You haven't read the documentation for Gentoo rc-scripts.  This script 
was likely developed for a different distribution, for example Debian.  
Gentoo rc-scripts require, in addition to start() and stop(), a 
checkconfig() function that lets the rc services know what services this 
one requires.  You'll need to either manually figure out the 
dependencies and add a checkconfig(), or simply add 'webservice.sh start 
&' to /etc/conf.d/local.start and 'webservice.sh stop &' to 
/etc/conf.d/local.stop as another poster recommended.

To learn more about rc-scripts and their required functions, run 
'/etc/init.d/webservice.sh help'  (or any service in /etc/init.d).

Also, the script as provided seems to expect to be run from a certain 
CWD with your JRE relative to there.  This is unlikely to work on 
Gentoo, especially given Gentoo's use of java-config to support 
different JREs.
