming a decade back. Now I've got a project to create SOAP website.

I've a Windows machine setup on Amazon with Eclipse installed on it.

I thought of buying this book: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596001759.do but it was released in 2002 and it's contents may be obsolete.

I could not find any other stuff about how to go about creating SOAP webservice in Java.

Please HELP!

So I want to know step by step procedure, setting up the IDE + libraries etc.

Answer 1

You can use axis2 for creating your webservices. Axis2 Web Service using Eclipse will give you some help about creating one.

Answer 2

The standard way is to use JaxWS, which is a part of Java 6 and later. The approach varies depending if you use the "Java classes first" or "Contract first" approach.

I always use contract first:

• Write the WSDL and any supporting XSDs that might be required
• Create the Java classes using wsimport (command line or as a Maven plugin)
• Add the business logic to the generated class

There are multiple tutorials on the web. Search on JaxWS and wsimport.

The integration with Java even allows you to publish a web service from a triial command line program.

Answer 3

Read some tutorial from internet for creating jax-ws webservice.

If you want to read some books I would recommend these two books :

1.Java Web Services: Up and Running

2.Apache CXF Web Service Development
