Developing JAX-RPC web services

Subtopics

• Set up a development environment for web services
  The application server provides command-line tools to develop web services clients and implementations based on the Web Services for Java EE specification. Set up your development environment before you start developing web services.

• Develop a service endpoint interface from JavaBeans for JAX-RPC applications
  We must develop a service endpoint interface if you are developing a JAX-RPC web service from a JavaBeans implementation.

• Develop a service endpoint interface from enterprise beans for JAX-RPC applications
  We can develop a service endpoint interface from an EJB for JAX-RPC web services.

• Develop a WSDL file for JAX-RPC applications
  We can develop a WSDL file to describe the characteristics of the JAX-RPC web services application including where the service resides and how to invoke the service using an XML format.

• Complete the JavaBeans implementation for JAX-RPC applications
  After we have developed the Java artifacts necessary to develop a JAX-RPC web service, you must complete the JavaBeans implementation to assemble a JAR file or a WAR file based on the programming model. The resulting JAR file or WAR file contains the JavaBeans implementation and the supported classes created from the tooling.

• Complete the EJB implementation for JAX-RPC applications
  After we have developed the Java artifacts necessary to develop a JAX-RPC web service, you must complete the EJB implementation to assemble a JAR file or a WAR file based on the programming model. The resulting JAR file or WAR file contains the EJB implementation and the supported classes created from the tooling.

• Configure webservices.xml for JAX-RPC web services
  We can configure webservices.xml with an assembly tool.

• Configure webservices.xml for handler classes
  We can use an assembly tool to configure webservices.xml for user-provided handler classes.

• Configure the ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi deployment descriptor for JAX-RPC web services
  Use assembly tools to configure the ibm-webservices-bnd.xml deployment descriptor. This file stores binding information that is associated with the endpoints defined with webservices.xml file.
