Creating EclipseLink DBWS Services using the DBWSBuilder utility

The EclipseLink DBWS design-time utility DBWSBuilder is a Java application that processes an EclipseLink DBWS builder XML file to produce a deployable archive (typically a .war file) containing all the required deployment artifacts (WSDL, .xsd schema, web.xml, eclipselink-dbws-or.xml, etc). Typical .war file layout:

root of war file
   \---web-inf
   |
   |   web.xml
   |
   |   +---META-INF
   |   |       eclipselink-dbws.xml
   |   |       eclipselink-dbws-or.xml
   |   |       eclipselink-dbws-ox.xml
   |   |       eclipselink-dbws-sessions.xml
   |   |
   |   \---_dbws
   |           DBWSProvider.class            -- auto-generated JAX-WS 2.0 Provider
   |
   \---wsdl
           eclipselink-dbws-schema.xsd
           eclipselink-dbws.wsdl
           swaref.xsd                        -- optional

Please ensure that the following environment variables in the <ECLIPSELINK_HOME>\utils\dbws\setenv.cmd (or setenv.sh file) are set before invoking DBWSBuilder:

  • JAVA_HOME
  • DRIVER_CLASSPATH

There are script files provided for invoking DBWSBuilder. They are located in the <ECLIPSELINK_HOME>\utils\dbws directory. The scripts are dbwsbuilder.cmd for Windows use, and dbwsbuilder.sh for all other operating systems.

DBWSBuilder usage - [] indicates optional argument:
