If you plan to create a Web service that uses WebSphere® Application
Server as its server, the required version of WebSphere Application Server must be installed
and a server created before you begin creating your Web service.
By default Rational® Developer products create a WebSphere v6 server
for you automatically when you open a workspace. You can use this server or
create a new one.
To create a WebSphere server:
- From the File menu, select New > Other > Server > Server
> Next.
- Select WebSphere Application Server v 5.x or v6.0 as the server
type, electing the correct version of WebSphere for your install, and click Next.
- On the WebSphere server settings page enter a server name.
- Click Finish. To see the
server you have created in the workspace, from the Window menu select Show
view > Other > Server > Servers > Ok.
To build a dynamic Web project that points to the WebSphere server
that you have created:
- Create the service Web project by selecting New > Web > Dynamic
Web project. Enter the following information:
- Web Project: enter a project name
- Servlet version: 2.4
- Target Server: WebSphere Application Server 5.x or 6.0 depending on the
version you installed
- Ensure that Add Module to an EAR module is selected.
The EAR will be generated by the New project wizard.
- Click Finish.
- To associate the project with the server, right-click the WebSphere server
you created in the Server view and select Add and remove projects.
Select the service and client projects from the Available projects list and
click Add.
- Start the server by right-clicking it and selecting Start.
