Annotating a class

To add a @WebService annotation to a class:
  1. In the Package Explorer, expand the package and then the Java file where the class is located.
  2. Select the class.
  3. Select JAX-WS > Create Web Service from the menu bar.
    • If you selected the Generate default annotations ... option in JAX-WS Preferences, the @Webservice annotation will be added to the code with default values
    • If you selected Use wizards to overwrite defaults in JAX-WS Preferences, the Create Web Service wizard displays. Complete the fields in the wizard and click Finish.
Once you save the annotated Java class, a WSDL file is automatically generated and added to a wsdl directory in your project. Your project will also be JAX-WS enabled.
