Develop JAX-RPC web services with WSDL files (top-down)

Subtopics

• 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. We must set up the development environment before starting developing web services.

• Develop Java artifacts for JAX-RPC applications from a WSDL file
  We can develop Java artifacts from a WSDL file for JAX-RPC applications from a WSDL file using the WSDL2Java command-line tool to create Java implementation templates and bindings.

• Develop EJB implementation templates and bindings from a WSDL file for JAX-RPC web services
  We can develop EJB implementation deployment descriptor templates and bindings from a WSDL file for a JAX-RPC application.

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

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

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

• Configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor for handler classes
  Use an assembly tool to configure the webservices.xml deployment descriptor 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 associated with the endpoints defined with the webservices.xml deployment descriptor file.
