How to generate WSDL file for any JAX-WS?

[Leonardo Carreira]

Hi Friends..

I wanna ask you how to generate WSDL file for JAX-WS?..
i saw there's any way for placing WSDL file in WEB-INF directory (for JAX-WS Servlet instance)..
and the WSDL file is configured in @WebService's wsdlLocation property..

    
@Stateless
@WebService(wsdlLocation = "WEB-INF/wsdl/HelloBean,wsdl")
public class HelloBean implements HelloBeanLocal{
...................
}

currently, i'm learning developing WebService through tools such as Netbeans6.5 and Eclipse..
How to generate WSDL through Netbeans 6.5 and Eclipse?..

while i don't attach wsdlLocation property, i access that WebService through URL :

    
http://localhost:8080/HelloBeanService/HelloBean?WSDL

and then if i've generated that WSDL file, how to access the WebService's WSDL?..
is the way same like while we don't include wsdlLocation property?.. or is the way diiferent?

Thanks in advance..

Hello!
The way I usually choose when to generate a WSDL starting from Java code is an Ant script. Enclosed is an example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<project default="main" basedir="../../">

	<!-- Root of classpath in which the web service class can be found. -->
	<property name="class-dir" value="${basedir}/build/classes/"/>
	<!-- Default output directory for artifacts generated by wsgen. -->
	<property name="wsgen-outdir" value="${basedir}/build/wsgen-output/"/>
	<!-- Directory to which WSDL document will be written by wsgen. -->
	<property name="wsdl-outdir" value="${basedir}/WebContent/WEB-INF/wsdl/"/>
	<!-- Directory to which generated sourcefiles will be written by wsgen. -->
	<property name="src-outdir" value="${basedir}/src/"/>
	<!-- Directory to which generated classfiles will be written by wsgen. -->
	<property name="gen-classdir" value="${wsgen-outdir}/com/"/>
	<!-- Absolute path of the wsgen command. -->
	<property name="wsgen-cmd" value="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/wsgen"/>
	
	<echo message="calling the web services generation task wsgen" />
	<target name="main">
		<exec executable="${wsgen-cmd}">
			<arg value="-verbose"/>
			
			<!-- Set the classpath. -->
			<arg value="-classpath"/>
			<arg value="${class-dir}"/>
			
			<!-- Generate a WSDL file. -->
			<arg value="-wsdl"/>
			
			<!-- Specify where to write other generated files. -->
            		<arg value="-d"/>
            		<arg value="${wsgen-outdir}"/>
			
			<!-- Specify where to write WSDL and XML schema files. -->
			<arg value="-r"/>
			<arg value="${wsdl-outdir}"/>
			
			<!-- Specify where to write generated source files. -->
			<arg value="-s"/>
			<arg value="${src-outdir}"/>
			
			<!-- Keep generated source files. -->
			<arg value="-keep"/>
			
			<!-- Specify service endpoint interface/class. -->
			<arg value="com.ivan.Calculator" />
		</exec>

		<!-- Delete the directory containing the generated classes. -->
		<delete dir="${gen-classdir}"/>
	</target>
</project>

Best wishes!
