13.5. JAX-WS Development Reference
13.5.1. Enable Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing)
Prerequisites
- Your application must have an existing JAX-WS service and client configuration.
Procedure 13.1. Annotate and Update client code
Annotate the service endpoint
Add the@Addressingannotation to the application's endpoint code.Example 13.28.
@AddressingannotationThis example demonstrates a regular JAX-WS endpoint with the@Addressingannotation added.package org.jboss.test.ws.jaxws.samples.wsa; import javax.jws.WebService; import javax.xml.ws.soap.Addressing; @WebService ( portName = "AddressingServicePort", serviceName = "AddressingService", wsdlLocation = "WEB-INF/wsdl/AddressingService.wsdl", targetNamespace = "http://www.jboss.org/jbossws/ws-extensions/wsaddressing", endpointInterface = "org.jboss.test.ws.jaxws.samples.wsa.ServiceIface" ) @Addressing(enabled=true, required=true) public class ServiceImpl implements ServiceIface { public String sayHello() { return "Hello World!"; } }Update client code
Update the client code in the application so that it configures WS-Addressing.Example 13.29. Client configuration for WS-Addressing
This example demonstrates a regular JAX-WS client updated to configure WS-Addressing.package org.jboss.test.ws.jaxws.samples.wsa; import java.net.URL; import javax.xml.namespace.QName; import javax.xml.ws.Service; import javax.xml.ws.soap.AddressingFeature; public final class AddressingTestCase { private final String serviceURL = "http://localhost:8080/jaxws-samples-wsa/AddressingService"; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // construct proxy QName serviceName = new QName("http://www.jboss.org/jbossws/ws-extensions/wsaddressing", "AddressingService"); URL wsdlURL = new URL(serviceURL + "?wsdl"); Service service = Service.create(wsdlURL, serviceName); ServiceIface proxy = (ServiceIface)service.getPort(ServiceIface.class, new AddressingFeature()); // invoke method proxy.sayHello(); } }
The client and endpoint are now communicating using WS-Addressing.
