Is there a way localy publish Webservice Endpoints With IBM JRE

Question

I'm trying to write a test for a Webservice using the approach described at http://antoniogoncalves.org/2012/10/24/no-you-dont-need-to-mock-your-soap-web-service-to-test-it/

But on calling Endpoint.publish I get the following exception

Which is I assume because I'm running in an IBM JRE (Websphere 8.0.x) (Thx for the condolence)

Can I use Endpoint.publish in a IBM JRE, without starting a complete Websphere?

The test or the JRE configuration that produced this stack trace has somehow included com.ibm.ws classes that are shipped with Websphere. If you have removed all reference to Websphere classes from your test, then you could get a standalone JRE with no Websphere changes to test with. You can download for AIX, Linux or z/OS from:
