To prepare to use Ant targets to deploy a web service on the Tomcat Web Server:
To create the web service or client files:
<target name="-pre-init">
<property name="j2ee.platform.wscompile.classpath" value="${libs.jaxrpc16.classpath}"/>
</target>To write Ant targets to deploy a web service on the Tomcat Web Server:
<target name="-pre-init">
<property name="j2ee.platform.wscompile.classpath" value="${libs.jaxrpc16.classpath}"/>
<property name="tomcat.home" value="full_path_to_$NB_USER_DIR/5.0/apache-tomcat-5.5.17_base"/>
</target>
The apache-tomcat-5.5.17_base folder is created only once the Tomcat Web Server has been started.
<target name="run-deploy" depends="init,compile,compile-jsps,-do-compile-single-jsp,dist">
<property name="raw.war.name" value="${dist.dir}/raw-${war.name}"/>
<copy file="${dist.war}" tofile="${raw.war.name}"/>
<delete file="${dist.war}"/>
<taskdef name="wsdeploy" classname="com.sun.xml.rpc.tools.ant.Wsdeploy" classpath="${wscompile.classpath}"/>
<wsdeploy
inWarFile="${raw.war.name}"
outWarFile="${dist.war}"
fork="true"
classpath="${wscompile.classpath}:${build.classes.dir.real}:${javac.classpath}"

<delete file="${raw.war.name}"/>
<copy file="${dist.war}" todir="${tomcat.home}/webapps"/>
</target>
<target name="run-display-browser" if="do.display.browser" depends="run-deploy">
<nbbrowse url="http://my-host:my-port-number/${ant.project.name}/${client.urlPart}"/>
</target>
Create an XML document in the WEB-INF folder. Call the XML document jaxrpc-ri. Add this content to jaxrpc-ri.xml and change mypackage.mysubpackage.myclassSEI to the fully qualified name of the SEI class and mypackage.mysubpackage.myclassImpl to the fully qualified name of the implementation class:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<webServices
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/dd"
version="1.0"
targetNamespaceBase="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/wsi/wsdl"
typeNamespaceBase="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/wsi/types"
urlPatternBase="/webservice">
<endpoint
name="MyTomcatWS"
displayName="TomcatService"
description="Tomcat Web Service endpoint"
interface="mypackage.mysubpackage.myclassSEI"
implementation="mypackage.mysubpackage.myclassImpl"/>
<endpointMapping
endpointName="MyTomcatWS"
urlPattern="/MyTomcatWS"/>
</webServices>
Now right-click the project node, choose Properties, select the Run pane, and type MyTomcatWS in Relative URL.
