1 Introduction
This short tutorial shows how to build web services using two popular frameworks for web service development with the Java platform: Java Web Services Developer Pack provided by Sun Axis from Apache

The chosen container for all deployment tasks is Apache Tomcat for both frameworks. In some steps of this tutorial (in particular for JWSDP) Ive used Apache Ant tool in order to automate the generation process for clients; reading the build file you can understand how to use tools by hand. Ant build files and the other configuration files are reported in APPENDIX A: Ant build files and Configuration files.

2 Web Services with JWSDP

2.1 Requirements
This section shows the required tools in order to use JWSDP. I assume you have already installed a Java 5 SDK on your computer.

2.1.1 JWSDP
Download and install Java Web Services Developer Pack 1.6. Set an environment variable JWSDP_HOME with value equals to the installation directory.

2.1.2 Apache Tomcat and JWSDP

Download and install Apache Tomcat 5.x.x. If you install the version 5.5.x from a standard distribution, libraries needed for Web Services by JWSDP are not provided by default, so you have to manually copy them into the appropriate directory inside Tomcat installation. In this case you have to copy into the <tomcat-installation-dir> shared/lib directory all required libraries taking them from the JWSDP 1.6 distribution, these libraries are: activation.jar commons-beanutils.jar commons-collections.jar commons-digester.jar commons-logging.jar dom.jar 2

In both cases then set the TOMCAT_HOME environment variable with the installation directory as value.

2.1.3 Apache Ant

Download and install Apache Ant 1.6.x and set the PATH variable to <ant-install-dir>/bin and ANT_HOME to <ant-install-dir>, where this last directory is the installation one.

2.2 Building a Web Service (Server) from a Java class

In this section is shown a way to create and deploy a Web Service in a Tomcat server instance. We assume you are working in a directory conventionally named <root>, the root for our project. Under <root>, first of all, create a <src> directory which will contain all source packages; also create a <web> directory, it will contain the deployment package directories structure; We are ready to go: define a Java Interface which exposes Web Service methods, i.e.:
package px.ws; import java.rmi.Remote; import java.rmi.RemoteException; public interface AdderWebService extends Remote { //this methods are the operations exposed by web service public int add(int x, int y) throws RemoteException; public String getVersion() throws RemoteException; }

Pay attention to the extension of Remote interface. The interface describes an adder service which exposes two remote methods (two operations), the first adds two integers and returns the result, the second returns a String representing the service version. Save it in the <src> directory. Now, write the service implementation:
package px.ws; public class AdderWebServiceImpl implements AdderWebService { public AdderWebServiceImpl() { } public String getVersion() throws java.rmi.RemoteException { return "Adder Web Service - vers. 1.0"; } public int add(int x, int y) throws java.rmi.RemoteException { return x+y; }

Save it in the <src> directory.

Building Web Services with Java version 1.2

Antonio Pintus http://www.pintux.it

pintux@pintux.it

In order to prepare a deployment package we have to create appropriate directories tree to contain all generated files: Into the <web> directory create the following directories: <web>/WEB-INF <web>/WEB-INF/classes For deployment task well use the wsdeploy tool provided by JWSDP, so we have to write a configuration file for it. Create an xml file called jaxrpc-ri.xml which defines the Web Service.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- configuration file for JWSDP wsdeploy tool --> <webServices xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/dd" version="1.0" targetNamespaceBase="http://px.pxserver.org/op/msg" typeNamespaceBase="http:// px.pxserver.org /typeNamespaceBase/type"> <!-- the endpoint name becomes the service name in the WSDL --> <endpoint name="AdderWebService" interface="px.ws.AdderWebService" implementation=" px.ws.AdderWebServiceImpl"/> <endpointMapping endpointName="AdderWebService" urlPattern="/Adder"/> </webServices>

Save it in the <web>/WEB-INF directory Create a web.xml file, and save it in the <web>/WEB-INF directory, with the following content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app> <display-name>AdderWebService</display-name> <description>A simple Adder web service</description> <session-config> <session-timeout>60</session-timeout> </session-config> </web-app> Create a <bin> folder in the <root> directory. Compile all .java files in the <bin> directory: javac d <bin> <src>\px\ws\*.java Copy content under <bin> folder into the <web>/WEB-INF/classes directory; Now, the directories tree created in <web> is ready to be packaged, so were going to create a war file: jar cvf adder-tmp.war C <web>\ .

