Set up a development environment for web services
The application server provides command-line tools to develop web services clients and implementations that are based on the Web Services for Java EE specification. Set up your development environment before you start developing web services.
Before we can set up a web services development environment within WebSphere Application Server, install WAS. For detailed information on installing the application server, read about installing the application server environment.
Set up a web services development environment by completing the following actions.
- Set up the environment.
Run the setupCmdLine.bat command from the /profile_root/<application_server>/bin directory.
Operating systems such as AIX or Linux source the script to the parent shell to inherit the exported variables by running this command:
- . ./setupCmdLine.sh (Notice the space between the periods.)
We can set WAS_USER_SCRIPT to profile_root\<application_server>\bin\setupCmdLine.bat, which has the same effect as running the setupCmdLine command.
- Configure the path. We can add the WebSphere and Java bin directories
to your path by typing:
- set PATH=%WAS_PATH%;%PATH%
- export PATH=$WAS_PATH:$PATH
Results
You have set up an environment so that we can develop Web services.
