Description

JSR 181 annotated POJO web services are always getting into errors. Lack of / conflicting documentation is also an issue with this feature.

I understand services.xml is not to be created for using this feature. Please confirm.

Please confirm whether PojoDeployer or JAXWSDeployer is to be used for this feature in axis.xml.

When I use PojoDeployer with following -
1.
Until endpointInterface attribute is added to @WebService the webservice WSDL is not getting created and following error comes on the console-
[11/11/08 06:39:28:888 GMT] 00000043 SystemOut O [ERROR] Error occurred generating WSDL file for Web service implementation class

2.
@WebService(
endpointInterface = "testjsr.JSRPojoSEI",
targetNamespace = "http://jsrpojo.im.fil.com",
serviceName = "JSRPojo"
)
public class JSR181Pojo implements JSRPojoSEI {
public String add(String x, String y)

{ System.out.println("Got call - JSR181Pojo service"); return x+y; }

}

public interface JSRPojoSEI {
public String add(String x,String y);
}

WSDL gets generated and web service is accessible. But server is started following error is reported on console -

3. To fix this if I add webservice annotation to SEI
Then WSDL 1.1 is not generated and on server start following error is reported

Again WSDL 1.1 is not generated as in Case 1 above.

4. When I use JAXWSDeployer I again get into similar issues

Are there any additional jars needed to run this. I tried adding jaxws-tools& jaxws-rt.jar from sun but one or the other issue comes.

Please let me know with a sample code & configuration on how to use JSR 181 annotated webservices in AXIS 2
