Set up a Web services client development environment

WAS provides several scripts that you can use to develop Web services clients and implementations. To use the scripts, set up the Java environment that Web services J2SE clients use and set the classpath variable for Web services clients.

To set up a development environment for Web services client applications, follow these steps:

1. On the OS/400 command line, run the STRQSH (Start Qshell) command.

2. On the Qshell command line, use the cd command to change to the directory that contains the script. For example, if you are using WAS, run this command:

   cd /QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/Base/bin

3. Run the setupWebServiceClientEnv script. There are no parameters to specify for this script. For additional information on the script, see The setupWebServiceClientEnv script.
