Running the sample

Using the SOAP client bridge sample

This sample uses e-Biz Impact and EAServer 5.0 or later with Sybase Web Services Toolkit and Eclipse.

If you are using EAServer 5.0., skip steps 1 through 3 and use HelloBridgeEAS500.jar.

Install and set up EAServer.

Install EAServer 5.0 or later. See the EAServer installation guide for your platform .

Eclipse is installed as part of the standard EAServer installation when you install Web Services. To run Eclipse, you must have a complete JDK installation (jdk1.4 or later), which is not installed as part of the standard EAServer installation.
Start EAServer.
Start Eclipse and connect to EAServer.
