WLW 7.0.1 - FAQs about webservices created using Weblogic Workshop (Doc ID 771822.1)

Goal

DESCRIPTION:
I created a simple project in Workshop and then generated a webservice EAR from it using jwsCompile. Then I deployed
this EAR in a server on development mode from a workshop-type domain.

QUESTIONS:
1. Where do I find the URL of the WSDL for the deployed EAR?

2. When I try to get the WSDL or try to look at the debug JWS interface using the URL:
http://Server:Port/WorkshopProjectName/WebServiceName.jws
http://Server:Port/WorkshopProjectName/WebServiceName.jws?WSDL

I get the following error:
Error: null

3. Is there a way to determine the service and WSDL URLs from the admin console?  Do I need to keep track of the
parameters I used when I ran jwscompile?

4. In the past, I have built BEA web services without Workshop using servicegen. It automatically created a nice HTML
page for testing the web service.  Do I lose that with Workshop?
