Prepare the workspace

The WebServicesRouter project contains all files that are used to define Web services. You should place all the WSDL (Web Services Description Language) and XSD (XML Schema Definition) files in this project.

To develop a new Web service or modify an existing Web service definition, use the files in the WebServiceRouter project under the WebContent folder. The WebContent folder contains wsdl and xsd folders. To reuse the schemas in other Web service definitions, separate the schema from the WSDL file.
