Assembling Web services applications

You can assemble Java-based Web services applications using assembly tools.

Before you begin

You can assemble Java-based Web services modules with assembly tools provided with WebSphere Application Server.

About this task

This task provides information about what you need to assemble a Web service and in what order you should assemble the parts, for example an enterprise archive (EAR) file. Assembling a Web service is done after you develop the application and configure the deployment descriptors.

Assemble Web services applications by following the actions in the steps for this task section.

Procedure

  1. Start an assembly tool. See "Starting WebSphere Application Server Toolkit" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.
  2. Assemble a Web services-enabled enterprise bean JAR file into an EAR file.
  3. (Optional) Enable the EAR file. When the EAR file contains enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) modules, it must have the Web services endpoint Web archive (WAR) file added with the endptEnabler command-line tool or an assembly tool before deployment.
  4. Assemble a Web services-enabled WAR file into an EAR file.

Results

You have a Web services-enabled EAR file that you can deploy into WebSphere Application Server.

What to do next

Now you need to deploy the Web services-enabled EAR file into WebSphere Application Server.
