extending SpringBeanAutowiringSupport with GlassFish 3.1

Question

I'm trying to expose my web service by extending SpringBeanAutowiringSupport. I'm using GlassFish 3.1 and Spring 3.0.5.RELEASE.

I'm following the tutorial here.

However, when I go to the URL of my web service I get a ClassCastException.

Any ideas on what I'm missing or doing wrong?

Your class: com.service.GreetingServiceEndpoint is not an instance of javax.servlet.Servlet. You can't put it into your web.xml as a servlet. To run JAX-WS web services, JAX-WS servlet has to be declared in web.xml: com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServlet this servlet will serve the requests to your web service.

The full servlet declaration should look something like this:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Greeting</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Greeting</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/services/Greeting</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Your com.service.GreetingServiceEndpoint class should be defined in sun-jaxws.xml file, something like this:

<endpoints xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-ws/ri/runtime" version="2.0">
    <endpoint name="Greeting" implementation="com.service.GreetingServiceEndpoint" url-pattern="/services/Greeting"/>
</endpoints>

This file has to be added into WEB-INF of your web app. Take a look at my post here. It should be helpful.

YES! Your answer works. Not only that but the config makes a lot more sense to me now. Looking at the tutorial I was wondering how the servlet config was possible. — AR3Y35, Oct 12 '12 at 18:17

There's no need of registering com.service.GreetingServiceEndpoint as a Servlet in web.xml; as it doesn't extends HttpServlet.
