NetBeans 5.0 & Web services on JBoss

Let’s create doc/lit web service which will provide two operations: plus and minus. Sounds easy? So do it for complex type and have JBoss as target server…

Required software

• NetBeans IDE 5.0
• JBoss 4.0.3sp1

Coding ComplexNumber.java

Complex number consists of real and imaginary part, so we will create a value object for it. It will have two private fields, some getters and setters and two constructors. Full code:

Creating Web Service

Creating web service is also an easy step there’s a wizard for its creation and actions for adding operation to web service (you can find it in the editor’s and web service’s context menu). So here’s only listing of web service implementation:

Building and deploying project

This is the most important part if we want to be able to use the service which will be deployed to JBoss – we have to create server-side artifacts manually but wscompile is our friend here (see JBossWSFAQ). So let’s do it – add following target into project’s build.xml (if the name of your service is not CalcService replace it with _yourServiceName_ ):

Now we are ready to deploy our project and to test our web service. Let's see if it works (click on the picture for better view):

And here you can download sources for this project. Enjoy...
