Prior to deploying the QMF for WebSphere web service under WAS version 4, you should install the open source Apache Axis application to enable the required SOAP support in WAS. Information about downloading, installing, and configuring Axis is available at http://ws.apache.org/axis. You must perform the following steps after downloading and installing Axis:
Use the following steps to package the Axis web application files with the QMF for WebSphere web service files:
jar xf axis.war *.*This will create the axis.war web application file.
After creating the Axis enterprise application archive (axis.ear), you must deploy it in WebSphere. The steps used to deploy this application are essentially the same as those previously described for deploying the QMF for WebSphere application, except deploying axis.ear instead of QMFWebSphere.ear.
After the Axis application is deployed, you must use the Axis AdminClient tool to register the QMF for WebSphere web service with it. For example, use the following command:
java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient -1http://host:port/axis/services/AdminService QMFWebSphere.wsdd
where host is the host name of the WAS server and port is the port on which the Axis application is configured to listen (9080, by default).
After installation, the QMF for WebSphere web service can be accessed by client applications using the following URL:
http://host:port/axis/services/QMFService
where host is the host name of the WAS server machine and port is the port WAS uses for web services (by default, 6080).
For web service client applications, a web service description file (WSDL) named QMFWebSphere.wsdl is included with the QMF for WebSphere files that describes the QMFService web service.
