In RAD v6.0 there are also temporary/temp copies of the existing deployment descriptor files: In the case of the Web services deployment descriptors and their IBM extensions: webservices.xml, ibm-web services-bnd.xmi, ibm-webservices.xmi, webservicesclient.xml, ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi, ibm-web servicesclient-ext.xmi, some of the Web services wizard commands will not work with such files being Read-only files. This can prevent the Web services generation from completing.įiles checked into ClearCase are read-only and should be checked-out from ClearCase before regenerating or redeploying a Web service/client, or add the files to the ignored resources list in the case of temp files. If these files already exist in ClearCase, the RAD Web service tools may complain that these files do not have write permission, only read permission. When generating the web service, RAD with Rational ClearCase® wants to check-in ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi as well as a few other related Web services Deployment Descriptor files.
When a Web services project is managed with Rational ClearCase, certain files may be marked as Read-only.The workaround of deleting all of the existing Web service items in a project and thus cleanly regenerating a Web service helps to resolve many problem scenarios, when you are uncertain of what has accumulated in a project and is resulting in a nonfunctional Web service. The way to delete the existing Web services generated artifacts and to regenerate the Web services cleanly is discussed in technote 1238597: Deletion of a Web Service or of Web services from a project and regeneration.The following topics can be useful to Web services developers.

Especially relevant to Part 1 is the background article on WSDL SOAP style bindings such as document/literal wrapped:īack to top Issues involving Web services code generation in RAD They provide a very good explanation of IBM WebSphere® runtime and other options in the RAD v6.0 and v7.0 Web Services Preferences page.
When wsdl2java is invoked in development mode, it will generate skeletal deployment descriptors (JAX-RPC mapping file, webservices.xml, webservicesclient.xml, as well as Web, EJB and Application Client deployment descriptors, ibm-webservices*.xmi) along with development time Java artifacts. There is a distinction between development and deployment artifacts. It is important to clarify what is meant by Deploy. These files and any generated Web services development code do get regenerated every time in the wizards. Web Services deployment descriptor files like ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi and webservices.xml are generated by our WSDL2java invocation in the RAD wizard so it should be treated the same as any other development code. Deploy does not generate all the files that the Web services wizard does during a complete regeneration. Files are regenerated when you re-generate the Web service using the wizards or do a Deploy.
