When Protection! Web Services Application is properly configured with the help of Licensing Façade Configuration Dialog it should be deployed to the compatible Web container.
The first step is getting ready-to-deploy Web application (.war file). This can be done by using the "File | Generate WS" menu item at the Products Screen. This command bundles Protection! Deployment License, currently opened products storage, configuration with Protection Web Services Application core and saves the configured Web application to a specified file.
The next step is deploying the configured application to a compatible Web container e.g. to Apache Tomcat 5.x. Please refer to documentation of corresponding Web container to learn how to deploy Web applications. When Protection! Web Services Application has been deployed and is up and running it is ready to serve clients by allowing them to get or activate licenses.
The simple test that allows developers to see that Protection! Web Services Application is up and running is done by opening the Licensing Façade URL with the "?wsdl" command in your Web browser. For example the following link:
http://services.jproductivity.net:8080/ProtectionWS/services/LicensingFacade?wsdl
shows WSDL descriptor of running Licensing Façade at jProductivity Web site.
The current implementation does not provide any ability to configure an already deployed Protection! Web Services Application. To do so the application should be reconfigured and deployed/re-deployed again. This allows publishing changes of the product storage (e.g. products addition, removal or modifications) or changes of any other options.
