Make deployed Web services applications available to clients
You can publish WSDL files to the file system, providing clients with a description of the Web service, including the URL identifying the location of the service. The WSDL files for each Web services-enabled module are published to the file system location you specify. You can provide these WSDL files to clients that want to invoke the Web services.
The publish WSDL panel generates a zip file that contains WSDL files for all modules in an application that contains JAX-WS or JAX-RPC Web services.
Before publishing a WSDL file, configure Web services to specify endpoint information in the form of URL fragments to enable full URL spec of WSDL ports.
You can specify endpoint information for HTTP ports, for JMS ports, or we can directly access enterprise beans that are acting as Web services.
- Set the Web services client bindings.
- Set the URL endpoint information for HTTP bindings.
- Externalize or publish the WSDL file out of the application.
