Project Tree

The Project Tree displays the files of your web service project organized in a directory structure.

Drop and Drag

The Project Tree supports drop and drag functionality. You can rearrange the file and directory structure by selecting and dragging elements within the Project Tree. You can also drag files and folders from your local file system into the Project Tree.

Note that controls can be added to a web service by dragging a CTRL file from the Project Tree into the main work area displayed in design mode.

Autogeneration of WSDL and CTRL Files

To autogenerate a WSDL or CTRL file from a JWS file, right click on the appropriate JWS file and select either Generate WSDL from JWS or Generate CTRL from JWS. When a WSDL or CTRL file is autogenerated in this way, the autogenerated file appears indented underneath the originating JWS file. Autogenerated files are automatically updated when changes are made to their originating JWS file. However, if an autogenerated file is at any time edited directly, it looses its ability to be automatically updated.

An asterisk (*) appearing to the right of a file in the Project Tree indicates the file has been changed but not yet saved.
