It will take about one minute for the wizard to assemble
the Web service and Web service client Web projects,
start Apache Tomcat, and deploy the projects to Tomcat.
Once finished, the generated Sample JSP Web application
will appear in the browser view, maximized here for

The Web Service wizard is orchestrating the end-to-end
generation, assembly, deployment, installation and execution
of the Web service, Web service client, and sample JSPs. In
this scenario we clicked Finish on page one. In effect, this
is allowing the wizard to pick reasonable defaults according
to the basic high-level choices made on the first page. If
you repeat this scenario, but use the Next button to work
thru the wizard, you will learn more about the kinds of
choices that are available and the kinds of defaults being
assumed.

Web service can be found in

Now that your Web service is running, there are a few
interesting things you can do with this WSDL file. Examples:

You can double-click on the WSDL to open the WSDL
graphical editor.

You can right-click on the WSDL and choose

You can right-click on the WSDL and choose

You can click on the WSDL and choose

Web Service Client
</b>
to generate a Web service client. Note, however, that we
have already witnessed the internal and visual features
of the Web Service Client wizard since, in addition to
being its own wizard, it is quite literally embedded
within the larger Web Service wizard.
