Generate and Deploy a JSP Client

Provides you with instructions that guide you through the process of generating a JSP client for the AccessBooks Java interface, and deploying it to your JBoss application server.

You generate a JSP client from the service interface file that contains your defined operations, and use this generated client to access the deployed Java interface. For an EJB to access a COBOL service running on an enterprise server, you must have the EJB and a Micro Focus resource adapter running on an application server.

Generate a JSP client

Enterprise Developer requires that client applications running on UNIX systems are built using the Single Executable File target type. When the main project uses a target type other than Single Executable File as does the ProgramEJB project (which uses the All Native Library Files target type), you must generate the client applications into a separate project.

From the Eclipse IDE, open the COBOL perspective as follows:
1. Click Open Perspective .
2. On the Open Perspective dialog box, select COBOL, and then click Open.
From the COBOL Explorer, right-click the AccessBooks Java Service; then select Generate Client from the context menu.
The Console tells you when the client has generated successfully.

Note: If the Console is not visible:

Click the Console tab.
On the icon bar, click the down arrow associated with Display Selected Console .
Click Service Interfaces Console.

Deploy the JSP client and resource adapter to JBoss

Before you can run your JSP client, you must first deploy the resource adapter to JBoss.

From the Files window or at a terminal, copy the AccessBooks.ear file, located in your project's repos/AccessBooks.deploy directory, to the $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments directory.
Copy the mfcobol-notx.rar resource adapter file from the $COBDIR/javaee/javaee7/jboss-dir directory, where jboss-dir represents the directory name for your installed version of JBoss, to your $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments directory.
