Set up a development environment for Web services
WebSphere Application Server provides command-line tools to develop
Web services clients and implementations that are based on the Web Services
for J2EE specification. Set
up your development environment before you start the developing Web services.
Before you can set up a Web services development
environment within WebSphere Application Server, Install WebSphere Application Server.
Overview
Set up a Web services development environment by completing the following
actions.
Procedure
Set up the environment.
Run the setupCmdLine script on the Qshell command
line from the . /profile_root/bin
directory.
Results
You have set up an environment so that you can develop Web services.
If you get a NullPointerException error when the HTTP basic authentication
fails, you can fix the problem by including <JAVA_HOME>\jre\lib\ext in
the classpath at the command-line, or by manually editing it at WAS_EXT_DIRS.
What to do next
Implement Web services
applications. This topic is a good starting point in learning about
how to develop and implement a J2EE Web service.
