Assembling a JAR file that is enabled for web services from an enterprise bean
You can assemble a web service-enabled enterprise bean Java™ archive (JAR) file with an assembly tool using artifacts generated from tooling.
Before you begin
You can assemble Java-based web services modules with assembly tools provided with WebSphere® Application Server.
You need the following artifacts that are generated from the WSDL2Java command-line tool to complete this task:- An assembled enterprise bean JAR file that is not enabled for web services
- A compiled Java class for the service endpoint interface
- A Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file
- The complete webservices.xml, ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi, and ibm-webservices-ext.xmi deployment descriptor, and Java API for XML-based remote procedure call (JAX-RPC) mapping file.
About this task
Procedure
- Start an assembly tool. Read about starting the assembly tool in the Rational® Application Developer documentation.
- 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 documentation.
- Migrate JAR files created with the Assembly Toolkit, Application Assembly Tool or a different tool to the Rational Application Developer assembly tool. To migrate files, import your JAR files to the assembly tool. Read about migrating code artifacts to an assembly tool in the Rational Application Developer documentation.

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.
