Hi there,
I've been trying to read up on Web Services, in order to explore an alternative to our current system architecture. I confess that I'm new to the subject, and the reading I've done has left me utterly confused. I'm afraid that the forum FAQ has not helped a great deal - I'm under strict time constraints and simply wish to set up a basic "Hello World" service which I can then explore further in order to get a handle on how it all works.
If we implement any kind of Web Service, then it is likely that it will utilize the
JBoss application server, so I've been trying to read up on JBoss related Web Services (although we do not use
EJB). JBoss does provide some
documentation on the subject, and this includes a
quick start guide.
I've tried following the quick start guide, but I've gotten stuck - as my classes do not compile, as my
IDE cannot resolve the imports javax.jws.WebService, javax.jws.WebMethod and javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding. There is no mention I can find of where the jar files for these are located, but they do not appear to be anywhere under the JBoss home directory. The Guide does provide a "Setup your development environment", which simply tells you to have
Java 5 and
Ant installed - both of which I have.
Has anyone else used Web Services with JBoss, or followed this guide? Do you know what the missing jar files are and where I can download them? Am I just being a bit thick? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Jon
Further notes: I have JBoss 4.0.3 installed, and use Java 1.5.0_07 and Ant 1.6.5; so from reading the tutorial I should have all of the libraries that are required..
Further notes: There is this bit of text in the guide:
If you ask yourself which JAR files are required to setup your IDE, take a look at the build file (build.xml) that ships with the sample distribution.
I don't seem to have any build files, except ones for example build files for JMS and something called "Varia".
