My webservice class is as following:

                                .getNodeValue();

        String body = "<ns:return xmlns:ns=\"http://rest.jaxws.samples.geronimo.apache.org\">"

                + rupees
                + "</ns:dollarToRupeesResponse><ns:rupeesToEurosResponse>"

        Source source = new StreamSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(
                body.getBytes()));
        return source;
    }
}

and the web.xml as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

While deploying it in tomcat 6.0, iam getting the following exception:

I think the web.xml is wrong, can anyone pls help me in this. Iam trying to implement restful webservices in CXF.

Do you use maven? How do you bring in dependencies? – AHungerArtist

I think that you have several things wrong in your implementation.

First of all your web.xml is indeed wrong. This file is meant to declare servlets, filters, etc, but never webservices providers. You are getting the ClassCastException because you are telling that your ConverterService is a servlet.

So, what you need to do is to declare the Apache CXF servlet in you web.xml to let him anwser some request. Check this example:

   <!-- 
       Web service Front Controller. It will receive all the web service request and then it 
       delegates the request to the web services configured in the CXF config file
    -->
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

    <!-- 
       Every request that start with this will be handled by the CXF servlet 
    -->
    <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/ctx/authbasic/ws/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

After this, you need to declare correctly each one of your webservices. I use Spring to config my Apache CXF services, so here you can check an example.

    <jaxws:endpoint id="dataService"
        implementor="some.package.DataSIB"
        address="/DataService" wsdlLocation="classpath:wsdls/DataService.wsdl">
        <jaxws:properties>
            <!-- jaxws properties binding config -->
        </jaxws:properties>
        <jaxws:dataBinding>
          <!-- data binding config -->
        </jaxws:dataBinding>
    </jaxws:endpoint>

With this configuration, you any request to /ctx/authbasic/ws/DataService will be handled by the web services implementation. Here the example of a web service declaration (SEI) and its implementation (SIB):

@WebService(name = "dataService", targetNamespace = "http://some-domain/dataservice/definition")
@SOAPBinding(style = Style.DOCUMENT, use = Use.LITERAL, parameterStyle = ParameterStyle.WRAPPED)
public interface DataSEI {
    // You methods here
}

@WebService(endpointInterface = "some.package.DataSEI",
serviceName = "dataServiceService",
portName = "dataServicePort",
targetNamespace = "http://some-domain/dataservice/definition")
public class DataSIB implements DataSEI {
   // Your methods here
}

NOTE: This is an example of a SOAP web services, but this might help you to understand the framework
