Need info about deployment descriptors required on IBM websphere for webservice

[Yogesh Gandhi]

Hi Friends,

I have a WAR file which has a web service. The webservice has been running successfully on weblogic server.

I created the WAR file using Jdev 11g (Which uses weblogic 11g as the server behind the scenes) and hence the deployment descriptor for weblogic i.e. weblogic.xml was automatically generated.

It had the following contents
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?> <weblogic-web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-web-app http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-web-app/1.0/weblogic-web-app.xsd" xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/weblogic-web-app"> <context-root>QdeUpload</context-root> </weblogic-web-app>


Now what I need is to deploy this webservice on a IBM websphere server.

Can anyone please help me in this regard, that what all deployment descriptors I need to add in the WAR file for websphere.

I tried deploying it without any changes, i was able to deploy it and start it. But when I access the URL for WSDL, I get the following error

Error 404: javax.servlet.UnavailableException: SRVE0201E: Servlet [com.nucleus.ws.CreateCustomerServiceImpl]: not a servlet class

Anyone having any idea about deployment descriptors, it would be so nice if anyone of me having any idea can give me some directions about how to create deployment descriptors.

I got the following information from the IBM website

Developing a webservices.xml deployment descriptor for JAX-WS applications
Deployment descriptors are standard text files, formatted using XML and packaged in a Web services application. You can optionally use the webservices.xml deployment descriptor to augment or override application metadata specified in annotations within Java API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS) Web services.

About this task
Similar to Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) Web services, you can use deployment descriptors to describe JAX-WS Web services. For JAX-WS Web services, the use of the webservices.xml deployment descriptor is optional because you can use annotations to specify all of the information that is contained within the deployment descriptor file. You can use the deployment descriptor file to augment or override existing JAX-WS annotations. Any information that you define in the webservices.xml deployment descriptor overrides any corresponding information that is specified by annotations.

I am glad, because I am using JAX-WS annotations in my java code. So I think, I do not need to use the webservices.xml deployment descriptors.

I have deployed the WAR file after removing the webservices.xml file from .WAR file. I am able to start the instance on the websphere console.
But I am not able to generate/access the URL for the webservice.

When I access http://10.1.50.149:9081/QdeUpload/CreateCustomerServicePort?WSDL URL, I get the following message

Error 404: javax.servlet.UnavailableException: SRVE0201E: Servlet [com.nucleus.ws.CreateCustomerServiceImpl]: not a servlet class

Can someone please help me in this regard.
