Creating and deploying web services
You can create a web service based on any object structure service, standard service, or enterprise service that is defined for the system. You then deploy the web service to the product web service container or to the application web service container .
Creating a web service
When you create a web service, an external system can send web-based messages and queries to the associated service without configuring additional communication protocols or services.
Deploying a web service to the product web service container
After you create a web service, you must deploy it before it can start processing XML messages. When you deploy a web service to the product web service container, the deployment process occurs automatically and does not require a server restart.
Deploying a web service to the application server web service container
A deployment file is generated when you deploy a web service to the application server web service container. You must rebuild the Maximo EAR file to include the deployment file and restart the application server to activate the web service.
Updating schema information
If you change the data structure of an integration service, update the schema information to the WSDL file to update the web service. If you do not regenerate the schema, the schema used by the web service can differ from the structure defined for the associated integration service.