Building Web Services with Java version 1.2

Antonio Pintus http://www.pintux.it

pintux@pintux.it

In this way we have a deployment package ready to be processed by the wsdeploy tool of JWSDP, use it to obtain a final deployment package for our web service:
%JWSDP_HOME%\jaxrpc\bin\wsdeploy verbose o adder.war adder-tmp.war

The adder.war archive file is ready to be deployed on Tomcat. Simply copy it to the %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps directory and it will be automatically deployed. Test the web service, for example requesting the WSDL file, opening a browser to URL: http://localhost:8080/adder/Adder?WSDL

2.3 Building a Web Service (Server) from a WSDL file

Another way to face a web service implementation development is to start from a WSDL file which describes it. We assume you are working in a directory <root>, the root for our project. Under <root>, first of all, create a <src> directory which will contain all source packages; also create a <web> directory, it will contain the deployment package directories structure; 1. 2. 3. 4. Copy into <root> the WSDL file Copy into <root> the build-ws-server.xml and build.properties files Copy into <root> the wscompile-config.xml Edit build.properties file and set the properties as shown above jwsdp-home=<value of %JWSDP_HOME%> wsdl=wscompile-config.xml Important: use slash (/) character as path separator in the first entry! 5. Edit wscompile-config.xml file entering the correct tag values: <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/config"> <!-- WSDL URL and generated package name --> <wsdl location="mywebservice.wsdl" packageName="mypackage.package"/> </configuration>

6. Generate server ties and related classes using the comand:

Building Web Services with Java version 1.2

Antonio Pintus http://www.pintux.it

pintux@pintux.it

ant f build-ws-server.xml propertyfile build.properties

In this way weve generated a Service Endpoint Interface (SEI), Tie class etc Its name is related to WSDL file definition. We assume it is called MyWebService_PortType, this interface exposes all web service operations. Now we have to write an implementation class for that interface. 7. In the generated package under <src> write an implementation class, i.e.
package mypackage.package; public class MyWebService_PortTypeImpl implements MyWebService_PortType { //methods implementation ... }

8. Create a <bin> directory under <root> and build all files including in the classpath the following libraries:

javac cp %JWSDP_HOME%\jaxrpc\lib\jaxrpc-api.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jaxrpc\lib\jaxrpc-spi.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jaxrpc\lib\jaxrpc-impl.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jwsdp-shared\lib\jax-qname.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jwsdp-shared\lib\activation.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jwsdp-shared\lib\mail.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\saaj\lib\saaj-impl.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\saaj\lib\saaj-api.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jaxp\lib\endorsed\xercesImpl.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jaxp\lib\endorsed\dom.jar; d <bin> <src>\mypackage\package\*.java Now, were ready to create a deployment package directories tree. Into the <web> directory create the following directories: <web>/WEB-INF <web>/WEB-INF/classes 9. Copy the WSDL file under <web>/WEB-INF directory 10. Copy the content of <bin> directory under <web>/WEB-INF/classes directory 11. In the <web>/WEB-INF directory create a jaxrpc-ri-runtime.xml file and a web.xml file, these are deployment files for Tomcat and they have the following content:

Building Web Services with Java version 1.2

pintux@pintux.it

For jaxrpc-ri-runtime.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <endpoints xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/runtime" version="1.0"> <endpoint name="MyWebService" interface="mypackage.package.MyWebService_PortType" implementation="mypackage.package.MyWebService_PortTypeImpl" tie=" mypackage.package.MyWebService_PortType_Tie" wsdl="/WEB-INF/mywebservice.wsdl" service="{http://www.myserver.it/operation/message/mws}MyWebService" port="{http://www.myserver.it/operation/message/mws}MyWebServicePortTypePort" urlpattern="/adder"/> </endpoints> For web.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app> <display-name>MyWebService</display-name> <description>A simple web service</description> <listener> <listener-class>com.sun.xml.rpc.server.http.JAXRPCContextListener</listener-class> </listener> <servlet> <servlet-name>MyWebService</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.sun.xml.rpc.server.http.JAXRPCServlet</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>MyWebService</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/mywebservice</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <session-config> <session-timeout>60</session-timeout> </session-config> </web-app> 12. Create the deployment package using the comand:
jar cvf mywebservice.war C <web>\ .

