Administer the Web services gateway

 

If you have just applied a WAS fix pack or upgrade, your gateway configuration is currently empty. If you want to restore a saved configuration, do so before you add any new channels, filters, UDDI references or Web services.

To administer the Web services gateway, complete the following steps:

 

  1. Start the WAS Administrative Server.

  2. Open the following Web page:

    http://host:port/wsgw/admin/WAS_Network_Deployment .html

    The order of the elements on this page is significant, for the following reasons:

    • If you change the namespace URI or WSDL URI (using the Configure Gateway option), you break the link back to the gateway for every Web service that you have already deployed. So set these URIs before you deploy any Web services.

    • When you configure a Web service, you choose the following entities:

      • The channels on which it is available.
      • The filters (if any) which apply to it.
      • The UDDI references (if any) to which it is deployed.

      Each of these choices is made from a list of resources which have already been deployed to the Web services gateway. So you might want to deploy your channels, filters and UDDI references to the gateway before you configure the Web services that use them.

    Note:

    • You configure each of the above elements of the gateway by filling in fields in a panel.

    • In all of the gateway panels, fields marks with asterisks are required.

    • After you deploy a channel, filter, or UDDI reference refresh all other open browser windows to ensure that up-to-date lists are displayed.
