Each web service project produces a J2EE module, each of which is included in the complete Eclipse application's EAR file when you build your application for deployment.

The contents of web service projects are accessed through the test client which allows you to access each operation of the web service by clicking on a button. For more information, see Testing Web Services.

Using OEPE, you can create a Web service project by following this procedure:

1. Right-click the Project Explorer and select New > Project from the drop-down menu. This will open the New Project dialog.
2. Select WebLogic Web Services > Web Service Project from the list, as Figure 1 shows, and then click Next.
   This will open the New Web Service Project dialog.

2. Creating a Web Service Project From an Existing Dynamic Web Project
