Creating web services and clients with Ant tasks or command line tools

If you prefer not to use the web service wizards, you can use Ant tasks or command line tools to create web services using the IBM® WebSphere® runtime environments or Axis runtime environment.

The Ant tasks and command line tools support creating web services using both top-down and bottom-up approaches. Once you have created your web service, you can then deploy it to a server, test it, and publish it as a business entity or business service.

Restriction: The wsgen Ant task is not supported in the Rational Build Utility product; however, you can make use of the wsant script inside the Rational Application Developer SDP/bin folder that enables one to execute the Web services ant tasks outside the GUI.
