# jaxws-pojo: An POJO JAX-WS Web Service

R Searls

> The `jaxws-pojo` quickstart is a working example of the web service endpoint created from a POJO.

## What is it?

The `jaxws-pojo` quickstart demonstrates the use of JAX-WS in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Server as a simple POJO web service application.

## System Requirements

The application this project produces is designed to be run on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Server 7.2 or later.

All you need to build this project is Java 8.0 (Java SDK 1.8) or later and Maven 3.3.1 or later. See Configure Maven to Build and Deploy the Quickstarts to make sure you are configured correctly for testing the quickstarts.

## Use of EAP_HOME

In the following instructions, replace `EAP_HOME` with the actual path to your JBoss EAP installation. The installation path is described in detail here: Use of EAP_HOME and JBOSS_HOME Variables.

## Start the JBoss EAP Standalone Server

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the root of the JBoss EAP directory.

2. Start the JBoss EAP server with the default profile by typing the following command.

       $ EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.sh

   Note | For Windows, use the `EAP_HOME\bin\standalone.bat` script.

## Install the Quickstart Parent Artifact in Maven

This quickstart requires the `quickstart-parent` artifact to be installed in your local Maven repository. To install it, navigate to your QUICKSTART_HOME directory directory and run the following command.

    $ cd QUICKSTART_HOME
    $ mvn clean install

## Build and Deploy the Quickstart

1. Make sure you start the JBoss EAP server as described above.

2. Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.

3. Type the following command to build the artifacts.

       $ mvn clean install wildfly:deploy

This deploys the `jaxws-pojo/service/target/jaxws-pojo-service.jar` to the running instance of the server.

You should see a message in the server log indicating that the archive deployed successfully.

## Access the Application

You can check that the Web Service is running and deployed correctly by accessing the following URL: http://localhost:8080/jaxws-pojo-endpoint/JSEBean?wsdl. This URL will display the deployed WSDL endpoint for the Web Service.

## Run the Client

1. Make sure you Install the Quickstart Parent Artifact in Maven.

2. Verify that the service is deployed properly.

3. Open a terminal and navigate into the client directory of this quickstart.

       $ cd client/

4. Type this command to run the client.

       $ mvn exec:java

5. You should see the following response.

       JSEBean pojo: pojoClient calling

## Undeploy the Quickstart

When you are finished testing the quickstart, follow these steps to undeploy the archive.

1. Make sure you start the JBoss EAP server as described above.

2. Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.

3. Type this command to undeploy the archive:

       $ mvn wildfly:undeploy

## Run the Quickstart in Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse

You can also start the server and deploy the quickstarts or run the Arquillian tests in Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio or from Eclipse using JBoss tools. For general information about how to import a quickstart, add a JBoss EAP server, and build and deploy a quickstart, see Use JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse to Run the Quickstarts.

For this quickstart, follow the special instructions to Deploy and Undeploy a Quickstart Containing Server and Java Client Projects

1. To build all of the artifacts, right-click on the jaxws-pojo parent project, and choose Run As –> Maven install.

2. To deploy the service:

   - Right-click on the jaxws-pojo-service subproject, and choose Run As –> Run on Server.

   - Choose the server and click Finish.

   - This starts the server and deploys the service to the server.

3. To access the application:

   - Right-click on the jaxws-pojo-client subproject and choose Run As –> Java Application.

   - Choose the Client class and click OK.

   - You should see the following message in the Console tab:

         JSEBean pojo: pojoClient calling

4. To undeploy the project, right-click on the jaxws-pojo parent project and choose Run As –> Maven build. Enter `wildfly:undeploy` for the Goals and click Run.

## Debug the Application

If you want to debug the source code of any library in the project, run the following command to pull the source into your local repository. The IDE should then detect it.

    $ mvn dependency:sources
