Before you can deploy your Web services application, you must assemble (or package) the application. If you are using a development tool such as WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries, the tool automatically performs much of the assembly process for you. You need only specify any necessary assembly properties. You can then export your application EAR file for deployment. See your product documentation for more information.
You can also manually assemble your Web services application with command-line tools.
See the following topics for information about packaging your Web services application into a WAR or JAR file:
Web services assembly properties (Version 5.0.2 or later)
See this topic for a list of assembly properties for Web services applications.Assemble a WAR file for your Web services application (Version 5.0.2 or later)
This topic describes how to package your Web services application into a Web archive (WAR) file. If you are using a development tool, such as WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries, that automatically creates a WAR file for you, you can skip this step.Assemble a Web services client (Version 5.0.2 or later)
This topic describes how to assemble your Web services client application.
Use the WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries (or other development tool) to assemble the Web services-enabled WAR file into an EAR file. The EAR file can contain Web applications (WAR files) and metadata that describes the applications (application.xml files).
