From time to time I am evaluating a tool or framework for which I need a web service. Although there are examples of running serviuces available on the web, I don´t always have access to the web and sometimes you need some more control over the service so you can edit/influence the corresponding WSDL. For these cases I created the following class which is all you need to get a web service running on your local machine (assuming you have JDK1.6 installed).
All the source you need is the following:

PLAIN TEXT
JAVA:
  1. package nl.redstream.ws;
  2.  
  3. import javax.jws.WebService;
  4. import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
  5. import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Style;
  6. import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
  7.  
  8. /**
  9. * @author Pascal Alma
  10. */
  11.  
  12. @WebService
  13. public class EchoServer {
  14.  
  15.     @SOAPBinding(style = Style.DOCUMENT)
  16.     public String getEcho(String txt) {
  17.             return "echo: " + txt;
  18.         }
  19.  
  20.     public static void main(String[] args) {
  21.         EchoServer myServer = new EchoServer ();
  22.         Endpoint endpoint = Endpoint.publish(
  23.                 "http://localhost:8181/echo", myServer);
  24.     }
  25. }

When you run this class (and leave it running), you can point your browser to go to 'http://localhost:8181/echo?wsdl' and you receive the wsdl for the web service:

You can now test your tool/ product by using this web service.
