Deployment Descriptor

You must edit the Identity Manager deployment descriptor, typically found in the WEB-INF/web.xml file, to contain a declaration for the servlet that receives SPML requests.

If you are having difficulty contacting the SPML web service, look in the web.xml file for a servlet declaration. The following example shows a servlet declaration.

Example 1–4 Servlet Declaration

<servlet>
   <servlet-name>rpcrouter2</servlet-name>
   <display-name>OpenSPML SOAP Router</display-name>
   <description>no description</description>
   <servlet-class>
      org.openspml.server.SOAPRouter
   </servlet-class>
   <init-param>
      <param-name>handlers</param-name>
      <param-value>com.waveset.rpc.SimpleRpcHandler</param-value>
   </init-param>
   <init-param>
      <param-name>spmlHandler</param-name>
      <param-value>com.waveset.rpc.SpmlHandler</param-value>
   </init-param>
   <init-param>
      <param-name>rpcHandler</param-name>
      <param-value>com.waveset.rpc.RemoteSessionHandler</param-value>
   </init-param>
</servlet>

This declaration allows you to access addRequest, modifyRequest, and searchRequest web services through the URL:

http://<host>:<port>/idm/servlet/rpcrouter2

where

• host is the machine on which you are running Identity Manager.

• port is the number of the TCP port on which the server is listening.

Although you can, you are not required to define a servlet-mapping. Do not modify the contents of this servlet declaration.
