| <h1 class="topictitle1">Developing Web services</h1> |
| <div><p>Use Web services tools to discover, create, and publish Web services |
| that are created from Java™ beans, enterprise beans, and WSDL files. |
| You can create of Web services using a top-down approach (which starts with |
| a WSDL file) or a bottom-up approach (which starts with a Java bean |
| or EJB).</p> |
| <div class="section"><p>In this release, the development path that you would typically |
| follow to create and publish a Web service is as follows:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li><span>Create a Web project.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Create or import an artifact to be turned into a Web service.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Create a Web service.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Publish a business entity.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Publish a Web service.</span></li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="section"><p>For instructions on performing these tasks, refer to the list of |
| related topics at the end of this topic.</p> |
| <p>Web tools assist you in developing |
| Web applications that you can configure as a Web service. Web applications |
| are developed in a Web project, and Server tools allow you to use the server |
| test environment to test and deploy your Web services.</p> |
