View web services deployment descriptors in the dmgr console

We can view the web services client and server deployment descriptors for a deployed web services application. We can view the bindings in the deployment descriptors.

Before we can view the deployment descriptors, you need to complete all tasks required to implement a JAX-RPC web service, create the deployment descriptor templates that were generated by the WSDL2Java command-line tool, configure the deployment descriptors and bindings, and deploy the Web service application into WebSphere Application Server. Review the implementing web services application documentation for more information on developing and implementing web services. Deployment descriptors contain the information needed by a web services client to communicate with the server for which the Web services is installed. This information is added to the deployment descriptor templates after a web service is developed or an existing web service is located. The data that we can view in the deployment descriptor includes the following:

After we have developed a web service containing all the necessary artifacts, created the deployment descriptors from the deployment descriptor templates, configured the deployment descriptors, and deployed the web services application into WAS; now we can view the deployment descriptors and bindings in the dmgr console.

Similar to JAX-RPC web services, we can use deployment descriptors to describe JAX-WS web services. For JAX-WS web services, the use of the webservices.xml deployment descriptor is optional because we can use annotations to specify all of the information contained within the deployment descriptor file. We can use the deployment descriptor file to augment or override existing JAX-WS annotations. Any information defined in the webservices.xml deployment descriptor overrides any corresponding information specified by annotations.

  1. Open the dmgr console.

  2. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name > Manage Modules.

    • Click View web services client deployment descriptor extension.

    • Click View web services server deployment descriptor.

    • Click View web services server deployment descriptor extension.

  3. Click Expand All to view the deployment descriptor contents.
  4. Verify deployment descriptor and bindings configurations.

You have viewed and verified the deployment descriptors and bindings for the web services application.