The mywebservice.war archive file is, now, ready to be deployed on Tomcat. Simply copy it to the %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps directory and it will be automatically deployed. Test the web service, for example requesting the WSDL file, opening a browser to URL: http://localhost:8080/mywebservice/mywebservice?WSDL

2.4 Building a Web Service Client from WSDL file

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Create a project directory, well refer to it as <root> Copy into <root> the WSDL file Copy into <root> the build-ws-client.xml and build.properties files Copy into <root> the wscompile-config.xml Edit build.properties file and set the properties as shown above jwsdp-home=<value of %JWSDP_HOME%> wsdl=wscompile-config.xml 6. Edit wscompile-config.xml file entering the correct tag values: <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/config"> <!-- WSDL URL and generated package name --> <wsdl location="wsdl-file-name.wsdl" packageName="mypackage.package"/> </configuration> For example, for the Adder Web Service this file can be: <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/config"> <!-- WSDL URL and generated package name --> <wsdl location="adder.wsdl" packageName="px.ws.client.stub"/> </configuration>

7. Start building using the comand:

ant f build-ws-client.xml propertyfile build.properties

This step creates a <src> directory, a <gen> directory and puts into them the generated stub and classes needed for web service client calls implementation. Notice that the package created is the one specified in the wscompile-config.xml file. 8. Write a web Service client, for example for the Adder Web Service, a simple client could be
package px.ws.client.stub; public class AdderClient {

Building Web Services with Java version 1.2

pintux@pintux.it

/** Creates a new instance of AdderClient */ public AdderClient() { }

public static void main(String[] args) { //instantiates the loader factory AdderWebService_Service service = new AdderWebService_Service_Impl(); AdderWebService_PortType port=null; //declares the Web Service Stub Interface try { //instantiates the Web Service Stub port = service.getAdderWebServicePort(); ((AdderWebService_PortType_Stub)port)._setProperty(javax.xml.rpc.Stub.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "http://myserver.it:8080/adder/Adder"); //Sets the Web Service endpoint URL

} catch(javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException e) { e.printStackTrace(System.err); } try { String ver = port.getVersion(); // web service operation call System.out.println("Adder version is " + ver); int sum = port.add(2, 3); // web service operation call System.out.println("Sum = " + sum);

} catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }

9. Build all files (by command line or using an IDE) including in the classpath the following libraries: %JWSDP_HOME%\jaxrpc\lib\jaxrpc-api.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jaxrpc\lib\jaxrpc-spi.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jaxrpc\lib\jaxrpc-impl.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jwsdp-shared\lib\jax-qname.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jwsdp-shared\lib\activation.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jwsdp-shared\lib\mail.jar; 10

Building Web Services with Java version 1.2

Antonio Pintus http://www.pintux.it

pintux@pintux.it

%JWSDP_HOME%\saaj\lib\saaj-impl.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\saaj\lib\saaj-api.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jaxp\lib\endorsed\xercesImpl.jar; %JWSDP_HOME%\jaxp\lib\endorsed\dom.jar; 10. Run your client setting the classpath as shown in the previous step.

3 Web Services with Axis

3.1 Requirements
Download Apache Axis, version 1.3. Axis distribution provides the runtime environment, which is a web application, and the required libraries and tools. Installing Axis runtime is very simple: copy the <axis-install-dir>/axis-1_3/webapps/axis directory into the %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps directory. Start Tomcat. In order to verify your Axis installation, go to http://localhost:8080/axis/happyaxis.jsp and check if errors or warnings occurred or if, under the section Needed Components, some libraries are listed as required (i.e. probably the activation.jar, follow the link shown and go to download it!). All required libraries, after downloading them, must be copied into the %TOMCAT_HOME%/shared/lib directory. Stop and re-start Tomcat and check again. If all is ok, youve Axis installed on Tomcat and it is ready to accept web services deployments.

3.2 A little note about .jws

A nice feature provided by Axis is to quickly create and deploy a simple web service with the jws mechanism. Create a simple Java class like the following:
public class Adder { public int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } public String getVersion() { return "Adder with Axis jws sample, version 1.0"; } }

11

Building Web Services with Java version 1.2

Antonio Pintus http://www.pintux.it

pintux@pintux.it

Now: 1. copy the Adder.java file into the %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/axis directory 2. rename the copied file from Adder.java to Adder.jws 3. Test the web service putting in a browser the URL: http://localhost:8080/axis/Adder.jws?wsdl for WSDL visualization, and: http://localhost:8080/axis/Adder.jws?method=getVersion to test a method call. JWS feature is nice but too simple for production quality web services. For example, you cannot use packages in the pages, and as the code is compiled at run time you can not find out about errors until after deployment. Production quality web services should use Java classes with custom deployment, as recommended by Apache: JWS files are great quick ways to get your classes out there as Web Services, but they're not always the best choice. For one thing, you need the source code - there might be times when you want to expose a pre-existing class on your system without source. Also, the amount of configuration you can do as to how the service gets accessed is pretty limited - you can't specify custom type mappings, or control which Handlers get invoked when people are using your service. (Note for the future : the Axis team, and the Java SOAP community at large, are thinking about ways to be able to embed this sort of metadata into your source files if desired - stay tuned!)

