Deploying Library Component Web Services

About this task

WorldServer includes a Web Services Library Component that provides support for Global Authoring Management System™ (Global AMS™), used by authors who install the AuthorAssistant™ client into, and access WorldServer linguistic resources (translation memories, term databases) from, their desktop authoring tools. You install this Library Component by running an ANT script to deploy the files into your WorldServer system, after which you may need to restart WorldServer.

Note: You must perform this installation procedure on the computer on which WorldServer is running. It cannot be performed remotely.

To install the Global AMS support Web Service Library Component:

Procedure

Ensure that WorldServer is running.
Set the environment variable WS_HOME to the pathname of your WorldServer installation. For example,
```
set WS_HOME=C:\Program Files\Idiom\WorldServer\tomcat\webapps\ws-legacy
```
In your WorldServer distribution, extract the contents of wssdk_<version.build>.zip.
In a command window, navigate to the folder in which you unzipped the wssdk_<version.build>.zip file, and then to the libraries sub-folder.
Execute the deploy.webservice.gams target of the deploy.xml ANT script, specifying appropriate values for the ws.host and ws.context parameters, as shown in this example:
```
libraries> ant -f deploy.xml -Dws.host=localhost:8080 -Dws.context=ws-legacy deploy.webservice.gams
```

Results

The ANT script installs into your WorldServer system the files that provide support for Global AMS. Among them is a configuration file, lcid.config, that is deployed into your Web server's configuration folder. For Tomcat, by default this would be

C:\Program Files\Idiom\WorldServer\tomcat\webapps\ws-legacy\WEB-INF\classes\config\

What to do next

Note: Make sure that your application server context is capable of reloading the newly-deployed Web Services JAR file while WorldServer is running; otherwise, you must restart your application server after you deploy this Web Service, and then rerun the deploy.webservice.gams target of the deploy.xml ANT script to register the new Web Service Library Component.
