View the Web Service configuration

Before you begin

You must install a Web Service before you can view its configuration. See Install a Web Service.

Basic configuration details of a Web Service include the type of implementation (Java class packaged in a WAR file or a stateless EJB packaged in an EJB JAR file), the full name of the Web Service, and so on.

Note: You cannot change the basic configuration of a Web Service using the Administration Console; you can just view it. The only type of Web Service configuration you can update is the WS-Policy files that are associated with the service and the features of the Web Service security configuration that is associated wth the Web Service.

To view the basic configuration of a Web Service:

In the left pane of the Administration Console, select Deployments.
In the right pane, navigate within the Deployments table until you find the Web Service for which you want to view the configuration.
Note: Web Services are deployed as part of an Enterprise Application, Web Application or EJB. To understand how Web Services are displayed in the Administration Console, see View installed Web Services.
In the Deployments table, click the name of the Web service.
Select Configuration > General for general information, such as the implementation type and source of the Web Service..
Select Configuration > Handlers for information about the SOAP handlers that are associated with the Web Service.
Select Configuration > WSDL to view the WSDL (public contract) of the Web Service.
Select Configuration > WS-Policy for information about the WS-Policy files associated with the Web Service.
