Creating an Empty WS-AppServer Package

This topic describes the procedure to create an empty WS-AppServer package.

Creating a package would be the first step in modeling data using WS-AppServer.

1. Select a starting point and click to open the WS-AppServer Package wizard.
2. Provide the Name, Description, Namespace, and the Java Package Name.
3. To provide the Java Archive Folder Name, click to browse and select a folder in the project.
   

   Note:

   • Ensure that the folder you select is empty and will eventually contain only the generated JAR file. Otherwise, it may cause publish failures, because according to the publish logic of Java Archive Definition, the JAR will also include all the folders and documents (including other Process Platform documents) that exist in this folder.
   • Ensure that the folder or path names that you specify do not contain any spaces. For details, refer to Service Container Configuration Interface.
   The selected folder appears in the field.
4. Provide the Java Archive Name that will contain the build output of the Java sources - the .class files - and it will be created in the selected Java Archive Folder.
5. Click to browse and select the Location to save the WS-AppServer Package.
   Note: Skip this step if you are in the Workspace Documents (Explorer) view because this field appears on the wizard only if you are creating the WS-AppServer package in the Workspace Documents (My Recent Documents) view. The path where the WS-AppServer Package will be created appears in the Location field.
6. Click Finish. The WS-Appserver Package wizard closes and the WS-AppServer Package window appears.
   The WS-AppServer Package is created with the provided details and is stored at the selected location. The details - Java Package Name, and Package Namespace appear on the WS-AppServer Package window. You may modify these later, if required.
