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
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.
