In this tutorial we will show how to deploy a JAX-WS Web service on JBoss AS 7. You will see how you can easily deploy and test a Web service in the new application server release.

In order to use Web services in the new application server release you need the following extension in your configuration file:

<extension module="org.jboss.as.webservices"/>

standalone.bat --server-config=standalone-preview.xml

package com.sample;

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

@WebService
public interface Math {
 @WebMethod
 public long sum(long a, long b);
}

package com.sample;

import javax.jws.WebService;

@WebService(endpointInterface = "com.sample.Math", serviceName = "MathWS")

public class MathWS implements Math 
{     

 public long sum(long a, long b)
 {
 System.out.println("Summing "+a+" + "+b);
 return a+b;
 }
}

 <servlet>
 <servlet-name>MathWS</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>com.sample.MathWS</servlet-class>
 </servlet>
 <servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>MathWS</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>  

In AS7 you don't have anymore the jbossws Web application but you can use the new Web management at http://localhost:9900/console

In the Web tab you can find the Web services link where you can see the list of the Web services published.

Now writing an Apache CXF client is just a matter of seconds:
{codecitation class="brush: java; gutter: true;"}
package com.sample;

import org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingInInterceptor;
import org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingOutInterceptor;
import org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean;

public class Client {

public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean();

factory.getInInterceptors().add(new LoggingInInterceptor());
factory.getOutInterceptors().add(new LoggingOutInterceptor());
factory.setServiceClass(Math.class);
factory.setAddress("http://localhost:8080/balance");
Math client = (Math) factory.create();

System.out.println("Server said: " + client.sum(3,4));

}

}
