ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi assembly properties

The ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi file is a deployment descriptor for a Web services-enabled Web module or an enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) module. This file contains information for the Web services run time that is either WebSphere product-specific or was not specified by the Web Services for Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) specification.

We can edit these properties using an assembly tool. See Configuring the ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi deployment descriptor for instructions.

The following user-defined assembly properties are supported:

  • wsDescNameLink

    Attribute of the wsdescBindings element that specifies the link to the corresponding <webservice-description-name> elemetn in the webservices.xml file.

  • pc-name-link

    Attribute of the pcBindings element that specifies the link to the <port-component-name> element in the webservices.xml file.

  • scope

    Attribute of the pcBindings element that specifies when new instances of implementation beans are created. Possible values are request, session, and application.

We can change scope value for a deployed Web service using the administrative console. Click Enterprise Applications > application > Web modules or EJB modules > module > Web Services Implementation Scope.

 

Bindings file examples

The following examples demonstrate the spelling and position of the various attributes. We cannot cut and paste these examples because they do not contain the required ID attributes. If you add elements to a binding file template generated by the WSDL2Java command, confirm that each element has an ID attribute with a unique string value. Review the template xmi files generated by the WSDL2Java command for examples of ID strings.
