It is said that in Java usually theeasiest things are the hardest. The following is a nice example as it took mesome time to figure out how to do it.
I wanted to build a simple URL request based web service in Java that returnsan JSON object. Yes, you can do that with a simple Servlet too, the advantageof using Axis2 isthat you can also call your deployed services using SOAP without anyconfiguration changes.

1.  Download Axis2 as WAR and install it inyour servlet container

2.  Download the DynamicResponseHandler module andadd it to Axis by copying it to WEB-INF/modules

3.  PatchJettison or download my patched version and replaceit with the one installed in WEB-INF/lib

4.  Add the DynamicResponseHandler modulereference to the axis2.xml configuration (located in WEB-INF/conf):

<module ref="DynamicResponseHandler"/>

5.  Add the JSON Message formatters to theaxis2.xml:

<messageFormatter contentType="application/json" class="org.apache.axis2.json.JSONMessageFormatter"/>

<messageFormatter contentType="application/json/badgerfish" class="org.apache.axis2.json.JSONBadgerfishMessageFormatter"/>

6.  Add JSON Message builders to theaxis2.xml:

<messageBuilder contentType="application/json" class="org.apache.axis2.json.JSONOMBuilder"/>

<messageBuilder contentType="application/json/badgerfish" class="org.apache.axis2.json.JSONBadgerfishOMBuilder"/>

7.  Start your servlet container and testthe standard version service by calling this url:
http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/Version/getVersion?response=application/json

Now you are ready to add your own webservices. Here you can find an examplehowto deploy a simple POJO service. Have fun!

Update: Zeno (see comments) sent me patch for usage with Jettison 1.2 –otherwise he received a NullPointerException. I haven’t checked it, but I hopeit helps you! Thanks Zeno!
