Configure the JAX-RPC Web services client deployment descriptor with an assembly tool

 

You can configure JAX-RPC Web services client deployment descriptor with an assembly tool.

You can configure deployment descriptors with assembly tools provided with WAS. Also, we need an enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) Java archive (JAR) file, Web archive (WAR) file or an application client file that you can import into the assembly tool.

Assemble the client JAR file into an EAR file or assemble the client WAR file into an EAR file.

 

Overview

Complete this task if you are developing a managed client that runs in the J2EE client container. This task is done after you assemble the EJB or Web module.

Configure the client deployment descriptor with an assembly tool by following the steps provided:

 

Procedure

  1. Start an assembly tool. See "Starting WAS Toolkit" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.

  2. If you have not done so already, configure the assembly tool to work on J2EE modules. Verify the J2EE and Web categories are enabled. See "Configuring WAS Toolkit" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.

  3. Migrate the WAR or Java Archive (JAR) files that are created with the Assembly Toolkit, Application Assembly Tool (AAT) or a different tool to assembly tools. To migrate files, import your WAR files to the assembly tool. See "Importing WAR files" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.

  4. Configure the client deployment descriptor. See "Client Deployment Descriptor editor" in the Application Server Toolkit documentation for more information.

 

Results

You have a client deployment descriptor that is configured.

 

What to do next

Test the Web services client. This task explains how to test an unmanaged client Java archive (JAR) file and an unmanaged client application.
