For the development starting from WSDL, create a WSDL according to WSDL 1.1 specifications and WS-I Basic Profile 1.1. For the support range of the WSDL 1.1 specifications, see 20.1 Support range of the WSDL 1.1 specifications.

For POJO Web Services, store the created WSDL in the wsdl directory configuring WAR files. For the WSDL storage destination, see 3.5.1 Configuring WAR files.

For EJB Web Services, store the created WSDL in the wsdl directory configuring EJB JAR files. For the WSDL storage destination, see 3.5.2 Configuring EJB JAR files.

If WSDL is not included in the wsdl directory, a WSDL will be automatically generated according to the JAX-WS 2.2 specifications using the JAX-WS engine of the Web Service machine, when deploying the Web Service.
