Building web services on WebLogic

You can expose APIs and synchronous SDF services through web services. Web services require some configuration prior to running the buildear script to create the application EAR and web services WAR file. The configuration takes place in either the namedwebservices.xml file or webservicebeans.xml file.

There are two types of web services that can be created:

You can choose to build the application with one or both types of web services.

Note: You can also choose to suppress the web services build by using the -Dnowebservice=true option on the buildear command.
Note: If using EJB based web services or using JAX-WS based web services without handlers and API security is enabled, ensure that you expose the Login API. If using custom handlers, this decision will depend upon how your handlers are written. For more information about web services security, see the Secure Deployment topics on this Information Center.
