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.

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

Visual COBOL 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 COBOL Explorer, right-click the AccessBooks Web Service; then select Generate Client from the context menu.
On the Generate Client dialog box, click Create a new COBOL project.
On the Generate Client dialog box, type ProgramEJBClient into the Project Name field, and then click OK.
Click OK to generate the client.
Note: The Single Executable File target type is the default build configuration setting in the new project. To confirm this:
1. In the COBOL Explorer, right-click the ProgramEJBClient project; then select Properties from the context menu.
2. Expand Micro Focus > Build Configurations; then click Link.
  The Target Type field should be set to Single Executable File.
3. Click Close.

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.
