If a Web service or Web service client has been created with the IBM
® WebSphere runtime
environments, deployment information is generated into the project. In case
of a Web service,
webservices.xml is generated. In the case
of a Web service client, what is generated depends on the J2EE level of the
project. If the project has a J2EE level of 1.3,
webservicesclient.xml will
be generated. If the project has a J2EE level of 1.4, modifications will be
made to the existing deployment descriptor for that project. For example,
in the case of a Web project, Web service client deployment information will
be added to
web.xml.
webservices.xml and
webservicesclient.xml can
be edited with the Web Services Editor, and the Web Services Client Editor
respectively. You can also edit the settings contained in the binding (
ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi and
ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi) and extensions (
ibm-webservices-ext.xmi and
ibm-webservicesclient-ext.xmi)
files using the editor, by selecting the following pages within the editor
as appropriate:
- ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi: Bindings, Binding Configurations pages
- ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi: Web Services Client Binding, Port Binding
pages
- ibm-webservices-ext.xmi: Security Extensions page
- ibm-webservicesclient-ext.xmi: Security Extensions page
In the case of a Web service client in a J2EE 1.4 project, the References
and WS Handler pages of the editor for the project's existing deployment descriptor
can be used. The extension and binding settings can be edited using the WS
Extension and WS Binding pages respectively.
