Before you begin
Before doing this task, you need to assemble a Web services-enabled EJB JAR into an enterprise archive (EAR) file.
Why and when to perform this task
The endptEnabler command-line tool adds one or more router modules to the EAR file for each EJB JAR module within the EAR file. A router module provides an endpoint for the Web services in a particular Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) Java archive (JAR) module.
Each router module supports a specific transport such as HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) or Java Messaging Service (JMS). If there are no EJB JAR modules in the EAR file, it is not necessary to use these tools.
To enable an EAR file with the endptEnabler command:
Steps for this task
Results
An HTTP or JMS router module is added to the EAR file for each Web services-enabled EJB JAR module contained in the EAR file. For HTTP, a context-root is configured for the application so the Web service can be invoked through a URL. The URL used to invoke the Web service is:http://host[:port]/context-root/services/port-component-name
What to do next
Deploy the EAR file into WebSphere Application Server.