3.3 Writing a Web Service with Axis

I assume that: 1. 2. Axis is installed on a Tomcat instance and Tomcat is running. a <root> directory hosts our project

3.4 Web Service Interface definition

We start defining the Java interface for our web service, with the exposed methods:
package px.axws; public interface PersonWS { public String whoAmI();

public int getBornYear(); }

12

Building Web Services with Java version 1.2

Antonio Pintus http://www.pintux.it

pintux@pintux.it

Save it under the directory <root>/px/axws. The following list shows what we have to do now: 1. 2. generate the WSDL from Java interface generate skeleton, stub, serializers, deployment descriptors and so on, from WSDL file

3.5 Web Service Generation

In order to simplify the process I create a script file (a batch file on Windows, but for Linux it can be done a similar script quickly) generate.bat into the <root> directory. My script generates a document/literal web service. IMPORTANT: change the AXIS_HOME environment variable value to your Axis installation directory.
set AXIS_HOME=C:\devtools\axis-1_3 set AXIS_LIB=%AXIS_HOME%\lib set AXISCLASSPATH=%AXIS_LIB%\axis.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\commons-discovery0.2.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\commons-logging1.0.4.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\jaxrpc.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\saaj.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\log4j1.2.8.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\xercesImpl.jar javac -cp .;%AXISCLASSPATH% px/axws/*.java pause java -cp .;%AXISCLASSPATH% org.apache.axis.wsdl.Java2WSDL -o person.wsdl -style DOCUMENT --use LITERAL -l"http://localhost:8080/axis/services/PersonWS" -n urn:person -p"px.axws" urn:person px.axws.PersonWS pause java -cp .;%AXISCLASSPATH% org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java --allowInvalidURL -noWrapped --server-side --skeletonDeploy true --package px.axws person.wsdl pause

Running the previous script we generate the WSDL and all required stub and serializers. What we have to do now is to write a service implementation.

3.6 Writing the web service implementation

Under the directory <root> we can find all the generated classes and WSDL. Writing the web service implementation is quite simple and is achieved editing the file
PersonWSSoapBindingImpl.java

Now compile all generated classes (notice the AXIS_HOME variable, it must point to the Axis installation directory):
set AXIS_HOME=C:\devtools\axis-1_3 set AXIS_LIB=%AXIS_HOME%\lib

13

Building Web Services with Java version 1.2

Antonio Pintus http://www.pintux.it

pintux@pintux.it

set AXISCLASSPATH=%AXIS_LIB%\axis.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\commons-discovery0.2.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\commons-logging1.0.4.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\jaxrpc.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\saaj.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\log4j1.2.8.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\xercesImpl.jar javac -cp .;%AXISCLASSPATH% ./px/axws/*.java

3.7 Deploying the web service

The web service deployment is achieved in two steps: 1. Copy all compiled class files into the <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/classes directory. 2. Deploy the service using the generated wsdd (web service deployment descriptor) file; this file is located in the classes directory. Now, create and edit a script file writing the following content, change the AXIS_HOME variable content to your Axis installation dir:
set AXIS_HOME=C:\devtools\axis-1_3 set AXIS_LIB=%AXIS_HOME%\lib set AXISCLASSPATH=%AXIS_LIB%\axis.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\commons-discovery0.2.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\commons-logging1.0.4.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\jaxrpc.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\saaj.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\log4j1.2.8.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\xercesImpl.jar

java -cp .;%AXISCLASSPATH% org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient ./px/axws/deploy.wsdd

Save it in the <root> directory and run it. If all is ok, the web service is deployed.

3.8 Testing the service

In order to test the web service deployment, open a browser to the URL: http://localhost:8080/axis/services/PersonWS?wsdl If all was correct we must obtain the WSDL for the web service Now, well try to invoke a remote operation: http://localhost:8080/axis/services/PersonWS?method=whoAmI 14

in this way you should get the SOAP document with the web service response.

4 Conclusion
This short how-to aims to show a way to start coding Web Services in Java using two popular frameworks: Sun JWSDP and Apache Axis deploying services on Tomcat web container. The document covers some issues discovered in developing web services and for each of them a sample is provided. In the sections related to JWSDP, Ant build tool is used; all configuration and build files are reported in APPENDIX A.
