Publish WSDL compression files settings

Use this page to publish Web Services Description Language (WSDL) files.

New or updated for this feature pack Important: The WebSphere® Application Server Version 6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services extends the capabilities of this product to introduce support for the Java API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS) 2.0 programming model. JAX-WS is the next generation Web services programming model complimenting the foundation provided by the Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) programming model. Using the strategic JAX-WS programming model, development of Web services and clients is simplified through support of a standards-based annotations model. Although the JAX-RPC programming model and applications are still supported, take advantage of the easy-to-implement JAX-WS programming model to develop new Web services applications and clients.
Supported configurations New or updated for this feature pack Supported configurations: The Feature Pack for Web Services does not support Java Message Service (JMS) transports or enterprise beans. This product only supports an HTTP transport and hosting JavaBeans endpoints within the Web container for JAX-WS Web services applications. To develop enterprise beans hosted as Web services, you must use the JAX-RPC programming model. This product does allow JAX-WS clients to issue requests from any of the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) containers along with the client Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) environment.

The publish WSDL administrative console panel, however, supports both JAX-RPC and JAX-WS services in the Feature Pack for Web Services. The publish WSDL panel generates a compression file that contains WSDL files for all modules in an application that contain a JAX-WS or JAX-RPC Web service. Read about providing the HTTP endpoint URL information to learn how the URL information affects the content of the published WSDL.

To view this administrative console page, click Applications > Enterprise Applications > application_instance > Publish WSDL zip files.

When you click OK, a panel showing one or several compression file names displays. Each compression file contains a WSDL file that represents the Web services-enabled modules in the application. When you select a compression file to publish, a dialogue displays from which you can choose where to create the compression file. Within the published compression files, the directory structure is application_name/module_name/[META-INF|WEB-INF]/wsdl/wsdl_file_name.

In a published WSDL file, the location attribute of a port's soap:address element contains the endpoint URL through which the Web service is accessed. Using the Provide HTTP endpoint URL information and the Provide JMS and EJB endpoint URL information panels, configure the endpoint URLs to be used for the Web services in each module.

Configuration tab

application_name_WSDLFiles.zip

Specifies the application_name_WSDLFiles.zip file containing the WSDL that describes Web services that are accessible by standard SOAP-based ports.

application_name_ExtendedWSDLFiles.zip

Specifies the application_name_ExtendedWSDLFiles.zip file containing the WSDL file that describes the Web services available, including SOAP-based and non-SOAP based (for example, EJB) ports.

If there are no Web services configured for direct EJB access, this compression file name does not appear. Do not use this compression file if you want to produce a WSDL file compliant to standards.
