Integrate Groovy in an existent Web app

I have an existent web application, I'd like to add Groovy to this web app so that I can develop web service providers easily if possible. Is there a way to write a service class (like Grails service classes) and expose this class as ws without much pain ?

Grails uses the same thing : after adding one line to the service class, that class will be exposed automatically as a web service.

Regards

  • GroovyWS is a SOAP based implementation of Apache CXF.

    After some quick searching I found two tutorials that may be of help.

    One using Jersey and the other using Restlet. The Jersey one seems simpler.
