Developing a new Web service with an existing WSDL file using JavaBeans technology

This task explains how to develop a new Web service with an existing Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file using the JavaBeans technology.

Before you begin

Locate the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file that defines the Web service to be implemented. You can develop a WSDL or obtain one from an existing Web service through e-mail, downloading or a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

Why and when to perform this task

This task is one of four ways that you can develop a Web service. You can also develop a Web service from an enterprise bean, develop a Web service from a Java bean, or develop a Web service with an existing WSDL file using an enterprise bean.

Develop a new Web service with an existing WSDL file using JavaBeans technology with the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Develop JavaBeans implementation templates and bindings from a WSDL file. You need to complete this step to create the deployment descriptor templates that are configured to map the service implementation to the JavaBeans implementation.
  2. Complete the JavaBeans implementation.
  3. Configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor. Configure the ibm-webservices-bnd.xml deployment descriptor so that WebSphere Application Server can process the incoming Web services requests.
  4. Configure the ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi deployment descriptor. Configure the ibm-webservices-bnd.xml deployment descriptor so that WebSphere Application Server can process the incoming Web services requests.
  5. Assemble a Web archive (WAR) file when starting from a WSDL file. This article explains how to assemble the artifacts required to enable the Web module for Web services are added to the WAR file.
  6. Assemble a Web services-enabled WAR into an enterprise archive (EAR) file. This topic explains how to assemble the artifacts required to enable the Web module for Web services that are added to the EAR file.
  7. Deploy the enterprise archive (EAR) file into WebSphere Application Server.

    This topic presents the steps necessary to deploy the EAR file that has been configured and enabled for Web services.

Result

You have a new Web service with an existing WSDL file using JavaBeans technology

What to do next

After you deploy the EAR file, test the Web service to make sure that it works with WebSphere Application Server.
