setting context root for EJB based web services

[elgabo]

Hello,

I have a very simple web service annotated with @Stateless and @WebService

@Stateless
@WebService
public class MyWebService
{
public void doSomething(){...}
}

when I deploy just the service.jar file the web service's endpoint is

http://localhost:8080/service/MyService

but if I put the jar inside the myear.ear file the web context changes

http://localhost:8080/myear-service/MyService

I have read here that since version 4.0 you can set the web service's context root by simply adding
webservice-context-root to the jboss.xml file, but there is no example on how to do this. I would like to set the context root just to "service".

Thanks for all your help.

I am assuming you are using JBoss 4.2.2 or atleast JBossWS 2.0.1. If that is true you can set the context root using the following annotation:

import org.jboss.wsf.spi.annotation.WebContext;
.....
@WebContext(contextRoot="/YourContextRoot")


The WebContext class is in the jbossws-spi.jar in the client folder of your jboss 4.2.2 installation.

Yes I'm using JBoss 4.2.2, it seems that there is a bug http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-4852 on this version ... it will be fixed on 4.2.3

Hi,
I have the same issue on Jboss 4.0.5 + EJB3 RC9 + Jbossws-native-2.0.3.

I've seen multiple bugs on jboss.com about context-root with webservices but i'm not sure they all include EJB3 based WS (ex : http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-1813 - works fine without EJB3 RC9 installed).
Another bug (http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4852) seems to be like my problem but for a 4.2.x jboss version.

Does anybody could confirm me that the only way to change the default calculated context-root in my configuration, is to set a @WebContext annotation in the ejb3 bean ?

Thank's in advance
