Web Services Forum

This is the Java EE 6 tutorial for Web Services which requires the use of Glassfish V3 for the examples:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7627/bnayk?a=view

These examples use the JAX-RS API from Glassfish to implement the web services,

The approach is quite simple, In order to expose a method as a web method within a web service you annotate the method you want to expose with @WebMethod and its containing calss with @WebService. then you publish the class to a glassfish instance, here is a simple example from the tutorial:


package helloservice.endpoint;

import javax.jws.WebService;

@WebService
public class Hello {
private String message = new String("Hello, ");

public void Hello() {}

@WebMethod
public String sayHello(String name) {
return message + name + ".";
}
}
