Development teams can use IBM Software and the Siebel Web UI DDK V7.8 to develop service-oriented architecture based composite applications. These Web applications can include data and functionality from multiple applications accessed through a single user interface. Siebel developers use the Web UI DDK to generate Java artifacts that access Siebel data. Java developers, using IBM IDE's, incorporate these artifacts into their Web applications. This article explains how you can use IBM® WebSphere® Studio Application Developer V5.1.2 or Rational® Application Developer V6.0 to test and deploy Java artifacts, which were created using the Web UI DDK, to run in a portal under IBM WebSphere Portal V5.x. Part 1 of this series described how to run the artifacts in a Web (non-portal) application.
- Differentiate the Siebel developer role from the Java developer role when developing a composite application
- Prepare the DDK artifacts for the portal environment
- Generate the Java proxy files
- Test the artifacts in a portlet in either WebSphere Studio Application Developer or Rational Application Developer
- Deploy the artifacts to WebSphere Portal Server 5.x
This article is the second in a two-part series on the deployment of Web UI DDK artifacts. The first article is for Web application developers and application integrators who want to deploy Siebel DDK artifacts as a Web application. The reader should be comfortable using either WebSphere Studio or Rational Application Developer. This second article is for primarily for portlet developers who are have at least some minimal experience with creating and deploying portlets for WebSphere Portal.
The Web UI DDK is a Web services-based solution, which consists of a set of interfaces that enable access to Siebel data. The interfaces include a wizard, which guides the Siebel application developer through the creation of object definitions in the Siebel Object Repository. It then generates a quick-start kit, including Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) files, sample JSP pages, Siebel View data, and other Java artifacts. A Java application developer can use these artifacts to render a custom user interface.
Developers can simply modify the sample code generated by the Web UI DDK wizard instead of developing from scratch; therefore, they get a jump-start on their development work. The can use either WebSphere Studio or Rational Application Developer features to convert and test the generated DDK artifacts as Web or portlet applications. When they are satisfied, they can deploy the converted Web application to WebSphere Application Server, or the portlet to a portal application running under WebSphere Portal.
