This task explains how to assemble a Web services-enabled
enterprise bean Java archive (JAR) file from a Web Services Description
Language (WSDL) file with an assembly tool.
Before you begin
You can assemble Java-based Web services modules with assembly tools provided
with WebSphere Application Server.
You need the following artifacts to complete this task:
- An assembled enterprise bean JAR file that contains the Enterprise
JavaBeans (EJB) implementation and all classes that generate from
the WSDL2Java command-line tool when the role argument is develop-server and
the container argument is EJB.
- A WSDL file
- The complete webservices.xml, ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi and ibm-webservices-ext.xmi deployment
descriptors, and the Java API for XML-based remote procedure call
(JAX-RPC) mapping file.
About this task
Assemble a Web services-enabled enterprise bean JAR file
from a WSDL file by following the actions in the steps for this task
section.
Procedure
- Click File > Import to
import the enterprise bean JAR file into the assembly tool.
- Open the J2EE perspective by clicking
Windows >Open Perspective > Other > J2EE.
- Switch to the Project Navigator
pane by clicking the Project Navigator tab.
- Locate the project for the JAR file
you just imported in the Project Navigator pane.
- Expand the ejbModule entry so that
the META-INF directory is displayed. Expand the META-INF directory.
- Right-click the META-INF directory
and select New > Folder. Create a subfolder named wsdl in
the META-INF directory.
- Copy the WSDL file to the META-INF\wsdl directory
by right-clicking the wsdl directory and click File > Import > File
system. Browse the WSDL file for this Web service and click Finish.
- Copy the JAX-RPC mapping file as
specified by the deployment descriptor <jaxrpc-mapping-file> element
of the webservices.xml file.
- Copy the webservices.xml, ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi and ibm-webservices-ext.xmi deployment
descriptors into the META-INF subdirectory in the same manner.
Results
You have the artifacts required to Web service-enable an EJB
module for Web services. The artifacts are added to the JAR file.
Now you need to configure the deployment descriptors so that you can
deploy the Web service into the WebSphere Application Server run time
environment.
Example
The
AddressBook.jar JAR file contains the following
files after assembly. The files added in this task are in bold. These
files include the WSDL file, the deployment descriptors, and the JAX-RPC
mapping file.
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
META-INF/ejb-jar.xml

addr/AddressBook_RI.class
addr/AddressBookSoapBindingImpl.class
addr/AddressBookHome.class
