Develop a Webservice

[Former Member]

There are many blogs describing how to configure XI to sommunicate with Webservices but so far I have seen none that talk of Developing and Deploying a webservice on XI.

Could someone point me in the direction of a blog or let me know the necessary steps for developing a webservice and the deploying it on XI...

What software can I use... is there any available for free... I would be interested to use the software that Siva Maranani shows in his blog... does anyone know the name of it?

Ricardo,

For creating the webservice he has used Netweaver Developer Studio. You can download this from Market place. Then you build the jar or ear files using the blog. Then you give this to your Basis guys so that they will deploy this webservice in J2EE. They will deploy using SDM which is in Visual Administrator. Once they deploy, then you can get the WSDL as shown in the weblog and get going. Complete all the steps given in the weblog and activate.

For testing the web service he has used XML SPY. This you will get free download from net. Download this and test your webservice.

For testing you can use XML SPY or STYLUS STUDIO or MindReef SOAP Scope. This all are free downloads.
