Java First demo using jax-ws APIs and jsr-181 ============================================= This demo illustrates how to develop a service use the "code first" approach using the JAX-WS APIs. Building and running the demo using Maven --------------------------------------- From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is located), the pom.xml file is used to build and run the demo. Using either UNIX or Windows: mvn clean install (builds the demo and creates a WAR file for optional Tomcat deployment) mvn -Pserver (from one command line window -- only if using a non-WAR standalone service) mvn -Pclient (from a second command line window) To remove the code generated from the WSDL file and the .class files, run "mvn clean". Alternative: WAR deployment of service in a servlet container (e.g. Tomcat) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.) Update the endpointAddress value in the client.Client class to the WAR-hosted value. The endpointAddress value will be installation-specific, but could be "http://localhost:8080/java_first_jaxws-{CXF Version}/services/hello_world" for a default local installation of Tomcat. Replace {CXF Version} with the CXF version declared in the parent POM -- for example, "2.5.1", "2.5.1-SNAPSHOT", etc. 2.) Manually copy the generated WAR file to the Tomcat webapps folder, or, if you have Maven and Tomcat set up to use the Tomcat Maven Plugin (http://mojo.codehaus.org/tomcat-maven-plugin/) you can use the mvn tomcat:redeploy command instead. Important: if you're using this command and deploying on Tomcat 6 instead of Tomcat 7, update the tomcat-maven-plugin configuration in the pom.xml, switching to the the Tomcat 6-specific "url" element. Prior to running the client (mvn -Pclient) good to confirm the generated WSDL can be seen from a web browser at: http://{server}:{port}/java_first_jaxws-{CXF Version}/services/hello_world?wsdl
