You can configure JAX-RPC Web services client deployment
descriptor with an assembly tool.
Before you begin
You can configure deployment descriptors with assembly
tools provided with WebSphere® Application Server.
Also,
you need an enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB) Java™ archive (JAR) file, Web archive (WAR) file
or an application client file that you can import into the assembly
tool.
Assemble the client JAR file into an EAR file or assemble
the client WAR file into an EAR file. To learn more, see the information
on assembling a Web services-enabled client JAR file into an EAR file
or assembling a Web services-enabled client WAR file into an EAR file.
About this task
Complete this task if you are developing a managed client
that runs in the Java EE client container. This task is done after
you assemble the EJB or Web module.
Procedure
- Start an assembly tool. Read about starting
the assembly tool in the Rational® Application Developer information.
- If you have not done so already, configure the assembly
tool so that it works on Java EE modules. You need to make sure that
the Java EE and Web categories are enabled. Read
about configuring the assembly tool in the Rational Application Developer information.
- Migrate the Web archive (WAR) or Java Archive
(JAR) files that are created with the Assembly Toolkit, Application
Assembly Tool (AAT) or a different tool to assembly tools. To
migrate files, import your WAR or JAR files to the assembly tool.
Read about migrating code artifacts to an assembly tool in the Rational Application Developer information.
- Configure the client deployment descriptor. Read
about the configuring the client deployment descriptor in the Rational Application Developer information.
Results
You have a client deployment descriptor that is configured.
What to do next
Test the Web services client. See the testing Web services-enabled
clients information to learn more about how to test an unmanaged client Java archive (JAR) file and an unmanaged client
application.
