QUESTION POSED ON: 30 September 2002
I was successful in creating a custom bean array Web service with jwsdp's JAX-RPC implementation and I am running it on my machine. I want to deploy my service on Websphere 4.0 but I can't quite figure out how to package my service and complete the deployment.
I understand that I'm supposed to package my classes into a war file and subsequently into an ear and then utilize the supplied SoapEarEnabler utility provided with Websphere. My problem is that I can't figure out how to package my wsdl within my Web resource and/or application resource files. There seems to be no mention of it in Websphere's documentation. Also, a WSDD is required. I've seen some documentation on WSDDs but I don't quite understand how they are utilized and how they are similar/different to WSDL?
Also, as I mentioned, I developed my JAX-RPC Service with Sun's jwsdp and in a post you have on this Web site you note a clear difference to this AXIS(Websphere's WS Enabler)? What are the differences and how is the deployment to/through axis different? From what I've briefly read, AXIS seems as if it is required to enable/deploy your WS but I was able to deploy my Service through jwsdp without it? As you can see, I'm needing a little clarification.
In my opinion, I've seen very few good sources of documentation on the majority of this subject. All sources seem to refer to canned/out of the box examples (aka straight from WSAD) and as I'm sure you're aware, that's very rarely the case. The advice/direction I've heard and read from you seems to be good prcatical advice.
Thanks so much for your previous advice, hopefully you can help me here.
