Deploying and Exporting SOAP and REST Web Services

The statements to deploy, redeploy and undeploy a Web service are the same for the REST and the SOAP Web services: DEPLOY WEBSERVICE, REDEPLOY WEBSERVICE and UNDEPLOY WEBSERVICE.

If you want to deploy the Service to an external J2EE Web container, execute the EXPORT WAR FROM WEBSERVICE statement to generate a war file containing the Web service specified in the WEBSERVICE parameter. The file name will be as specified in the NAME parameter.

To generate the WSDL file of a SOAP Web service, execute the EXPORT WSDL FROM WEBSERVICE statement. The output file name will be as specified in the NAME parameter.

Both the war and the wsdl files will be accessible in the <DENODO_HOME>/resources/apache-tomcat/webapps/export directory or in the URL http://localhost:9090/export.

Syntax of the DEPLOY, REDEPLOY, UNDEPLOY, EXPORT WAR and EXPORT WSDL statement
DEPLOY WEBSERVICE <name:identifier>
[
    LOGIN = <literal>
    PASSWORD = <literal> [ ENCRYPTED ]
]

REDEPLOY WEBSERVICE <name:identifier>
[
    LOGIN = <literal>
    PASSWORD = <literal> [ ENCRYPTED ] ]

UNDEPLOY [IF EXISTS] WEBSERVICE <name:identifier>

EXPORT WAR FROM WEBSERVICE <name:identifier>
    NAME = <name:literal>
    URI = <literal>
    LOGIN = <literal>
    PASSWORD = <literal> [ ENCRYPTED ]
    [ SAMLBASEURL = <SAML 2.0 base URL:literal> ]

EXPORT WSDL FROM WEBSERVICE <name:identifier>
    NAME = <name:literal>

The parameters LOGIN and PASSWORD are the credentials that the

Web service will use to open a connection to the Virtual DataPort server and execute queries.

In the statement DEPLOY WEBSERVICE, if the parameters LOGIN and PASSWORD are not present, the Web service will use the credentials of the user that executes this statement.

In the statement REDEPLOY WEBSERVICE, if the parameters LOGIN and PASSWORD are not present, the Web service will use the same credentials that it was originally deployed with. For example, if the service was deployed by the user “scott” and then, the user “bruce” executes REDEPLOY WEBSERVICE without adding the LOGIN and PASSWORD parameters, the service will still use the credentials of the user “scott”.

The credentials used by the Web service are stored in its own configuration file. So, if the user used by the Web service is deleted or its password changes, you have to redeploy the Web service.
