IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management, Version 11.3
Generating a Java API
and web service
Create API and SOAP web service with the Enterprise Services
Generator.
About this task
The Enterprise Services Generator is a wizard
that generates, compiles, and packages the API into a ready-to-use
.JAR file and .WAR file.
Running the generation utility
The API and web service generation utility is run from InfoSphere MDM
Workbench.
Details about the configuration and algorithms are retrieved from
the project, not from the Hub(s) associated with that project. Deploy
the configuration prior to generating the Java API so that the Hub and generated API code
are in sync.
Access the Javadocs
The Javadoc Information is generated based on your specific
Hub configuration metadata.
Extending the ESOA API
The generated ESOA Java API
and web services API can be extended to provide custom logic to any
part of the API.
Next steps
Use the Java API
to write your applications or else deploy the web service and create
any custom applications.
