Why isn't webservices.xml covered in tutorial or here

According to JSR 109, Section 7.1.1:
The webservices.xml deployment descriptor file defines the set of Web services that are to be deployed in a Web Services for J2EE enabled container.
And yet, no mention of this file appears in the JAX-RPC secton of the tutorial, and only two references to the file appear in a search of this forum. The only reference to thie file in the 2004Q4 Developers Guide on docs.sun.com is not providing any information about its use in 2004Q4 J2EE.
Why isn't it part of the tutorial content?
What takes its place?
If I provide one, will Sun's J2EE container honor it?

John

So are these my choices for building a war file that includes webservices.xml for deployment?
1) use deploytool
2) use wsdeploy
3) use pre-written webservices.xml in ant-based deploymentYour choices are 1 & 3. Many of our users don't like deploytool, but it is a good way of generating deployment descriptors. wsdeploy doesn't generate webservices.xml.
Third, If the documentation for sun's appserv ant
tasks contains information on how to make use of the
pre-written webservices.xml files, I could'nt find it.
I searched for the string 'webservices.xml'. Do you
have a link to where I can read about this?This is undocumented, but if you understand Ant tasks, you can fairly easily modify the tasks included in the J2EE 1.4 Tutorial. Specifically, look at the build files for <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/jaxrpc/helloservice/.
I saw jaxrpc-ri.xml in the JWSDP sample war. wsdeploy
in 2004Q04 needs it too. Running wsdeploy on an input
war file that does not include 'jaxrpc-ri.xml' results
in this error for me:
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/tmp/jaxrpc-deploy-71fe97/WEB-INF/jaxrpc-ri.xml (No
such file or directory)
wsdeploy does not complain that webservices.xml is
missing from the input war. This behavior of wsdeploy
started my suspicion that 2004Q04 does not honor
webservices.xml. Lack of mention of the
webservice.xml in documentation doesn't allay my
concern.These tools (wscompile/wsdeploy) were originally for the JWSDP and are distributed with the Application Server, but that doesn't mean the Application Server doesn't support webservices.xml. You can create a WAR file using deploytool, rather than wscompile/wsdeploy, that a) doesn't contain jaxrpc-ri.xml, b) does contain webservices.xml, and c) deploys and runs on 2004Q4.
The J2EE platform specifications require 2004Q4 to honor webservices.xml. JWSDP is not a J2EE server, and instead uses its own deployment descriptor. I agree with you that this is confusing, and I hope it will be addressed in future releases of the JWSDP and/or Application Server.

  • Why isn't Greece navigation covered by the tom tom Europe app

    I have the tomtom Europe map on my ipod touch and although a number of countries are available, Greece isn't one of them and as it is definitely in Europe how do I get this added?

    The updates are pushed out via iTunes, as is all content for iOS devices.  The app developer is still the one responsible for providing the updated content to Apple.  Apple does nothing more than allow the content to be placed in the store, and then make it accessible to iOS users.
    Seems TomTom's folks just messed up the iOS update release?

  • Why isn't my last import saving? I can import the pictures from the memory card, but if I close out iPhoto the just "imported photos" are nowhere to be found.  Please help

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
    If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
    2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
    4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

  • After I hit submit, why isn't it compressing?

    I'm new to Compressor. I created "settings" and a "destination" for my project, then I hit submit. The file appears in the history window but it seems to be inactive. Why isn't it compressing?

    I had the same problem, I'm using compressor without problems for a few years now, I re-installed the full Final Cut Studio set of discs and compressor is working ok again.

  • I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iphone5.  Can't do it, except for 1 at a time.  I can't even connect it to my PC and delete them from my computer.  Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

    I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iPhone 5.  I have googled it several times and there doesn't seem to be a solution.  Have tried deleting them from my PC. One at a time deleting is impractical - I have 1000 photos!  Why isn't this easy and intuitive?

    When you hooked up to your PC did they attempt to import? Had you imported them previously and not deleted when the import was complete?
    If you have to delete them directly on your device, you need to press the select button and just keep selecting until you have all of them selected, then put them in the trash.
    You do not need to select one then trash it, then select another then trash it. You can select as many as you like before clicking on the trash icon.

  • Why isn't my iPad 2 giving me alerts for my all-day events?

    Why isn't my iPad 2 giving me alerts for my all-day events?  I have alerts set-up for 2 days prior.  My alerts work for other calendar entries where they are set-up for 15mins prior.

    The laptop has a more powerful wifi radio then the iPad. Try getting closer to the location where iPad can connect.

  • I have windows vista home premium and all other versions of iTunes worked on my laptop iTunes 10 won't work, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my browser configuration?

    I have windows vista home premium and all other iTunes worked on my laptop, I downloaded iTunes 10 and now the iTunes will not connect to the Internet. I use Mozilla firefox on my laptop and for some reason it keeps saying the connection timed out and I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my web configuration?

    It probably has to do with your security and/or browser configuration.
    When my laptop crashed last year and I had to get a new one, I dealt with the same thing. First, go to your control panel and select the security section. See if your firewalls are up or not. If they are, turn them off. If you have any software to speed up your browser, that can affect the connection as well. Go into that software and disble/turn it off. If this doesn't work, contact customer support. They have a few other tricks they had me try that worked, but I can't remember them now.

  • Why isn't "Find My iPad" automatically enabled on the device when purchased? Why is it a feature that is OFF and has to be turned ON instead of the other way around? I didn't know it needed to be enabled and now it's stolen and I can't locate it

    Why isn't the "Find My iPad", "Find My Mac", etc. feature not automatically enabled in the iCloud Settings on every device? My iPad was stolen a couple days ago and it's been showing Offline under "Find My iPhone" feature so I started doing some research. Come to find out "Find My iPad" has to be enabled under the PRIVACY button in SETTINGS. I never knew that!!! That feature is highly needed for Apple products so can some explain why it's not already enabled on every device and actually has to be turned ON from the OFF position and not the other way around? Now some lucky person has stolen my iPad and I can't locate it because Apple wanted to give me the choice to enable it once it was already ******* stolen!

    Simply stated that is design. If you want to suggest a change, there is a feedback section elsewhere on this site.
