Java Webservice multithreaded

October 19, 2011

To have a JAX-WS Webservice in Java 6 or higher with multiple threads, it is necessary to assign an corresponding Executor to the endpoint (the sample uses 5 threads).

import java.util.concurrent.Executors;  
import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint;  
import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpContext;  
import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer;

httpServer = HttpServer.create(new InetSocketAddress(interfaceName, port), 0);  
HttpContext httpContext = httpServer.createContext("/path");  
Endpoint endpoint = Endpoint.create(serviceImpl);  
endpoint.setExecutor(Executors.newFixedThreadPool(5));  
endpoint.publish(httpContext);
