Producing a Web service
PowerBuilder
provides tools for developing custom class (nonvisual) user objects
and deploying them as EAServer components.
You can deploy the component to an EAServer host
running on Windows and UNIX operating systems. You generate a Java
bean for the component using Jaguar Manager.
Using EAServer’s Web
Services Toolkit, you can generate a WSDL file for the EAServer component, describing your
Web service and its location. You also create a client proxy for
the Web service, accessible to a client application. The client
proxy uses the WSDL document that describes your Web service/EAServer component. The client application
can then use the Web service. For more information see the EAServer Programmer’s
Guide
and the EAServer Web
Services Toolkit User’s Guide
