Java-config counterpart of wss:binding?

Ok, so here's something I've been googling for for hours with no success... Finally i can only hope some Spring-magician reads and answers this question. :)

I'm upgrading an old web application (Spring 2.x-based) to Spring 4.2.x and while adding new features I've decided to completely move away from XML-based config. (Again: i don't want to have any Spring XML files in the project!)

I've converted pretty much everything, but the last thing i can't resolve is finding the correct Java-config counterpart of:

<ws:service id="MySoapService" bean="#ServiceImpl" />
<wss:binding service="#MySoapService" url="/1.0/soap" />

ws/wss namespaces come from:

xmlns:ws="http://jax-ws.dev.java.net/spring/core"
xmlns:wss="http://jax-ws.dev.java.net/spring/servlet"

So what i'm trying to do is exporting @WebService annotated classes, but with Java-config instead of XML.

Additional infos:

  • I've tried using SimpleJaxWsServiceExporter, but that one leaves me with a "java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind", regardless of what port i'm using...

  • The application has two servlets: one is a normal Spring MVC Dispatcher for the new REST API and another com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSSpringServlet which should make the above mentioned JAX-WS service available.

  • I'm trying to resolve things with pure JAX-WS RI, no CXF or any other library. The application is huge enough already... :(

Solution

  • You can achieve this by injecting your endpoint and the following helper method (note that my approach uses a base class BaseEndpoint for each endpoint):

    @Configuration
public WebserviceConfiguration {

    @Inject
    private FooEndpoint fooEndpoint;

    @Bean    
    public SpringBinding fooEndpoint() throws Exception {
        return bind(fooEndpoint, "ws/bar");
    }

    private SpringBinding bind(BaseEndpoint endpoint, String url) throws Exception {
        SpringService springService = new SpringService();
        springService.setBean(endpoint);
        SpringBinding binding = new SpringBinding();
        binding.setService(springService.getObject());
        binding.setUrl(url);
        return binding;
    }

}
