Developing JAX-RS 1.1 RESTful Services in Rational Software Architect V8 for deployment to WebSphere Application Server V8

Create the JAX-RS 1.1 REST service and Java EE modules

1. In the Java EE perspective select File > New > Dynamic Web Project.
2. In the Dynamic Web Project dialog, enter LegacyBankAppWeb as the project name.
3. In the Target runtime drop-down menu, select WebSphere Application Server V8.0.
4. In the Configuration drop-down menu, select IBM JAX-RS Configuration.
5. In the EAR project name drop-down menu, enter LegacyBankAppEAR as the EAR Project to deploy the newly created Web Module and click Next (Figure 28).

9. If prompted to Open the Associated Perspective (i.e. Web Perspective) click No.
10. In the Enterprise Explorer View, expand the LegacyBankAppEAR project, right click on the LegacyBankAppEAR > LegacyBankAppEAR > Utility JARs and select Modify.
11. In the Properties for LegacyBankAppEAR window, click on Deployment Assembly and in the EAR Module Assembly pane, click Add (Figure 32).

16. In the Enterprise Explorer view, right click on the LegacyBankAppWeb project and select Build Path > Configure Build Path….
17. In the Properties for LegacyBankAppWeb window, click on Projects tab and then click on Add (Figure 37).
    
    Figure 37. LegacyBankAppWeb Java Build Path
    
    
    
18. In the Required Project Selection dialog, select the LegacyBankAppWrapperService project and click OK (Figure 38).
    
    Figure 38. LegacyBankAppWeb Java Build Path Select Projects dialog
    
    
    
19. The Java Build Path should now include the LegacyBankAppWrapperService project as shown in Figure 39.
