JBoss.net and xDoclet

[nohwal]

Hi all,

I am fairly new to JBoss.net and web-services in general. I am planning to use jBoss.net for deploying my web-services. I have tested one of my web-services and it gets deployed fine.

Now, I want to use the XDoclet tags for auto-generating web-service.xml. I searched on JBoss.org and found the following link:

http://www.jboss.org/developers/guides/jboss.net/xdoclet

Now, here is the problem that I am facing:
1.) First off, can someone please tell me where to download the correct "xdoclet-module-jboss-net.jar" from? The official xdoclet web-site (http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net) does not seem to have it.

2.) Secondly, my web-service is neither an EJB nor a JMX bean. It's a simple Java class which will be invoked in J2EE environment. In this case which task should I use? The example on the link above only talks about EJB tasks(uses xdoclet.modules.ejb.EjbDocletTask) and JMX task(uses xdoclet.modules.jmx.JMXDocletTask).

3.) Lastly, any example for using Xdoclet tags in saimple java classes case will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.
+Deepak.

JBossWS in jboss-4.0 supports portable J2EE compiant web services. For a description of how to expose POJOs as service endpoints, see the JBossWS wiki.

Thanks for the response Thomas!

Does that means I can't expose my POJOs as Web-services in JBoss 3.2.x?

Many thanks.

No it doesn't. JBoss.NET builds ontop of Axis, which by default only exposes POJOs and not EJBs.

It means, if you have the choice I recommend you to invest time and efford in standard ws and not the propriatary JBoss.NET approach.

JBoss.NET has entered maintainance and will not be developed further.
