Endpoint URL and WSDL of a web service class with #WebServiceProvider - web-services

Question

How to publish a web service class with #WebServiceProvider?What is the endpoint URL in this case?
Could we generate wsdl with #WebServiceProvider as in the case with
#WebService?What does the "wsdlLocation" attribute mean in #WebServiceProvider?
For instance
#ServiceMode(value = Service.Mode.MESSAGE)
#WebServiceProvider(portName = "ProviderPort",serviceName = "ProviderService",
targetNamespace = "http://bean/")
public class WebServiceProviderImpl implements Provider<SOAPMessage>

Simplest way is-
package server;
import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;
public class Server {
protected Server() throws Exception {
System.out.println("Starting Server");
System.out.println("Starting SoapService1");
Object implementor = new WebServiceProviderImpl();
String address = "http://localhost:8123/SoapContext/SoapPort1";
Endpoint.publish(address, implementor);
}
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
new Server();
System.out.println("Server ready...");
Thread.sleep(5 * 60 * 1000);
System.out.println("Server exiting");
System.exit(0);
}
The URL is "address". As far as I understand you can specify it as you like, as long as the port is free.
Alternatively, you could use JAXWsServerFactoryBean which is a part of CXF.
You would do the same thing as you would with an SEI.
And yes, it does generate a WSDL for you.
You can create your client stubs from it using wsimport just like an SEI
