Deploying web services
Deploying a web service involves creating the code that makes your web service available
to others. You can deploy a project, an EAR file, or an application client. If you created a web
service by using the web services wizards, the deployment code is generated
automatically.
Generating JAX-WS deployment descriptors
By default, the deployment information for JAX-WS web services that are deployed to WebSphere® Application Server is generated at run time by the server. However, static deployment descriptors for the web service and client can be generated and modified.
Deploying a web service to a server using the command line tools
After you create an EAR file by using a web services command-line tool, you can deploy the EAR file to a server to create the code that makes your service available to others.
Creating web service router modules
The Create Router Modules wizard enables a set of web services within an Enterprise Application Archive (EAR) file. For each web service-enabled EJB JAR file in the EAR file, it adds an HTTP router, a JMS router, or both to the EAR. Each router module provides a web service endpoint for a particular transport. For example, an HTTP router module can be added so that the web service can receive requests over the HTTP transport, and a JMS router module can be added so that the web service can receive requests from a JMS queue or topic. The Create Router Modules wizard was formerly known as the Endpoint Enabler.
