| <searchtitle>Creating a Java bean skeleton from a WSDL document using the |
| Apache Axis run-time environment</searchtitle> |
| </titlealts> |
| <shortdesc>The Web service wizard assists you in creating a skeleton bean |
| from an existing WSDL document. The skeleton bean contains a set of methods |
| that correspond to the operations described in the WSDL document. When the |
| bean is created, each method has a trivial implementation that you replace |
| by editing the bean.</shortdesc> |
| <taskbody> |
| <prereq><p>Prerequisites:</p><ol> |
| <li id="createtomcatlink">If you are using the Apache Jakarta Tomcat servlet |
| container as your server, you must install it, configure an instance of it, |
| and create a Web project targeted to it as described in <xref href="ttomcatserv.dita" |
| scope="local">Creating an Apache Tomcat server and Web project</xref></li> |
| <li>Create or import a WSDL file into the Web Content folder of the Web project. |
| You can only use a WSDL file that contains a service element.</li> |
| </ol></prereq> |
| <context>To create a Web service from a WSDL file using the Apache Axis 1.0 |
| run-time environment:</context> |
| <steps> |
| <step><cmd>Switch to the J2EE perspective (<uicontrol>Window > Open Perspective |
| > J2EE</uicontrol>).</cmd></step> |
| <step><cmd>In the Project Explorer view, select the WSDL file that you created |
| or imported into the Web Content folder of your Web project.</cmd></step> |
| <step><cmd>Click <uicontrol>File > New > Other</uicontrol>. Select <uicontrol>Web |
| Services</uicontrol> in order to display the various Web service wizards. |
| Select the <uicontrol>Web Service</uicontrol> wizard. Click <uicontrol>Next</uicontrol>.</cmd> |
| </step> |
| <step><cmd>Web Services page: select <uicontrol>Top down Java bean Web service</uicontrol> as |
| your Web service type. You can optionally choose to do the following: </cmd> |
| <info conref="twsbeana.dita#twsbeana/createstep4ul"></info></step> |
| <step><cmd>Web Service Selection page: Enter the URI to the WSDL, WSIL, or |
| HTML file that will be used to generate the <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." |
| tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> bean. If you have selected the WSDL |
| file before starting the wizard, this information should be prefilled. You |
| can optionally generate a WSIL file from this file as well.</cmd><info> Ensure |
| that there are no spaces at the beginning of the URI or you may generate a |
| null pointer exception.</info></step> |
| <step><cmd>Service Deployment Configuration page: specify the server and client |
| deployment settings.</cmd> |
| <substeps> |
| <substep><cmd>Click <uicontrol>Edit</uicontrol> and select the Apache Axis |
| run-time environment and select the server on which you want to run your Web |
| service and Web service client.</cmd></substep> |
| <substep><cmd>Select the Web project in which you want your Web service created. </cmd> |
| <info>The wizard will create this for you if they do not already exist.</info> |
| </substep> |
| <substep><cmd>Select the type and name of project in which you want the Web |
| service client created. If you enter the name of an existing project, the |
| project type field must match that of the existing project. If you enter a |
| name of a project that does not already exist, the wizard will create the |
| project for you. Note that the only project type supported for Axis clients |
| is a Web project. If you want the client to be created in a <tm tmclass="special" |
| tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm>, EJB, |
| or Application Client project, you must select the <tm tmclass="ibm" tmowner="IBM Corporation" |
| tmtype="reg" trademark="WebSphere">WebSphere</tm> run-time environment for |
| your client.</cmd></substep> |
| </substeps> |
| </step> |
| <step><cmd>Web Services Skeleton <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." |
| tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> Bean Configuration page: Select the |
| folder where the generated <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." |
| tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> will be stored. If you want to review |
| or edit the mappings between packages and namespaces, select the <uicontrol>Define |
| custom mapping for namespace to package</uicontrol> check box. Click <uicontrol>Next</uicontrol>.</cmd> |
| </step> |
| <step><cmd>Web Service Namespace to Package Mappings page: if you selected |
| <uicontrol>Define custom mapping for package to namespace</uicontrol> on |
| the previous panel, you can enter your custom mapping pairs on this panel |
| by clicking <uicontrol>Add.</uicontrol> Click <uicontrol>Next</uicontrol>.</cmd> |
| </step> |
| <step><cmd>Web Service Test page: If you selected to test the Web service, |
| select the test facility for the generated Web service. This will open the |
| Web service in the Web Services Explorer. Select the operation you want to |
| test, enter the required information, and click <uicontrol>Go</uicontrol>. |
| The result will display in the Status pane. Click <uicontrol>Next</uicontrol>.</cmd> |
| </step> |
| <step><cmd>Web Service Proxy page: If you have selected to generate a proxy, |
| this page shows the options for the proxy. It lists the folder where the proxy |
| will be generated, and you can optionally create custom mappings between namespaces |
| and packages. Click <uicontrol>Next</uicontrol>.</cmd></step> |
| <step><cmd>Web Service Client Test page: Use this page to select the following |
| options: </cmd> |
| <substeps> |
| <substep><cmd>Select your test facility. You can test the generated proxy |
| in the Universal Test Client or the Web Service Explorer, or you can generate |
| a sample Web service JSP.</cmd></substep> |
| <substep><cmd>If you selected to test the proxy through a JSP, you can select |
| the folder where the JSP will be located, and you can select the methods that |
| will be included in the JSP.</cmd></substep> |
| <substep><cmd>Select <uicontrol>Run test on server</uicontrol> to start the |
| server for you automatically.</cmd></substep> |
| </substeps> |
| </step> |
| <step><cmd>Web Service Publication page: If you have selected to publish your |
| Web service to a UDDI registry, use this page to launch the Web Services Explorer |
| and select the UDDI registry to which the Web service will be published. Click |
| <uicontrol>Finish</uicontrol>.</cmd></step> |
| </steps> |
| <result>After the Web service has been created, the following may occur depending |
| on the options you selected: <ul> |
| <li>If you have selected to test the generated proxy using Web service JSPs, |
| the proxy is launched in a Web browser at the following URL: <codeph>http://localhost: <varname>port</varname>/ <varname>WebProject</varname>Client/sample<i |
| >BeanName</i>/<varname>WebServiceName</varname>/TestClient.jsp</codeph> You |
| can use this sample application to test the Web service by selecting a method, |
| entering a value for the method, and clicking <uicontrol>Invoke</uicontrol>. |
| The result of the method will display in the results pane.</li> |
| <li>If you have selected to test the generated proxy using the Universal Test |
| Client, it will be launched in a browser window at the following URL: <systemoutput>http://localhost:9080/UTC/preload?object= <varname>BeanPackage</varname |
| >. <varname>BeanServiceProxy</varname></systemoutput>. In the Reference pane, |
| under Object References, expand the proxy stub to display the methods of the |
| Web service. Click the method you want to test, enter a value in the Parameters |
| pane, and click <uicontrol>Invoke</uicontrol>. The result will be generated |
| below.</li> |
| <li>If you have selected to test the Web service using the Web Services Explorer, |
| the Explorer will open. Select the operation you want to test, enter the required |
| information, and click <b>Go</b>. The result will display in the Status pane.</li> |
| <li>If you have selected to publish the Web service, the Web Services Explorer |
| is launched displaying the page required to publish your Web service. Follow |
| the instructions in <varname>Publishing the Web service</varname> to complete |
| this task.</li> |
