Overview

WAS provides command-line tools to develop Web services clients and implementations that are based on the Web Services for J2EE specification. Set up your development environment before you start the developing Web services.

Before you can set up a Web services development environment within WAS, Install WAS.

Set up a Web services development environment by completing the following actions.

 

Procedure

1. Set up the environment.

   

   cd /profile_root\<application_server>\bin directory.
   setupCmdLine.bat

   

   cd profile_root/<application_server>/bin
   . ./setupCmdLine.sh

   You can set WAS_USER_SCRIPT to...

   profile_root\<application_server>\bin\setupCmdLine.bat

   ...which has the same effect as running the setupCmdLine command.

2. Configure the path...

   

   set PATH=%WAS_PATH%;%PATH%

   

   export PATH=$WAS_PATH:$PATH

 

Results

You have set up an environment so that you can develop Web services. If you get a NullPointerException error when the HTTP basic authentication fails, you can fix the problem by including...

<JAVA_HOME>\jre\lib\ext

...in the classpath at the command-line, or by manually editing it at WAS_EXT_DIRS.
