Deployment descriptor options for services

This topic describes the options you must set in the EGL deployment descriptor file to deploy a Web service.
When you select a Service part to be generated as a Web service, the Web Service Deployment page of the EGL Deployment Descriptor editor prompts you for the following options:
Implementation
The Service part to generate as a Web service.
Generate
Whether to generate the Web service access layer for the service when you generate the deployment descriptor. You must generate the Web service access layer at least once so EGL will create the code necessary for clients to access the service, but once you have generated that code, you do not need to generate it again unless you change the other fields. Generating the Web service access layer can be time-consuming, so you may want to clear this check box to save time.
Style
The method through which the service and client will assemble the SOAP messages that they use to communicate with each other. Use document-wrapped (the default) unless the clients require rpc.

If you are generating the service to iSeries® using the JAVA400 protocol, you can select a shared protocol from the Protocol list. The shared protocols are specified on the Service Client Bindings page of the EGL deployment descriptor editor.
