Develop Web services deployment descriptor templates for a Java bean implementation

To develop the Java bean implementation templates and bindings from a WSDL file, obtain the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the WSDL file to use.

If it is a local file and you are running the Windows platform, the URL looks like this: file:drive:\path\file_name.wsdl. If you are using the UNIX platform, the URL looks like this: file:/path/file_name.wsdl. You can also specify local files using the absolute or relative file system path.

Implementation templates are generated using the -role develop-server option of the WSDL2Java command. The WSDL2Java command also generates bindings and deployment descriptors. To develop Java bean implementation templates and bindings from a WSDL file...

  1. Run the WSDL2Java -verbose -role develop-server -container web wsdlURL command. Since the verbose option is specified, a list of all generated files is displayed when the command runs.

Templates for the implementation and deployment descriptors required to implement a Web service, as well as bindings files. These templates are partially filled with information from the WSDL file.

 

Usage Scenario

The following example uses an Java bean named AddressBook and a WSDL file named AddressBook.wsdl. After generating the template files from the WSDL2Java -verbose -role develop-server -container web AddressBook.wsdl command, the following files are generated: 

Parsing XML file:  file:e:/example/app/topdown/step1/AddressBook.wsdl 
WSWS3185I: Info: Parsing XML file:  AddressBook.wsdl
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating addr\Address.java.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating addr\Phone.java.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating addr\StateType.java.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating addr\AddressBook.java.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating addr\AddressBookSoapBindingImpl.java..
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating WEB-INF\webservices.xml.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating WEB-INF\ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating WEB-INF\AddressBook_mapping.xml.
WSWS3282I: Info: Generating WEB-INF\ibm-webservices-ext.xmi.

The generated file named AddressBookSOAPBindingImpl.java is the template for the implementation bean. It is named after the port in the WSDL file. Generally, this class is renamed to a more meaningful name.
