Tutorial how to create a CXF web service from existing Java code and embed it in Tomcat

Do you know a tutorial how to create a CXF soap web service from existing Java code and embed it in Tomcat, and also generate a wsdl file so that any .NET system would be able to generate client code easily?

I miss that WSDL creation point in, for example this http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-pojo-springcxf/ tutorial. No wsdl file is generated. But still it should be present in my case to provide system interoperability.

To create wsdl file for the existing Java SOAP Service, you can use maven plugin. It will generated wsdl files on {project_home}/target/generated/wsdl/MyService.wsdl

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-java2ws-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${cxf.version}</version>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
        <artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
            <version>${cxf.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
        <artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-simple</artifactId>
        <version>${cxf.version}</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>process-classes</id>
        <phase>process-classes</phase>
        <configuration>
            <className>com.foo.MyService</className>
            <genWsdl>true</genWsdl>
            <verbose>true</verbose>
            <frontend>jaxws</frontend>
            <databinding>jaxb</databinding>
        </configuration>
        <goals>
            <goal>java2ws</goal>
        </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Do you know a tutorial how to create a CXF soap web service from existing Java code and embed it in Tomcat,

Embedding to Tomcat (to avoid using spring, opening own port): Servlet Transport

also generate a wsdl file

You java code 2 wsdl also maven plugin exists. But you can get the wsdl from working service by http://host:port/servicename?wsdl url and provide it ;)
