[Version 5.0.2 and later]Developing Web services deployment descriptor templates for a Java bean implementation

Before you begin

To develop the Java bean implementation templates and bindings from a Web Services Description (WSDL) file, you must obtain the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the WSDL file to use.

If it is a local file and you are running the Windows platform, the URL looks like this: file:drive:\path\file_name.wsdl. If you are using the UNIX platform, the URL looks like this: file:/path/file_name.wsdl. You can also specify local files using the absolute or relative file system path.

Implementation templates are generated using the -role develop-server option of the WSDL2Java command. The WSDL2Java command also generates bindings and deployment descriptors.

Why and when to perform this task

To develop Java bean implementation templates and bindings from a WSDL file:

Steps for this task

  1. Run the WSDL2Java -verbose -role develop-server -container web wsdlURL command.
    Since the verbose option is specified, a list of all generated files is displayed when the command runs.

Results

Templates for the implementation and deployment descriptors required to implement a Web service, as well as bindings files. These templates are partially filled with information from the WSDL file.

Example

The following example uses an Java bean named AddressBook and a WSDL file named AddressBook.wsdl. After generating the template files from the WSDL2Java -verbose -role develop-server -container web AddressBook.wsdl command, the following files are generated:

Parsing XML file:  file:e:/example/app/topdown/step1/AddressBook.wsdl 
WSWS3185I: Info: Parsing XML file:  AddressBook.wsdl
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating addr\Address.java.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating addr\Phone.java.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating addr\StateType.java.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating addr\AddressBook.java.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating addr\AddressBookSoapBindingImpl.java..
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating WEB-INF\webservices.xml.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating WEB-INF\ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating WEB-INF\AddressBook_mapping.xml.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating WEB-INF\ibm-webservices-ext.xmi.

The generated file named AddressBookSOAPBindingImpl.java is the template for the implementation bean. It is named after the port in the WSDL file. Generally, this class is renamed to a more meaningful name.

What to do next

Complete the Java bean implementation.
