Adding web-service deployment details to the EGL deployment descriptor

You can update the EGL deployment descriptor with details that are needed to deploy SOAP and EGL REST-RPC services.

Before you can perform this task you need to have access to an EGL deployment descriptor. An EGL deployment descriptor is created when you create an EGL project.
To add web service deployment details, do as follows:
  1. Open the EGL Deployment Descriptor editor by double-clicking the name of an EGL deployment descriptor in the EGLSource folder. For details about creating the file, see "Creating an EGL deployment descriptor."
  2. Click Service Deployment. The Web Service Deployment tab is displayed.
  3. Click Add. The Add Web Services window opens.
  4. Select or clear the check boxes that indicate whether to deploy a SOAP service, an EGL REST-RPC service, or both.
  5. Add one or more Service parts from the EGL service parts found list to the EGL service parts to be generated as web services list. You can do this in any of the following ways:
    • Type the beginning of a name into the Locate EGL Service Parts field. Specifically, type the beginning of the package name (if any) or the beginning of the Service part name (if the part is in the default package). You can use the following wildcard characters: a question mark (?) to accept one character of any kind, or an asterisk (*) to accept a series of characters of any kind.
    • Select a service name in the EGL service parts found list by clicking the name. To select multiple names, press the Ctrl key and click the names. To select a contiguous set of names, click a name, press the Shift key, and click the last name of interest. Then click Add.
    • Select all of the listed Service parts by clicking Add all.
    To remove one or more Service parts from the EGL service parts to be generated as web services list and move the selected names back to the EGL service parts found, select the names as described in the second choice for adding parts and click Remove. To move all of the names back to that list, click Remove All.
  6. When the list of Service parts in the EGL service parts to be generated as web services list reflects your intent, click Finish. The Web Service Deployment tab is available again, with an entry for each Service part being deployed.
  7. To change the output type for a given Service part, click an entry in the Services Deployment grid, in the Generate column, and make a different selection.
  8. To change values for a given Service part, click an entry in the Services Deployment grid. In the URI field, you can specify the low-level qualifier for the address to be used to access the REST service. In most cases, it is recommended that you accept the default.
