Deployment Descriptor Visual Editor: Web Services

See Also

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.

Web Services

Click Add Web Service to add a descriptor properties for a web service. Each web service has the following properties.

Web Service Clients

Click Add Web Service Reference to add a descriptor properties for a web service. Each web service client has the following properties.

Web Service Endpoints

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.

Click Add Endpoint to add a descriptor properties for a web service endpoint. Each web service client has the following properties.

You can edit the following properties in the visual editor:

Note that for servlet endpoints, authentication is either configured in web.xml (see security-constraint) or with a message-security-binding.
