To have JAX-WS support in Tomcat you must configure:
- WEB-INF/sun-jaxws.xml
- WSServletContextListener
- WSServlet
Unfortunately it is hard to omit the WEB-INF/sun-jaxws.xml file but there is easier way to omit web.xml configuration because of Servlet 3.0 API.
You can do something like this:
@WebServlet(name = "ServiceServlet" , urlPatterns = "/service", loadOnStartup = 1)
public class Servlet extends WSServlet {
}
and
@WebListener
public class Listener implements ServletContextAttributeListener, ServletContextListener {
private final WSServletContextListener listener;
public Listener() {
this.listener = new WSServletContextListener();
}
@Override
public void attributeAdded(ServletContextAttributeEvent event) {
listener.attributeAdded(event);
}
@Override
public void attributeRemoved(ServletContextAttributeEvent event) {
listener.attributeRemoved(event);
}
@Override
public void attributeReplaced(ServletContextAttributeEvent event) {
listener.attributeReplaced(event);
}
@Override
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
listener.contextInitialized(sce);
}
@Override
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) {
listener.contextDestroyed(sce);
}
}
I have tested it on Tomcat-8.5.23 version and it works. But remember that you still must have WEB-INF/sun-jaxws.xml file.
