JAX-WS with JBoss
JBoss supports JAX-WS out of the box. There is not much configuration files needed, only a servlet-mapping in the web.xml . This is how the web-service java file looks like: package com.swayam.demo.webservice ; import javax.jws.WebMethod ; import javax.jws.WebParam ; import javax.jws.WebService ; /** * * @author paawak */ @WebService ( ) public class UserService { /** * Web service operation */ @WebMethod ( operationName = "addUser" ) public Boolean addUser ( @WebParam ( name = "userName" ) String userName ) { System . out . println ( "add user" ) ; return Boolean . TRUE ; } } Its a POJO with a @WebService annotation. All you have to do is map this as a servlet in the desired context. Though this is not a servlet per-se, the JBoss web container does the rest...
