Assembling a web services-enabled enterprise bean JAR file from a WSDL file
We can assemble a web services-enabled enterprise bean JAR file from a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file with an assembly tool.
We can assemble Java-based web services modules with assembly tools provided with WAS. You need the following artifacts to complete this task:
- An assembled enterprise bean JAR file that contains the 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.
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. Read about starting the assembly tool in the Rational Application Developer documentation.
- If we have not done so already, configure the assembly tool so that it works on Java EE modules. You need to make sure that the Java EE and Web categories are enabled. Read about configuring the assembly tool in the Rational Application Developer documentation.
- Migrate JAR files created with the Assembly Toolkit, Application Assembly Tool or a different tool to the Rational Application Developer assembly tool.
To migrate files, import your JAR files to the assembly tool. Read about migrating code artifacts to an assembly tool in the Rational Application Developer 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 configure the deployment descriptors so that you can deploy the web service into the application server runtime 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
For JAX-RPC web services, configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor . You need to configure the deployment descriptors for the web service so that WAS can process the incoming web services requests.
