Creating a WebSphere Server and JAX-RPC Web project
If you plan to create a Web service that uses WebSphere® Application Server as its server, the required version of WAS must be installed and a server created before you begin creating your Web service.
To create a WebSphere server:
- From the File menu, select
New > Other > Server > Server > Next.
- Select WAS as the server type, electing the correct version of WebSphere for your install, and click Next.
- On the WebSphere server settings page enter a server name.
- Click Finish. To see the server you have created in the workspace, from the Window menu select
Show view > Other > Server > Servers > Ok.
To build a dynamic Web project that points to the WebSphere server that you have created:
- Create the service Web project by selecting
New > Web > Dynamic Web project.
- Project Name: enter a project name
- Target runtime: select the version of WAS that you have installed. If it is not listed, click
New and browse to the location where it is installed.
- Configuration: Accept the default configuration for your server, or click
Modify to change the project facets.
- Ensure that
Add project to an EAR is selected. The EAR will be generated by the New project wizard.
- Click Finish.
- To associate the project with the server, right-click the WebSphere server you created in the Servers view and select
Add and remove projects. Select the service and client projects from the Available projects list and click
Add.
- Start the server by right-clicking it and selecting
Start.
