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
- Start an assembly tool. See "Starting
WebSphere Application Server Toolkit" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation
for more information.
- If you have not done so already, configure the
assembly tool so that it works on J2EE modules. You need to make sure that
the J2EE and Web categories are enabled. See "Configuring
WebSphere Application Server Toolkit" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation
for more information.
- Migrate JAR files created with the Assembly Toolkit,
Application Assembly Tool or a different tool to Application Server Toolkit
or Rational Application Developer assembly tool. To migrate
files, import your JAR files to the assembly tool. See "Migrating code artifacts
to an assembly tool" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation.
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
After assembling the
AddressBook.jar JAR filecontains
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.
