Exposing stateless Session Beans as Web Service

[rswitzer]

Hi,

I've tried out EJB3 in the implementation of JBoss 4.0.3SP1
and I'm very enthusiastic.

But I still have a problem I can't solve:

the EJB 2.1 spec said you could expose a stateles Session Bean
as a Web Service and JSR220 repeats this claim for EJB 3.0.
However, neither the EJB3 TrailBlazer nor the adminguide gives
a clue how to do this with JBoss.

My conjecture is, JBoss is waiting until it's JSR181 compatible
before implementing this aspect.

Can anyone a) confirm my conjecture or b) let me in on the secret
of how to do what I want to do?

Many thanks,
Robert Switzer

Check the Wiki for an example of how to do this.

[url=http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=WebservicesAndEJB3]

From what I understand EJB3.0 will not support being exposed as statless bean.

The solution in the Wiki is to wrap your EJB3.0 with an EJB2.1 or POJO and expose that one as a web service.

I think it's scheduled for JBoss 5.

I think we may get it into JBoss 4 too. It already works in CVS HEAD btw.
