Assembling a Web services-enabled enterprise bean JAR file from a WSDL file

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:

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

  1. Start an assembly tool. See "Starting WebSphere Application Server Toolkit" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.
  2. 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.
  3. 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

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.
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF 
META-INF/ejb-jar.xml 
addr/Address.class 
addr/AddressBook_RI.class 
addr/AddressBookSoapBindingImpl.class 
addr/AddressBookHome.class 
addr/Phone.class
addr/StateType.class 
addr/AddressBook.class 
META-INF/wsdl/AddressBook.wsdl
META-INF/ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi 
META-INF/ibm-webservices-ext.xmi
META-INF/webservices.xml
META-INF/AddressBook_mapping.xml 

What to do next

Configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor . You need to configure the deployment descriptors for the Web service so that WebSphere Application Server can process the incoming Web services requests.
