java struts2 hibernate and spring application and soap web services

Question

I have a web application using struts2, spring and hibernate frameworks. Now I want to expose some of its methods via soap web service. I have a class and I simply annotated it with @WebService annotation and an Service endpoint interface. Now when I deploy my application on glassfish it deploys fine but when I try to access wsdl via glasssfish admin console. It gives me the following error.

There is no Action mapped for namespace [/] and action name [UsersControllerImplService] associated with context path [/ossoc].

I understand its something related to configuration but I am unable to figure out what configuration.

Answer 1

Why everyone here is so eager to vote down.

This was the problem. In web.xml the struts2 filter has /* url pattern mapped so struts2 will filter every request that comes to it including the request to the webservice servlet. Since filters execute before servlets so I was getting the action not mapped error. From the struts2 documentation. The action mapping extension has been changed to .action plus "" it means if I simply enter name of servlet in the address bar the struts2 will take it as action and check struts2.xml for relevant action mapping since there are no action mapping so it will throw error.

Solution I just add the .extension after url in URL pattern mapping so struts2 will treat as a servlet request other option will to use

<constant name="struts.action.excludePattern" value="URLTOEXCLUDE"/> 
and configure the webservice to use the excluded URL

Hope this helps others.
