Since I am always using command line tools such as Maven or Ant to create my project and to package them, I have just created a new Maven plugin to easily and quickly expose a JAXWS service in PEtALS with Maven. This plugin will generate the JBI Service Unit and Service Assembly from a Maven java project with just a few lines of Maven settings…

As an example, the following interface :

package org.ow2.petals;
 
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;
 
@WebService
public interface Service {
 
	@WebMethod
	String ping(String input);
}

and its implementation :

package org.ow2.petals;
 
public class ServiceImpl implements Service {
	public String ping(String input) {
		return input;
	}
}

will generate a Service Assembly idirectly deployable to PEtALS by the help of the Maven plugin :

<build>
	<plugins>
		<plugin>
			<groupId>org.ow2.petals</groupId>
			<artifactId>maven-petals-jaxws2jbi</artifactId>
			<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
			<executions>
				<execution>
					<id>generate-jbi</id>
					<phase>package</phase>
					<configuration>
						<className>
							org.ow2.petals.ServiceImpl
						</className>
					</configuration>
					<goals>
						<goal>java2jbi</goal>
					</goals>
				</execution>
			</executions>
		</plugin>
	</plugins>
</build>

The plugin takes the Service class, generates its associated WSDL file and the JBI descriptor and then package all into a Service Assembly.
