Integrating Blaze Advisor Application with a J2EE based application using Web services

Hi Raghav,

Blaze Advisor quick deployer supports the deployment of web services. You can use the default generator to generate web service code specific to supported application servers like weblogic..alike. You can use the WSDL and call the service from calling application by passing valid data through SOAP Envelope. 

Thanks for the information provided but I need to evaluate the various deployment options available in blaze and then recommend the best option to integrate with the J2EE application.Can you please provide me some pointers or the steps involved in various options which are used to integration blaze with J2EE application. More specifically the client is interested to know the Web service inetrgation in detail with the steps.

Please provide your help.

regards,

Raghav

The different deployment options provided in Blaze are :

Java:  Normal Java Bean deployment

  EJB deployment(stateless, stateful)

  MDB 

  Webservices

Coming to the webservices deployment which you are more interested in, Blaze quick deployer supports different application servers like weblogic 8.1,9.1 and 9.2,OC4J,websphere 6 and 6.1 and few others. The deployable code with minimal changes is generated by quich deployer along with a html readme file which explains in detail about the steps for deploying the code generated. You need to follow the steps provided by the deployer so that you will be successful.

Invoking the deployed service from J2EE calling application is same as any other web service call using the WSDL.

Create a Soap envelope with input data for the service, use the WSDL to identify where the service is running.

Call the service. 

Thanks Harsh for the input. One more query I have is will the blaze quick deployer help me in generating the WSDL files which are required for passing the inputs or we have to use some 3rd party toll for it. Also the clients requirement is to deploy the application in JBOSS Appln server, so is it possible to do it with 6.5 version.

Hi,

Blaze has support for JBOSS 4 and quick deployer generates few batch files which can be used to create .wsdl file for the service. The batch file internally use some command line tools provided by JBOSS.

 Harsh I really appreciate your support and help ;so I want one more favour as if u can list down the steps which I have to follow inorder to get the WSDL starting from the deployment. As in if you can list down each steps by mentiong what exactly needs to be selected in Blaze advisor tool till I get a WSDL file. As Iam very new to this tool so I want your help in accomplishing the task.

Would really appreciate your help.

It is not that easy to list down all the steps as the list goes long and long.

I suggest you to look at the documentation which comes along with BA product, which explain the steps to be followed for deploying the service using Quick Deployer. If you have any doubts or struck up with something you can post it so that I can guide you. 

Hi,

I am able to deploy the webservice and is able to get the correct WSDL in the browser. Here my query what are the different significance of the different files i.e. Client.java,IF.java,Runner.java,Bean.java and other Home,remote and business interfaces.

Ravina,

If you look in the directory you deployed to, you will see a file called DeploymentDocumentation.html and it describes all the files that are generated (different files are generated based on the deployment options you choose in the quick deployer wizard and the Deployment Documentation generated is also specific to these choices); it also describes what steps you need to take to integrate these into your environment.
