| <h2>Creating Web services and clients using Apache CXF and Ant |
| tasks</h2> |
| <p>In addition to using the Web services wizards it is also possible to generate Ant files which you can use to create Web services and |
| clients using the Apache CXF runtime environment. The Ant tasks can be run in the Eclipse workspace using Run As > Ant Build... or they can be |
| run headless through the command line.</p> |
| <h3>Prerequisites:</h3> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Install and configure the Apache CXF runtime environment. See |
| the <a |
| href="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.jst.ws.jaxws.doc.user/gettingstarted/requirements.html">Requirements |
| and Installation</a> page for more details.</li> |
| <li>Create a Dynamic Web Project for the Web Service or client and enable it for Apache CXF Web services development as described here: <a |
| href="../tasks/create_cxf_project.html">Create a project for CXF Web services</a>.</li> |
| <li>Import the required Ant files into your workspace: |
| <ol> |
| <li>Use the existing Dynamic Web Project created above or create a new project.</li> |
| <li>Import the Ant files by selecting <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.newWizard(newWizardId=org.eclipse.wst.command.env.ui.AntFileImportWizard)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="Open the ant files wizard"><strong>File > New > Other... > Web Services > Ant Files</strong></a> from the top level menu.</li> |
| <li>Select the following:</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Apache CXF as the Web service runtime.</li> |
| <li>The Web service or client type.</li> |
| <li>The folder into which the Ant files will be generated.</li> |
| </ul> |
| Click <b>Finish</b>. The wizard will generate two files into the selected folder. |
| <ol> |
| <li>An Ant file: One of <samp class="codeph">cxf_bujava.xml</samp> (bottom-up), <samp class="codeph">cxf_tdjava.xml</samp> (top-down) or <samp class="codeph">cxf_client.xml</samp> (client).</li> |
| <li>An Ant properties file which is referenced by the Ant file: One of <samp class="codeph">cxf_bujava.properties</samp> (bottom-up), <samp class="codeph">cxf_tdjava.properties</samp> (top-down) or <samp class="codeph">cxf_client.properties</samp> (client)</li> |
