Developing Web services
Overview
Use Web services tools to discover, create, and publish Web services that are created from Java beans, DADX files, enterprise beans, WSDL files, and URLs. The Rational Developer products support the creation of Web services using a top-down approach (which starts with a WSDL file) or a bottom-up approach (which starts with a Java bean or EJB).
In this release, the development path that you would typically follow to create and publish a Web service is as follows:
- Create a Web project.
- Create or import an artifact to be turned into a Web service.
- Create a Web service.
- Publish a business entity.
- Publish a Web service.
Web tools assist you in developing Web applications that you can configure as a Web service. Web applications are developed in a Web project, and Server tools allow you to use the WebSphere test environment to test and deploy your Web services.
