Business Services Server Overview

The business services server enables JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to natively produce and consume web services. The business services server, which is built on top of a Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) server, can be an Oracle WebLogic Server (WLS) or a WebSphere Application Server (WAS). The business services server is required for creating JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provider and consumer web services. Applications that are developed or run on the business services server are written in the Java programming language.

When you install the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software, the Server Manager deploys an application to the application server. This application contains the business service foundation and business service reference implementations. The business service foundation is a collection of executable files that are required for running business services. The business service reference implementations are sample business services that are provided by JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. You can use the reference implementations as models for creating custom business services that can be exposed as web services. A reference implementation for creating web services for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne as a web service consumer is provided.
