Exposing WebService method issues

[Victor Skvorzkoff]

I don't understand why I have web service methods exposed which shouldn't be the case according to JAX-WS specification (as I understand it).

I've created a simple test web service with implicit SEI:

@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style = Style.RPC)
public interface TestServiceSEI 
{
    public String helloTest();
    @WebMethod public String helloTest2();
}

The goal is to make helloTest() not be exposed in WebService and helloTest2() be exposed in WebService. I then implement this SIB:

I spicifically omit endpointInterface parameter to make this implicit SEI. My understanding is that with implicit SEI, in order to expose web service, I must use @WebMethod annotation, any methods that are not annoted with @WebMethod in implicit SEI shouldn't be exposed in WebService?

Hence:

@WebService 
public class TestServiceSIB implements TestServiceSEI
{
    @Override
    //this method should not be exposed? 
    public String helloTest() 
    {
        return "HELLO WORLD";
    }

    //only this method should be exposed     
    @Override
    public String helloTest2()
    {
        return "HELLO WEB SERVICE";
    }   
}

When I publish the WebService:

public static void main(String[] args) 
{
    Endpoint.publish("http://localhost:9876/ws", new TestServiceSIB());
}

Nonetheless, I see all methods exposed in operation WebService:

<operation name="helloTest">
    <soap:operation soapAction=""/>
        <input>
            <soap:body use="literal"/>
        </input>
        <output>
           <soap:body use="literal"/>
        </output>
</operation>
<operation name="helloTest2">
    <soap:operation soapAction=""/>
        <input>
           <soap:body use="literal"/>
        </input>
        <output>
           <soap:body use="literal"/>
        </output>
</operation>

No matter what I try, I always have all methods showing in the WebService, but according to JAX-WS specs methods get exposed only under specific circumstances which I am trying to avoid and yet they get exposed anyways. I am trying to follow specification and hide certain methods but they keep showing.

Could somebody kindly explain why I keep having helloTest() exposed when it shouldn't?

Thanks.

ADDED: Sorry, I just realized this message should be in Web Services Certification (OCEJWSD) section. I am currently studying for this exam.

Check the @WebMethod annotation, there is an "exclude" flag. What's the default value I expect it's false.

@WebMethod(exclude = true)

Now the question is if the interface is annotated with @WebService, what happens to those methods that AREN'T annotated with @WebMethod? Does the implicitly include @WebMethod hence you see them when published, ignored/excluded, something else?

Hi Victor Skvorzkoff,

you are preparing to pass Java EE 6 Web Services Developer Certified Expert (1Z0-897)?

I also want to pass it and I am preparing for it.  Have you already taken the test?

Are you interested in learning together (discussing via email etc.) ?

Best regards,

Uwe

Hi Uwe,

Sorry for late reply.  Yes, I am studying for WSDCE exam.  It's a great idea to study together for this exam.  Please feel free to contact me via email: [e-mail] to discuss how we can arrange our study sessions.  I'd also suggest anybody else who'd like to join to see if we can arrange a study session.

Thanks,
Victor.
