How to Implement an Application Using the Web Service Client API

Note: For a list of operating systems, Java environments, and platforms that the Web Service Client API supports, see the SOA Security Manager Platform Matrix on the Technical Support site at http://ca.com/support.

To implement an application the Web Service Client API

1. Review the required software as listed in the accompanying release notes.
2. Review the sample code.
3. Write source code for your client application.
4. Ensure that the XML Agent Content Helper API JAR file is available whenever you compile or run a Web service client application built using the Web Service Client API. The JAR file, soasmapi.jar, is stored in the following locations:
   • Windows platforms:

     SDK_Install_Dir\Java

   • UNIX platforms:

     SDK_Install_Dir\Java

   Add soasmapi.jar to your CLASSPATH setting. When compiling, you can use the -classpath switch.

5. Compile the application using javac.

   For an example, see java-build.bat or java-build.sh in the sample directory smjavaagentapi.

6. Run the Web service client application.
