[5.0 only]Administering deployed Apache SOAP Web services (XML-SOAP administrative tool)

Why and when to perform this task

Administer the deployed Apache SOAP Web service with the XML-SOAP administrative tool.

Use the SOAPEarEnabler command-line tool to add administrative interfaces to your EAR files. Then, use the XML-SOAP administrative tool with these EAR files to do the following tasks for each context root:

Access the XML-SOAP administrative tool through a Web browser by specifying:

http://localhost/<contextroot>/admin/index.html
where context root is the context specified when installing the SOAP-enabled .ear file.

What to do next

You cannot use the XML-SOAP administrative tool to add or remove a service. Use the SoapEarEnabler tool to add or remove services. A stopped service is persisted across starts and stops of the application server. Therefore, if you stop a service, it remains stopped until the next time you use the XML-SOAP administrative tool to start it again.

You can add the XML-SOAP administrative tool interface to an enterprise application when you SOAP-enable the EAR file. In interactive mode, you are asked whether you want to add the XML-SOAP administrative tool interface. Replying yes will add the necessary Java Server Pages (JSP) files and bindings allowing access to the XML-SOAP administrative tool interface for the application. The interface is an optional addition because you might not want to expose it in a production environment. Optionally, secure the XML-SOAP administrative tool using the Application Assembly Tool (AAT) to assign roles.
