for some time now to build complete end-to-end JAX-WS testcases.
For example, a simple 'Provider' needs only a few Web Services annotations:
EclipseLink DBWS can be used to parse the incoming SOAPMessage as well as generate the response.
package test;
...
import javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage;
import javax.xml.ws.Provider;
import javax.xml.ws.WebServiceProvider;
import javax.xml.ws.Service;
import javax.xml.ws.ServiceMode;
import static javax.xml.ws.Service.Mode.MESSAGE;
import static javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPBinding.SOAP11HTTP_BINDING;
@WebServiceProvider(
targetNamespace = "urn:testService",
serviceName = "testService",
portName = "testServicePort"
)
@ServiceMode(MESSAGE)
public class TestProvider implements Provider<SOAPMessage> {
...
public SOAPMessage invoke(SOAPMessage request) {
... parse SOAPMessage request
... return SOAPMessage response
}
...
JUnit annotations can be mixed-in along with the Web Services annotations:
static final String ENDPOINT_ADDRESS = "http://localhost:9999/test";
//JUnit4 fixtures
static Service testService = null;
@BeforeClass
public static void setup() throws Exception {
Endpoint endpoint = Endpoint.create(new TestProvider());
endpoint.publish(ENDPOINT_ADDRESS);
WebServiceProvider testProvider =
TestProvider.class.getAnnotation(WebServiceProvider.class);
String serviceNamespace = testProvider.targetNamespace();
String serviceName = testProvider.serviceName();
String portName = testProvider.portName();
QName serviceQName = new QName(serviceNamespace, serviceName);
QName portQName = new QName(serviceNamespace, portName);
Service testService = Service.create(serviceQName);
testService.addPort(portQName, SOAP11HTTP_BINDING, ENDPOINT_ADDRESS);
}
@Test
public void aTest() throws Exception {
MessageFactory factory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage request = factory.createMessage();
SOAPPart part = request.getSOAPPart();
DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource(
getDocumentBuilder().parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(
"<SOAP-ENV:Envelope ... SOAP message content ...</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>"))));
part.setContent(domSource);
Dispatch<SOAPMessage> dispatch = testService.createDispatch(portQName, SOAPMessage.class,
Service.Mode.MESSAGE);
SOAPMessage response = dispatch.invoke(request);
...
}
I find it very convenient to have server, client and tests all in a single class.
Behind-the-scenes, the javax.xml.ws.Service is backed by an internal class
com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer. Unfortunately, this class has some
issues (6675392, 6946825) that make it not my first choice for production work.
Wouldn't it be great if the simple and easy up-front API could be maintained
while behind-the-scenes the Server implementation could be swapped-out?
The answer of course is that you can! There is a SPI to override the Server
implementation, either via a 'services' file
META-INF/services/com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServerProvider
or via a system property:
-Dcom.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServerProvider=org.eclipse.jetty.jaxws2spi.JettyHttpServerProvider(the example above replaces the built-in HTTPServer with Jetty)
I've been helping a customer use EclipseLink DBWS under OSGi and discovered an issue with the above SPI. The implementation of the SPI class com.sun.net.httpserver.spi.HttpServerProvider only looks on the System classpath:
This will not work when running under OSGi as the System classpath cannot
private static boolean loadProviderFromProperty() {
String cn = System.getProperty("com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServerProvider");
if (cn == null)
return false;
try {
Class c = Class.forName(cn, true, ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
provider = (HttpServerProvider)c.newInstance();
return true;
}
....
find any user classes (only BundleClassLoaders can).

I have opened a bug against OpenJDK, but until this issue is addressed, the
built-in HttpServerProvider needs to be overridden. The replacement code
is packaged into a jar file (e.g. http_server_spi.jar) and pre-pended to the bootclassloader so as to override the built-in version:
-Xbootclasspath/p:/path/to/http_server_spi.jar
^^^^ /p means pre-pend
