494 Patterns: Extended Enterprise SOA and Web Services

This response is normal because our Web service does not use primitive types

as parameter. The test is only to prove operability at a basic level.

We have now implemented a Web service successfully using Microsoft Visual

Studio .NET 2003. The next section describes how to develop a test J2EE client

using IBM Rational Application Developer that will consume our .NET Web

service.

Implementing a test J2EE Client

This section describes the implementation of a test J2EE client using IBM

Rational Application Developer V6. We use it to prove interoperability between

the ManufacturerB .NET Web service (a target) and a Java-based client

(consumer). This section has the following sub-headings:

򐂰 B.2.6 "Creating a new Rational Application Developer project" on page 494

򐂰 B.2.7 "Importing the necessary WSDLs and XSDs" on page 495

򐂰 B.2.8 "Deploying and testing the J2EEClient" on page 497

B.2.6 Creating a new Rational Application Developer project

To create a new Web project in Rational Application Developer, perform the

following steps:

1. Start Rational Application Developer V6.

2. From the main application window, select File → New → Project.

3. From the New project window, accept the default selection of Dynamic Web

Project and click Next.

4. The application now prompts you to enter a project name. Enter J2EEClient,

as shown in Figure B-7, and click Finish. The application then begins building

the dynamic Web project through the use of a creation wizard.
