Adding a Service-Driven Component to a Web Application

After you create a Web application, you can add a service-driven component. To add a service-driven component, you must enable SOAP Service component support in your Web application project. SOAP service component support adds libraries that enable the generation of service managed beans during design time and invoke the service at runtime.

The following workflow guides you through the development process. For assistance in performing these tasks, launch the Adding a Service-Driven Component to a Web Application cheat sheet.
