I am new to Eclipse and also new to Web Services and I need some help:

I created on of the demo Wem Services projects and couldn't find a way to
publish it to the web. The demo I had stated that I should update the
Deployment Descriptor file. However, it didn't exist in the project. I
did some research and it pointed me to Ant to create the descriptor file.
When I ran the Ant External Tool that created the Ant Wizard I couldn't
find any documentation to support this. Further research pointed me to
the JSP file. This had me select the Java Servlet and Create a Web
Service from it thorugh the Wizard. I did this and it created a JSP file
with a WSDL file for my project. My project now runs. However, when I
perform the tasks in my project the Java code is never called.

My questions:
1) Creating a build.xml file from Ant is that the same as creating a .jsp
file using the Web Services Wizard?

2) If so, which is better or more current?

3) Is there documentatoin for using the Ant Wizard?

4) Does the Ant Wizard create a build.xml?

5) How do I generate a Deployment Descriptor file or is it the same as the
build.xml file that would be generated?

I would greatly appreciate any help that I can get on this.

Thanks,
Ben

When you created your web service (right-click java file -> create web
service) did it create a deploy.wsdd and undeploy in
.....WEB-INF\servicenameservice\servicename\ ?
