2. To create Web Services for an EJB access bean, select Create EJB 1.1 Integration

Object Support. This creates all necessary support files. See Figure 6-84 on page 213.

3. When you finish creating IOs, use Application Integrator to package the IOs or EJB access

beans into an EAR file and import a WAR or EAR file into WebSphere Studio Application

Developer. See 6.9, “Application Integrator Advanced” on page 235. Before you export it to

WebSphere Studio Application Developer, test your IOs with your WebSphere

Applications Server.

6.8.6 Creating Web Services in WebSphere Studio Application Developer with

Host Publisher Web Services support

This section explains how to create Web Services in WebSphere Studio Application

Developer V4.0.3 with Host Publisher Web Services Support function.

The basic steps include:

1. “Starting Host Publisher Server in WebSphere Studio Application Developer” on page 215

2. “Importing the EAR file containing IOs or EJB access beans” on page 222

3. “Creating Web Services for IOs and EJB access beans” on page 226

4. “Running the Web Services sample generated by WebSphere Studio Application

Developer” on page 230

5. “Deploying the completed application to WebSphere Advanced Edition or Advanced

Single Server Edition” on page 233

Starting Host Publisher Server in WebSphere Studio Application

Developer

Use the sample code for starting and stopping Host Publisher Server to create servlets that

start and stop Host Publisher Server:

1. Start the WebSphere Studio Application Developer. Click Start-> Programs-> IBM

WebSphere Studio-> IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer.

2. Select Web Project to create it (Figure 6-86). Click Next.

3. Name the new project, for example HPRTE.

4. On the Define Java Build Settings window (Figure 6-87), click the Add External JARs

button.

Figure 6-87 Defining the Java Build Settings

5. On the JAR Selection window (Figure 6-88), select the external JAR files (highlighted in

the example) that contain the classes that Host Publisher Server requires from the

C:\HostPub\Common directory so that the code will compile. Click Open.

6. Import the servlet code for starting and stopping Server into Web Project. Update the code

to match your server installation. On the File system window (Figure 6-89), select the Start

and Stop programs (StartHPRTE.java and StopHPRTE.java) to import them from the

C:\HostPub\SDK\Server directory to your new project. Click Finish.

Figure 6-89 Importing the Start and Stop programs

7. Update the code that starts Host Publisher Server to match your Host Publisher

installation in the Application Developer window (Figure 6-90):

a. Double-click the StartHPRTE.java source code.

b. Search for the HP_INSTALL_DIR variable and update it to match your Host Publisher

Studio installation directory.

c. Save it.

8. Run the servlet. WebSphere Studio Application Developer creates an internal WebSphere

server instance. Execution of the servlet fails because WebSphere cannot access the

classes that Host Publisher Server requires.

a. In the Navigator panel, select the StartHPRTE program, right-click, and select Run on

Server (Figure 6-91).
