InfoCenter Home > 6.6.0.14: XML-SOAP Admin toolUse the SOAPEarEnabler tool to add administrative interfaces to your EAR files. You can then use the XML-SOAP Admin tool with these EAR files. WebSphere Application Server provides a modified version of the Apache SOAP XML-Admin interface (or XML-SOAP Admin tool) for each SOAP-enabled EAR file. This interface allows you to do the following for each context root:
Accessing the XML-SOAP Admin toolAccess the XML-SOAP Admin tool through a Web browser by specifying: http://localhost/<contextroot>/admin/index.html Note: The context root, in this example, is the context specified when installing the SOAP-enabled .ear file. The context root for SOAP samples is soapsamples.Therefore to use this interface with the SOAP samples, enter: http://localhost/soapsamples/admin/index.html You cannot use the XML-SOAP Admin tool to add or remove a service. Use the SOAP Ear Enabler 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 will remain stopped until the next time you use the XML-SOAP Admin tool to start it again. You can add the XML-SOAP Admin 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 Admin tool interface. Replying "yes" will add the necessary JSP files and bindings that allow you to access the XML-SOAP Admin tool interface for the application. The interface is an optional addition because you may not want to expose it in a production environment. Optionally, you may choose to use the application assembly tool to assign roles to the XML-SOAP Admin tool so that it is secure. Updating an existing SOAP-enabled Enterprise ApplicationThe Application Assembly tool is used to update the contents and configuration of an enterprise application. For example, to secure the XML-SOAP Admin tool interface for a particular EAR, use the application assembly tool to secure the resource. (See article Securing applications for security information.) However, you cannot use the application assembly tool to add or remove a Web service. To add or remove a service to the XML-SOAP Admin tool, start
with the original EAR file and execute the enabling process again.
Note: The SOAP Ear Enabler tool saves a backup copy of the EAR file. |
