The Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP) is a free integrated toolkit you can use to build, test and deploy XML applications, web services, and web applications with the latest web service technologies and standards implementations. With the newest release of the Java WSDP 1.6 9JWSDP 1.6), you can do the following:

The instructions below explain how to set up JWSDP 1.6. JWSDP 1.6 assumes that you have a web container installed. For Tomcat, the JWSDP-compliant web container is called 'Tomcat 5.0 for Java WSDP 1.6'. It is based upon Tomcat 5.0.19. Therefore, if you need to use a higher version of the Tomcat Web Server, you cannot use JWSDP 1.6. Instead, you should use the Ant scrpts and the procedure described in Writing Ant Targets for Web Services on the Tomcat Web Server.
tip  The bundled Tomcat Web Server's version number is 5.5.17. Therefore, the bundled Tomcat Web Server is not a suitable web container for JWSDP 1.6.

To use web services with JWSDP 1.6:

  1. Download and install Tomcat 5.0 for Java WSDP 1.6:

  2. Download JWSDP 1.6:

  3. When you install JWSDP 1.6, make sure that you select Tomcat 5.0 for Java WSDP 1.6 as your web container.
  4. Register the Tomcat Web Server. In the Server Manager's Add Server Instance panel, select Tomcat 5.0 in the Server drop-down list.
  5. Create the web service or consume it.
    tip  When you create a web service client in the New Web Service Client wizard, make sure to select IDE-generated static stub in the Client Type drop-down list.
