custom web services on Liferay

[12年前 に Shantanu Puranik によって更新されました。]

Following is the scenario:
User of tool (based on Eclipse RCP) requests for a file.
A custom web service on Liferay platform should in response create and stream an archive file(.zip) after performing authentication and authorization.

I already had a look at wiki article Creating Liferay 6 plugin web service
but it doesn't quite match the requirement as required functionality is already available as simple java method.
What should be the approach to use this method as web service on Liferay platform? I'm using 6.0. 6 CE.

Your web service is exported as a servlet, so no real Liferay involvement here. Create your standard web service and deploy it, and don't muddy the waters w/ Liferay involvement if you don't need it.

In that case, how would Liferay authentication and authorization (custom roles) be integrated/ triggered ?
The requirement is also to verify user requesting the file before streaming begins.
I'm novice in this area. Thanks for the inputs.

Web service authentication is done via the web service itself (check out WS-Security, etc.).
