Web Service Creation Wizard 

Use

The Web Service Creation Wizard (WS Creation Wizard) makes it possible to define a Web service in a few steps. Features are assigned using configuration profiles.

When a Web service is defined using the WS Creation Wizard, the following are also created automatically:

·         A virtual interface

·         A Web service definition

·         A Web service and a Web service configuration

 

Prerequisites

You have already created an EJB assembly project and assigned an EJB reference to this.

Procedure

...

       1.      Open the assembly project. Select the EJB reference and choose New –> Web Service.

       2.      Enter the name of the Web service.

       3.      Choose a suitable Default Configuration Type.

Configuration type:	Features:
Simple SOAP	·         Transport binding: SOAP through HTTP ·         Stateless communication ·         No security
Basic Auth SOAP	·         Transport binding: SOAP through HTTP ·         Stateless communication ·         Authentication: HTTP Basic ·         Authorization: Yes All EJB security roles assigned to all Web service methods ·         Transport guarantee: No

       7.      On the following screen, enter the name of an EAR project, if required.

So that a Web service can be deployed, it has to be assigned to an EAR project. If the workspace contains several EAR projects or none at all, you need to enter a name for the EAR project. If an EAR project exists in the workspace, this EAR project is selected. 

       8.      Deploy the Web service.

Select the name of the EAR project, and choose Build EAR File from the context menu.

Select the name of the generated EAR file, and choose deploy from the context menu.

You have created a Web service and deployed it.

The virtual interface, the Web service definition, the Web service, and the Web service configuration were created automatically.
