Creating generation properties files with the single-service wizards
To create these generation properties files using a single-service wizard:
Start the Enterprise Service Tools Wizard Launchpad from a type of project other than a single-service project (see Starting the launchpad from a type of project other than a single-service project).
On the launchpad, select Save generation properties (see Save generation properties).
Start the wizard for the development scenario for which you want to create generation properties files.
Work through the pages of the wizard, selecting for each option the value that you want to be specified in the properties file for the batch processor.
On the File, data set, or member selection page, on the Properties tab, specify the path and names that you want to use for the three generation properties output files (see Properties tab).
The wizard does it processing as usual and also creates the three generation properties files.
If you are interested mainly in being able to regenerate the web service artifacts without having to reenter the launchpad and wizard inputs, The Enterprise Service Tools perspective provides a convenient way to take advantage of the generated properties files. The properties are kept in a runtime-specific project and are used to populate the single-service wizard when regeneration is desired. The projects allow iterative development, since it is possible to make a change to a single option, without having to reenter the rest.
Creating the generation properties files manually using the samples
Follow these steps to create the environment and populate the options in the properties files for the batch processor:
wdz\wstools\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.etools.xmlent.batch_7.0.0\Samples
If you use this sample, modify it with a text editor (or a specialized XML editor) to suit your purpose.wdz\wstools\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.etools.xmlent.batch_7.0.0\Samples
You can then edit the new file with a text editor (or a specialized XML editor) and set the options.wdz\wstools\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.etools.xmlent.batch_7.0.0\Samples
Open the resulting file with a text editor (or a specialized XML editor) and set the appropriate PlatformProperties.xml and, for each individual set of converter and service definition generation options (ServiceSpecification.xml) files that you created in the previous step, add a GenerationSpec element that references the file that you created.Related concepts
