That's Java first or "bottom-up", right? Is there a "top-down" or "contract first" way within JAX-WS?
Yes, there is.
If you want to start from a WSDL, then you generate the client and server artifacts using wsimport.
Finally you write the endpoint implementation class, which is to implement the generated interface of the service.
Edit:
I see your point - you feel that there is something missing from my study guide.
I can agree with you and even to the extent that I feel that I should add an example of contract-first development in that very section.
Thanks for pointing this out!
Best wishes!
