9.2.5 Create the Web Service from DADX file

We are going to create a Web Service to encapsulate the extraction of the passenger list from the database. Web Service example which lists all the passengers that have tickets for a flight. Here we take a more top-down approach by first designing the format of the output message as an XML Schema. We then map the schema elements with the database fields and express the mapping as a DAD file that can be executed by the DB2 XML Extender. The DB2 XML Extender allows us to handle XML documents that have complex hierarchical structures. We then work on a user interface to display the output into HTML and test its behavior.

The DB2 XML Extender provides stored procedures that can execute DAD files. The Web Service files are going to be in a different project called Travel.

DAD Extension

DAD Extension (DADX) is an XML technology for rapidly creating Web services that access relational databases such as DB2 UDB. When combined with the DB2 XML Extender, DADX supports mapping relational data into complex XML documents and storing XML documents in the database. DADX consists of an XML document format and a Java runtime component that work with Apache
