You can assemble a Web archive (WAR) file that is enabled for Web
services from Java code 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 that are generated by the
WSDL2Java command-line
tool to complete this task:
- An assembled WAR file that contains the web.xml file, but is
not enabled for Web services.
- The 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 descriptors, and the Java
API for XML-based remote procedure call (JAX-RPC) mapping file classes that
are generated by the WSDL2Java command.
About this task
Assemble a Web services-enabled WAR file from Java code 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.
- Import the JavaBeans implementation and the artifacts
generated by the command-line tooling into the assembly tool.
- Migrate WAR files created with the Assembly Toolkit,
Application Assembly Tool (AAT) or a different tool to an Application Server
Toolkit or Rational Application Developer assembly tool. To migrate files,
import your WAR files to the assembly tool. See "Migrating code artifacts
to an assembly tool" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation.
Results
The artifacts required to enable the Web module for Web services are
added to the WAR file.
