Deploying an inbound Web service
Deploying a web service to your production environment is treated the same way as deploying other assets -- as updates to the WebSphere Application Server using the WAS Administration Console.
Before exporting your assets, ensure that WebSphere Commerce Developer is at the same fix pack level as your WebSphere Commerce Server.
Here is an overview of the process:
- Package the assets:
- In the development environment, right click the WebServicesRouter Web project and select Export... > Export... and select WAR file. Select your Web project and a destination on the following screens to create your WAR file.
Create a zip file for the store assets by packaging your assets as a partial application. This zip file will contain files that you have updated to support your Web service, such as:
- messaging/webservice_SOABOD_template.extension.xml
- struts-config-ext.xml
- any additional XML files you created for message mapping
- new JSP files
files being updated are the and any additional XML files created for message mapping purposes. You may also have customized your and/or created new JSP files.
- Open the WAS Administration Console.
- Follow the Updating applications with the console documentation
in the WAS information center to deploy the web services
and the store assets.
- To deploy the WebServicesRouter Web project, follow the directions for Single Module.
- For the store assets, follow the directions for Partial Application.
You do not need to save your configuration until you have completed all your updates. Saving between updates will add unnecessary time to the deployment steps.
