Create POJO based JAX-WS WebService easily with Jdeveloper 12.1.3

Hello All

In this post I am talking about creating a simple JAX-WS web service using Jdeveloper 12.1.3 .
JAX-WS is a Java API for XML Web Services and we can create a JAX-WS easily with Jdeveloper IDE
Idea is to create a web service that shows Employees list with their name , designation, salary and department name so for this I am going to use POJO Java Class

Let's implement it

Creating JAX-WS WebService

• Create a Java Desktop Application




• Give a name to application
  
  
• Create a Java Class in project 





• Here I am creating a Java Bean class to hold Employee Details variables



Java Code of EmpBean Class



publicclassEmpBean{
publicEmpBean(){
super();
}

/**Constructior to add new Employee detail
     * @param name
     * @param desig
     * @param salary
     * @param dept
     */
publicEmpBean(String name, String desig, Integer salary, String dept){
super();
this.name= name;
this.designation= desig;
this.salary= salary;
this.departments= dept;
}

//Employees Details Variables
private String name;
private String designation;
private Integer salary;
private String departments;

//Accessors
publicvoidsetName(String name){
this.name= name;
}

public String getName(){
return name;
}

publicvoidsetDesignation(String designation){
this.designation= designation;
}

public String getDesignation(){
return designation;
}

publicvoidsetSalary(Integer salary){
this.salary= salary;
}

public Integer getSalary(){
return salary;
}

publicvoidsetDepartments(String departments){
this.departments= departments;
}

public String getDepartments(){
return departments;
}
}



• Create another class to hold Employees data and make use of bean class to add all information



Java Code of Employees Class



importjava.util.ArrayList;
importjava.util.List;

publicclassEmployees{
publicEmployees(){
super();
}
//List to store Employees
private List<EmpBean> empList =new ArrayList<EmpBean>();

publicvoidsetEmpList(List<EmpBean> empList){
this.empList= empList;
}

public List<EmpBean>getEmpList(){
//Add items in list onlt if it is empty
if(empList.size()==0){
            empList.add(new EmpBean("Ashish Awasthi","Software Engineer",10000,"Project"));
            empList.add(new EmpBean("Shanto Mathew","Software Engineer",10000,"Product"));
            empList.add(new EmpBean("Gourav Raj","Project Manager",30000,"Project"));
            empList.add(new EmpBean("Bharat Lal","Team Lead",20000,"Product"));
}
return empList;
}
}



• Now to create WebService add @WebService annotation just before class name and import javax.jws.WebService package




• Click on yellow bulb icon and select Configure project for web services and in dialog select with support for JAX-WS Annotations 





Click on Ok and your project is configured for WebServices and a Web.xml file is created

Testing WebService

• Right click on WebService class and select Test WebService




• This option starts integrated weblogic server and initiate HTTP Analyzer after deploying WebService. Here you can see I have selected getEmpList method and click on Send Request button and it shows result in right window
