Configuring the webservices.xml deployment descriptor

This topic explains how to configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor with an assembly tool.

Before you begin

Note: The webservices.xml deployment descriptor is for JAX-RPC based Web services application. It is not required for JAX-WS enabled application.

To configure the client deployment descriptor see "Client Deployment Descriptor editor" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.

Before you can configure the ibm-webservices-bnd.xml deployment descriptor, you must develop the deployment descriptor templates and complete the implementation.

About this task

This task is one of the steps in developing a Web service. You need to configure the deployment descriptors so that WebSphere Application Server can process the incoming Web services requests.

Then, complete the EJB implementation or complete the JavaBeans implementation. When the EJB implementation is complete, the enterprise bean Java archive (JAR) file is assembled. When the JavaBeans implementation is complete, the Web module Web archive (WAR) file is assembled. These archive files contain the webservices.xml deployment descriptor. The archive files must be assembled before you can configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor.

Configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor by following the steps provided in this task section.

Procedure

  1. The Eclipse assembly tools, Application Server Toolkit and assembly tools, provide a graphical interface for developing code artifacts, assembling the code artifacts into various archives (modules) and configuring related Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Version 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 compliant deployment descriptors.
  2. Start an assembly tool. See "Starting WebSphere Application Server Toolkit" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.
  3. If you have not done so already, configure the assembly tool to work on J2EE modules. 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.
  4. Migrate the Web archive (WAR) files that are created with the Assembly Toolkit, Application Assembly Tool (AAT) or a different tool to an Application Server Toolkit or other assembly tools. To migrate files, import your WAR files to the assembly tool. See "Importing Web archive (WAR) files" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.
  5. Configure the deployment descriptor. See "Editing Web services" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.

Results

You have a webservices.xml deployment descriptor that is configured.

What to do next

Now, you must configure the ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi deployment descriptor.
