Very Simple Web Service

[waelr]

Hello.. Java newb coming from .NET development
What am trying to do is actually very simple, don't need a fancy (heavy) IDE, notepad is more than enough
I downloaded and installed both JDK 1.6 & Glassfish v3, both installed correctly and are up and running
I need to create a simple HELLO web service, code goes like this

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

@WebService
public class Hello
{
	@WebMethod
	public String sayHello(String name)
	{
		return "Hello " + name + "!";
	}
}

What I need next is to simply put this in a .war file and place it in the "autodeploy" folder of the glassfish web server
Coming from the .NET world, things are as simple as creating your asmx file and copying it over to IIS, you can simply use notepad to write the following

<%@ WebService Language="VB" Class="Hello" %>

Imports System
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.Services
Imports System.Xml.Serialization

Public Class Hello
    Inherits System.Web.Services.WebService
    
    <WebMethod()> Public Function sayHello(ByVal name As String) As String
		return "Hello " & name
    End Function

End Class

Save that as "Hello.asmx", copy it to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\", go to "http://localhost/Hello.asmx" and there you go, you have your webservice working perfectly

Is it possible to do the same with Java & Glassfish !?

Guys!! Nobody has an answer for such a simple request! Is it possible that this can't be done !? Am I forced to use nasty IDEs like Netbeans & Eclipse

No, of course it's possible. I've never tried doing that manually but I don't really think developing a web service is that difficult. I think you should checkout Metro docs
