Development Environment

The business services server provides a business services development client for developing and testing business services as both a web service provider and a web service consumer. The business services development client provides Oracle's JDeveloper and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Business Services Framework as tools to help you create business services. JDeveloper has wizards and code templates that provide Java code to help you develop business services that conform to web service standards. Tools are provided on the development client to enable you to test all aspects of business service development in an isolated environment prior to checking in your code. You must install JDeveloper on your development client.

Each business service class has compile and runtime dependencies on the business services framework classes. The business services framework consists of base classes from which other classes extend. The business service framework provides services such as business function processing and database access.

Reference implementations are included in your software delivery. The business service reference implementations are sample business services 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 also shows how to enable JD Edwards EnterpriseOne consuming a web service.
