Is JAX-WS only usable with EJB 3 projects?

[bouchwichman]

I followed the how-to ( http://jbws.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=JBossWS ) to create a web service with jax-ws. When I use the "wsprovide" command to create the WSDL from my implementation class, it makes an error :

... > wsprovide -w bsa.ws.EchoBean
Generating WSDL:
Error: Could not generate. (use --show-traces to see full traces)
Error: javax/ejb/Stateless

It is searching the @Stateless annotation. But i'm not in EJB3, so i can't use @Stateless before my class.

Is JAX-WS only usable with EJB 3 projects?
If not what should i do? Why wsprovide doesn't work?

You can use JAX-WS to create pojo web services. Just remove the @Stateless annotation (and @WebContext annotation, if you have one) from the class declaration.

here is my implementation class :

package bsa.ws;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;


@WebService(
 name="Echo",
 targetNamespace = "http://ws.bsa",
 serviceName = "EchoService")
public class EchoBean implements IEchoBean {

 @WebMethod
 public String echo(){
 return "un string";
 }

}

i followed the tutorial (see the link in the first message). I compiled. And then, when i used the "wsprovide", that error message came. I have no "@Stateless" annotation.

even without the interface (... implements IEchoBean ) i have the same problem.
