[jetty-users] SOAP endpoints with Jetty 9

[Diego Bravo Estrada <diegobravoestrada@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

When running Jetty embedded version 9.1, I could add JAX-WS support for a running server as in the following example:

public class JettyJaxWs {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Server server = new Server(7777);
        ContextHandlerCollection contextHandlerCollection = new ContextHandlerCollection();
        server.setHandler(contextHandlerCollection);
        server.start();
        // later ...
        HttpContext context = build(server, "/ws");
        MyWebService ws = new MyWebService();
        Endpoint endpoint = Endpoint.create(ws);
        endpoint.publish(context);
        // access wsdl on http://localhost:7777/ws/MyWebService?wsdl
    }
    
    @WebService
    public static class MyWebService {
        
        public String hello(String s) {
            return "hi " + s;
        }
    }
    // following the code of JettyHttpServerProvider   
    public static HttpContext build(Server server, String contextString) throws Exception {
        JettyHttpServer jettyHttpServer = new JettyHttpServer(server, true);
        return jettyHttpServer.createContext(contextString);
    }
}
 

Since about 9.2, the internal "HttpSpiContextHandler" object is not automatically started, so I'm doing this (and is working):

public static HttpContext build(Server server, String contextString) throws Exception {
        JettyHttpServer jettyHttpServer = new JettyHttpServer(server, true);
        JettyHttpContext ctx = (JettyHttpContext) jettyHttpServer.createContext(contextString);
        Method method = JettyHttpContext.class.getDeclaredMethod("getJettyContextHandler");
        method.setAccessible(true);
        HttpSpiContextHandler contextHandler = (HttpSpiContextHandler) method.invoke(ctx);
        contextHandler.start();
        return ctx;
    }

Seems to me that the JettyHttpContext should declare its start() method public in order to avoid the reflection. Or there is another way?

Regards,
