Develop JAX-RPC web services deployment descriptor templates for a JavaBeans implementation

Deployment descriptors are standard text files, formatted using XML and packaged in a web services application. Deployment descriptors are required to deploy Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) web services that are developed using Web Services for Java EE technology.

Develop a WSDL file.

You need a WSDL file to use web services. We can develop your own WSDL file or get one from a web services provider through email, downloading, or through a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). This documentation assumes you are creating your own. See the developing a WSDL file for JAX-RPC applications information.

Complete this task creates the deployment descriptors used to describe how to map the service implementation to a JavaBeans component for Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) applications.

To develop the deployment descriptor templates from a WSDL file, obtain the web address of the WSDL file.

If the WSDL file is a local file and you are running on the Windows platform, the web address looks like this example: file:drive:\path\file_name.wsdl. If you are using the Linux or Unix platform, the Web address looks like this example: file:/path/file_name.wsdl. We can also specify local files using the absolute or relative file system path.

When the web service is a JavaBeans implementation in a web module, the webservices.xml,ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi and ibm-webservices.ext.xmi deployment descriptors and the JAX-RPC mapping file are generated in the WEB-INF subdirectory.

Procedure

Run the WSDL2Java -verbose -role develop-server -container web -genJava no wsdlURL command to generate the server deployment descriptor templates and mapping file into the WEB-INF subdirectory. If the -verbose option is specified, a list of all the generated files is displayed when the command runs.

Results

You have deployment descriptor templates that are required to implement or use JAX-RPC web services.

Example

Use a WSDL file named AddressBookJ2WB.wsdl:

Generate the template files:

WSDL2Java -verbose -role develop-server -container web -genJava no AddressBookJ2WB.wsdl

The deployment descriptor templates and mapping file are generated into the WEB-INF subdirectory:

Parsing XML file: AddressBookJ2WB.wsdl
Generating: WEB-INF\webservices.xml
Generating: WEB-INF\ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi
Generating: WEB-INF\ibm-webservices-ext.xmi
Generating: WEB-INF\AddressBookJ2WB_mapping.xml

What to do next

Now, configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor and configure the ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi deployment descriptor so that application server can process the incoming web services. After you configure the deployment descriptors, you must assemble the web services application for deployment. See the information on configuring the webservices.xml deployment descriptor for JAX-RPC web services and configuring the ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi deployment descriptor for JAX-RPC web services.
