How to create a @Singleton bean that implements a @WebService
EDITED: after believing this is a NetBeans 7.0 editor bug. It still compiles and is deployable.
I want to convert my webservice which is @WebService;@Stateless implementation into a @Singleton bean but when I replace the @WebService with @Singleton annotation... I get the image below in my IDE Editor
of course when I do something silly like having both @WebService and @Stateless and deploy in glassfish I get:
severe error: Annotations processing failed for...
below is a link (there are more, but I'm limited to two links now) which leds me to believe Singleton beans can be used in the manner I'm trying to use them.
http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/gipjg.html
"Singleton session beans offer similar functionality to stateless session beans but differ from them in that there is only one singleton session bean per application, as opposed to a pool of stateless session beans, any of which may respond to a client request. Like stateless session beans, singleton session beans can implement web service endpoints."
This link might hint that there is a bug in the compiler which was fixed in the jboss environment. I'm not sure if this issue is related though and would love to hear what experienced users think. ;)

This is a bug in NetBeans 7.0 editor. I was able to build and deploy a WS using both @WebService, @Singleton even though the service name was underlined in red to indicate a compile error. Just ran a test to verify that the spec bean works as advertised. I will provide code below and snapshot of my test ui.
Thanks to @home, @bkali and @Preston for contributing.
Submitted to netbeans as a bug: http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200911
Notice below the instance state does to timeout and change from 50 to 0 after the timeout period (10 minutes) when I redeploy the service as a Singleton instead of a stateless.
Web Service Test Code:
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.ejb.Singleton;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@WebService(serviceName = "soco.ws.bb.bearBearWS")
@Singleton
//@Stateless
public class BearBearImpl implements BearBearWS {
int state = 0;
static int staticState = 0;
@EJB StateBean sb = new StateBean();
@Override
public String hello(@WebParam(name = "name") String txt) {
return "Hello " + txt + " !";
}
@Override
public void setAllState(int in) {
System.out.println("setting instance state from "+state+" to "+in);
state = in;
System.out.println("setting static state from "+staticState+" to "+in);
staticState = in;
System.out.println("setting singleton state from "+sb.state+" to "+in);
sb.state = in;
}
@Override
public int getInstanceState() {
System.out.println("returning instance state "+state);
return state;
}
@Override
public int getStaticState() {
System.out.println("returning static state "+staticState);
return staticState;
}
@Override
public int getSingletonState() {
System.out.println("returning singleton state "+sb.state);
return sb.state;
}
}
