Jax-ws war deploys, but gives 404 on tomcat

First off I have looked at the suggested similar questions - because this is apparently a fairly common problem - and have not found an answer yet.Where did I go wrong? Downloaded latest JAXWS-RI and copied all the .jar files over manually. Then cobbled together a web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems,Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
    <listener>
        <listener-class>
           com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener
        </listener-class>
    </listener>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>HelloWorldTomcatService</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServlet
        </servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>HelloWorldTomcatService</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/HelloWorldTomcatService</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
    </session-config>
    </web-app>

and a sun-jaxws.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<endpoints xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-ws/ri/runtime" version="2.0">
    <endpoint name="HelloWorldTomcatService" implementation="com.myservice.ws.Hello" url-pattern="/HelloWorldTomcatService"/>
</endpoints>

and a couple java files

package com.myservice.ws;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;
@WebService
public interface WebServiceInterface {
    @WebMethod
    String printMessage();
}

package com.myservice.ws;
import javax.jws.WebService;

@WebService(endpointInterface = "com.myservice.ws.WebServiceInterface")
public class Hello implements WebServiceInterface{
    @Override
    public String printMessage() {
        return "message";
    }
}

I placed the four files in the appropriate directory structure and build a war file in eclipse and copied it to the Tomcat webapps folder. The war was exploded and shows up on the manager console, but it does not start and all attempts to access it in a browser fail as well.

Update:

Here is an except from catalina log.

Solution

  • Just in case anyone was curious: the issue I was having was that the header for web.xml was incompatible with the version of Tomcat I was using - or deprecated, I don't know.

    The header that's working now is:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
      http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
      version="2.4">
...

    There was also a warning that hk2-core.jar was missing. I'm not sure that would have been an issue if I'd fixed the xml problem first, but it was a good catch so, props to Kolossus.
