WAS v8.5 > Develop applications > Develop web services > Develop JAX-RPC web services with WSDL files (top-down)Configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor for JAX-RPC web services
We can configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor with an assembly tool.
To configure the client deployment descriptor, read about the configuring the client deployment descriptor in the Rational Application Developer information. Before we can configure the ibm-webservices-bnd.xml deployment descriptor, you must develop the deployment descriptor templates and complete the implementation. For JAX-RPC web services, this task is one of the required steps in developing a web service. You need to configure the deployment descriptors so the application server can process the incoming web services requests.
If you are developing a web service from JavaBeans, we can develop web services JavaBeans deployment descriptor templates from a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file. Then, you complete the JavaBeans implementation. To learn more, read about developing JavaBeans deployment descriptor templates from a WSDL file and completing the JavaBeans implementation.
If you are developing a web service from an enterprise bean, we can develop web services EJB deployment descriptor templates from a WSDL file. Then, you complete the EJB implementation. To learn more, read about developing web services EJB deployment descriptor templates from a WSDL file and completing the EJB implementation.
When the JavaBeans implementation is complete, the web module WAR file is assembled. When the EJB implementation is complete, the enterprise bean JAR file is assembled. These archive files contain the webservices.xml deployment descriptor. The archive files must be assembled before we can configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor.
The assembly tools provide a graphical interface for developing code artifacts, assembling the code artifacts into various archives (modules) and configuring compliant deployment descriptors for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE ).
Configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor by following the steps provided in this task section.
- Start an assembly tool. Read about starting the assembly tool in the Rational Application Developer information.
- If we have not done so already, configure the assembly tool so that it works on Java EE modules. You need to verify the Java EE and Web categories are enabled. Read about configuring the assembly tool in the Rational Application Developer information.
- Migrate the WAR files created with the Assembly Toolkit, Application Assembly Tool (AAT) or a different tool to the Rational Application Developer assembly tool. To migrate files, import your WAR files to the assembly tool. Read about migrating code artifacts to an assembly tool in the Rational Application Developer information.
- Configure the deployment descriptor. Read about the configuring the client deployment descriptor in the Rational Application Developer information.
Results
You have a webservices.xml deployment descriptor that is configured.
For JAX-RPC web services, configure the ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi deployment descriptor. To learn more, see the configuring the ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi deployment descriptor for JAX-RPC web services information.
