Can a bottom up web service be created from an interface definition ? [message #177842] Thu, 24 August 2006 22:23 Go to next message

I have created a Dynamic Web project which contains two source files:

package wtp;
public interface IConverter {
public void Converter ();
public float celsiusToFarenheit ( float celsius );
public float farenheitToCelsius ( float farenheit );
}

package wtp;
public class Converter implements IConverter {
public void Converter () {
return;
}
public float celsiusToFarenheit ( float celsius )
{
return (celsius * 9 / 5) + 32;
}
public float farenheitToCelsius ( float farenheit )
{
return (farenheit - 32) * 5 / 9;
}
}

I am able to create a web service from the class but I have a customer that
would like to be able to create a web service from the interface. Is this
possible ?

When I select this interface file and tell the WTP Web Service wizard to
create a web service from it, I get an error dialog with the following
message:

The service class "wtp.IConverter" does not comply to one or more
requirements of the JAX-RPC 1.1 specification, and may not deploy or
function correctly.
The service class "wtp.IConverter" does not have a public default
constructor. Chapter 10.1 of the JAX-RPC 1.1 specification requires a
service class to have a public default constructor, otherwise a JAX-RPC 1.1
compliant Web service engine may be unable to construct an instance of the
service class to handle an incoming request message.

The dialog box allows me to ignore the error but if I do the next dialog
(which allows the user to select the methods to expose in the web service)
is displayed but no methods are presented in the selection list and the
"Next" and "Finish" buttons are grayed out so you can not proceed beyond
that point in the wizard.

If this is something that is reasonable to do, some guidance would be
appreciated, if not tell me I am crazy and I will go away.

Hi Gary,

Web services cannot be created from a Java interface since they do not
have 'public default constructors' as required by the JAX-RPC 1.1 spec.
A WSDL is practically an interface anyway. What are they trying to
accomplish by using an interface rather than a class?
