Deploying and Packaging a Service Endpoint

  The Web service deployment descriptor location depends on the type of ser 

vice endpoint, as follows:

I

For an EJB service endpoint, the Web service deployment descriptor is pack 

aged in an EJB JAR in the META INF directory as 

META INF/webservice.xml

I

For a JAX RPC service endpoint, the deployment descriptor is packaged in 

a WAR file in the WEB INF directory as 

WEB INF/webservices.xml.

See Figure 3.10, which shows a typical package structure for a Web service

using an EJB endpoint. Figure 3.11 shows the typical structure for a Web service

using a JAX RPC endpoint.
