POJO as WebService?

[nickarls]

Hi,

I made a simple stateless EJB, annotated the class with @WebService and the web with @WebMethod, it deployed fine and showed up in /jbossws/services.

So I removed the EJB:ness from it and retried, but this time the WS doesn't get deployed. I got the impression from the JBoss WS wiki that POJOs would also be supported, am I missing something fundamental?

I'm on AS 4.2.2.GA

Thanks in advance,
-Nik

It requires different packaging. It needs to go into a .war and have a proper web.xml with it.

Excellent! So it should work just like a EJB with the different packaging/conf?

BTW. I looked quickly at the web.xml and it looks sort of like a servlet mapping, should it still be visible under jbossws/services or is it just standalone?
