1. Make implementation decisions for your web service.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Create a JAX-WS web service from Java. When creating a web service from Java, the assumption is that you do not have a WSDL file. However, you can use existing code to implement your web service.
   • Create a JAX-WS web service from a WSDL File
   • Create a RESTful web service. RESTful web services are particularly useful if you need to read and write to a database.

1. In the Projects window or Files window, double-click the files that you would like to edit.
2. Use the Source Editor to develop the web service. Regarding JAX-WS web services, you can use the IDE to generate skeleton code for one or more of the following:
   • Adding a web service operation
   • Adding a handler
   • Calling an EJB

In most cases you do not need to build the web service. The IDE builds the service automatically as part of the deployment process. However,

1. Right-click the project's node in the Projects window and choose Build.
2. Analyze the result and, if necessary, customize the related tool's features. For a JAX-WS web service that is created from a WSDL file, you can use the Web Service Attributes editor to customize XML to Java (JAXB) mappings, WS Security, or other WS* features.

To deploy the web service, simply deploy the web application that contains the service. If you have a web service that delegates to an EJB module, you can combine the service's web application and the EJB module in an enterprise application and deploy the enterprise application. See Deploying an Enterprise Application or Deploying a Web Application.

• Test JAX-WS web services or test RESTful web services.
