About this task
You can add router modules to your application that is enabled for web services with either the endptEnabler command-line tool or with assembly tools provided with WebSphere® Application Server. The tool that you choose to use for this task depends on your preference to work with a command-line tool or a graphical user interface. See the assembly tools documentation to learn how to use assembly tool to accomplish this task.
These tools add one or more router modules to the EAR file for each web service-enabled enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) module contained in the EAR file. A router module provides an endpoint for the web service in a particular EJB module.

Each router module supports a specific transport such as HTTP or Java™ Message Service (JMS). If no enterprise bean JAR modules are located in the EAR file, it is not necessary to use these tools.
