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.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.
Restriction: This topic applies to Windows environments only.

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

  • From COBOL Explorer, right-click the AccessBooks Java interface; then click Generate Client.

    The Console tells you when the client has generated successfully.

Note: If the Console is not visible:
  1. Click the Console tab.
  2. On the icon bar, click the down arrow associated with Display Selected Console Display Selected Console.
  3. 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.

  1. From the Windows File Explorer or at a command prompt, copy the AccessBooks.ear file, located in your project's repos\AccessBooks.deploy directory, to the %JBOSS_HOME%\standalone\deployments directory.
  2. Copy the mfcobol-notx.rar resource adapter file from your %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\javaee\javaee7\jboss71EAP directory to your %JBOSS_HOME%\standalone\deployments directory.
