Change JAX-WS Service URL

Question

Is there any Possibility to change the Webservice URL when creating a JAX-WS webservice?

The automatic URL is (on Glassfish 3): http:///

Answer 1

I got the same problem with the same context. Some axis2 web services to pass in JAX-WS ; so I had to keep the same url mapping (http://[host]:[port]/[context]/services/[serviceName]).

At first, I tried with @WebServlet annotation with an url pattern on the impl class of the WS. It works on JBoss AS 7.1 and Weblogic Server 12 but WebSphere AS 8 didn't like. This is because of the non extending of HttpServlet class but if you done the same by the web.xml, it works.

For one web service to add in web.xml :

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>OMInjector</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>fr.fmoisson.kijq.services.OMInjector</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>OMInjector</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/services/OMInjector</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Answer 2

You can specify the servlet mapping for your JAX-WS implementation class. By default, the servlet mapping is not required and JAX-WS framework generates it for you. As you want to provide a custom URL mapping for your web service service, you can provide a servlet mapping with the custom URL.

Sample:

<servlet>
    <display-name>CalculatorService</display-name>
    <servlet-name>CalculatorService</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>
        org.apache.geronimo.samples.jws.CalculatorService
    </servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>CalculatorService</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/axis/services/calculator</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
