Chapter 10 – Developing data web services
Data web services significantly eases the development, deployment, and management of
web services-based access to DB2 and Informix database servers. Data web services
provides a tools and runtime framework that makes it easy to create web services based
on database operations, like SQL statements and stored procedure calls, using a simple
drag and drop action. All web service artifacts are generated by Data Studio. The
generated web services can be directly deployed to an application server and tested with
the built-in Web Services Explorer.
In this chapter, after an overview of the data web services capabilities, you will learn a
basic scenario for end-to-end development of a data web service including:
How to install the WAS CE server adapter that is used by Data Studio to connect to a
WAS CE instance.
How to create a new data web service in a data development project using existing
SQL stored procedures and SQL scripts to provide the business logic.
How to deploy the web service to WAS CE.
How to use the Web Services Explorer to test the data web service..
Note:
Appendix E contains information that can help you with different situations, such as options
for consuming web services using different clients, customizing the messages, and much
more.
