https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2956/soap-webservice-in-ivy-using-java<p>I tried to publish a web service similar to the one described in the tutorial below. I did not use the out-of-the-box Ivy WS process as each of the WS have many methods (and decided to build them in Java instead). </p> <p><a href="https://www.journaldev.com/9123/jax-ws-tutorial">Example</a></p> <p>Using Endpoint.publish() I specified the location for the WS. However, this requires me to run the class containing this method in the java console, and then run Ivy. I tried tying Endpoint.publish() to a "Start Process" in Ivy but it did not work. </p> <pre><code>public class SOAPPublisher { public static void main(String[] args) { Endpoint.publish("http://localhost:8888/ws/depotWS99", new WSDepotShopImpl()); } </code></pre> <p>Is there a "best practices" method to building a SOAP WS via Java in Ivy, and how do I get the WS published in Ivy?

I tried building the WS this way, but I am stuck trying to figure out how to build multiple methods for one Webservice (without building a separate WS for each method). It is a requirement for me to use one WS only. How would you suggest to do this? Thanks!</p>Walter WeissTue, 07 Nov 2017 02:48:46 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2956/soap-webservice-in-ivy-using-java#2959https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2956/soap-webservice-in-ivy-using-java/2957<p>I don't see any value in building a plain JAX-WS service in Ivy without using ivy...</p> <p>The Ivy way is:</p> <ul> <li>create a new Process of type '<a href="https://developer.axonivy.com/doc/latest/DesignerGuideHtml/ivy.processmodeling.html#ivy.wizards.newprocess">Webservice Process</a>'</li> <li>define a signature (<a href="https://developer.axonivy.com/doc/latest/DesignerGuideHtml/ivy.processmodeling.html#ivy-processmodels-elements-wsprocessstart">in/out parameters</a>)</li> <li>implement business logic in the process that handles webservice invocations and return a result. You can do this in plain Java, but don't have to. You can use all the rich APIs and ProcessElements that speeds up the development time.</li> </ul> <p>Behind the scenes ivy will generate a normal JAX-WS endpoint with everything you need. And it will provide monitoring, logging, authentication and deployment life-cycle handling out of the box. </p> <p>...and if there is really something missing. You still can modify the generated JAX-WS service descriptor and implement it with anything you like in plain Java.</p>Reguel WermelingerMon, 06 Nov 2017 02:52:21 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/2956/soap-webservice-in-ivy-using-java/2957
