Before you begin
Depending on your development path, Develop a Service Endpoint Interface for a Java bean implementation or Develop a Service Endpoint Interface from an EJB remote interface.Why and when to perform this task
You need a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file to use Web services. You can develop your own WSDL file or get one from a Web service provider through E-mail, downloading or through a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). This documentation assumes you are creating your own.
To develop a WSDL file:
Steps for this task
Results
A WSDL file that defines the Web service described by the Service Endpoint Interface.Example
This example uses a JAR file named AddressBook.jar containing a class named AddressBook.class file.
You must add the AddressBook.jar file to your CLASSPATH to create the WSDL file. The JAR file contains an EJB implementation class that was compiled with debugging information on. Run the Java2WSDL -implClass addr.AddressBookBean addr.AddressBook command to create a WSDL file named AddressBook.wsdl.
What to do next
Depending on your development path, develop Web services deployment descriptor templates for a Java bean implementation or develop Web services deployment descriptor templates for an EJB implementation.
