accessing wsdl on Tomcat

Question

I have a web service and I was deploying it on GlassFish. I accessed its wsdl through http://localhost:10697/APIService/APIServiceService?wsdl.

Now I ported the WAR

Answer 1

The way to access a WSDL is not really container specific, it's more WS-stack specific. The WS-stack in GlassFish is Metro (Metro = JAX-WS RI + WSIT). Did you install/deploy Metro or JAX-WS RI on Tomcat? See Metro on Tomcat 6.x or Running JAX-WS Samples with Tomcat 6.x (JAX-WS RI might be enough in your case) for the steps.

Update: You need to declare the WSServlet in the web.xml (see Deploying Metro endpoint):

  
    
    com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener
    
  
  
    WebServicePort
    
    com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServlet
    
    1
  
  
    WebServicePort
    /services/*
  
  
    60
  

And then in the sun-jaxws.xml (also packaged in WEB-INF), declare your Service Endpoint Interface (SEI):

And you access the WSDL at:

http://localhost:8080//services/hello?wsdl
           A               B         C       D

• A is the host and port of the servlet container.
• B is the name of the war file.
• C comes from the url-pattern element in the web.xml file.
• D comes from the ending stem of the url-pattern attribute in the sun-jaxws.xml file.
