The Web Services tab of the deployment descriptor visual editor lets you edit the platform-specific deployment descriptors for web services in the project if you are deploying to the GlassFish server.
A web or enterprise application will only contain the glassfish-web.xml, glassfish-ejb-jar.xml or glassfish-application-client.xml deployment descriptors if the target server is the GlassFish server.
You get to this pane by expanding your project's Configuration Files node in the Projects window and double-clicking glassfish-web.xml, glassfish-ejb-jar.xml or glassfish-application-client.xml and clicking the Web Services tab.
Depending on your application, the Web Services tab may have the following sections.
Click Add Web Service to add a descriptor properties for a web service. Each web service has the following properties.
Optionally enter a URL of a directory to which this web service's WSDL and any dependent files are published during deployment.
Click Add Web Service Reference to add a descriptor properties for a web service. Each web service client has the following properties.
The Web Service Endpoints section enables you to edit the properties of any endpoints exposed by a web service in the application. An endpoint identifies the final destination of a service or a message. In the web service context, an endpoint is the URL at which the service can be reached. The properties should automatically be prepopulated with entries corresponding to the ports defined for this service in webservices.xml.
