<title>Creating top-down Web services</title>
<shortdesc>Web services can be created using two methods: top-down development
and bottom-up development. Top-down Web services development involves creating
a Web service from a WSDL file.</shortdesc>
<conbody>
<p>Although bottom-up Web service development may be faster and easier, especially
if you are new to Web services, the top-down approach is the recommended way
of creating a Web service.</p>
<p>When creating a Web service using a top-down approach, first you design
the implementation of the Web service by creating a WSDL file. You can do
this using the WSDL Editor. You can then use the Web services wizard to create
the Web service and skeleton <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc."

code.</p>
