Exposing the Web Service Client in the Projects Window

When you use the Web Service Client wizard, the IDE creates files such as stubs and other artifacts. These files are regenerated whenever you run the Build Project command. Therefore, like all other files that are regenerated during builds, these files are not shown in the Projects window. If you want to see the client files generated by the IDE, you must open the Files window (Ctrl-2) and look in the build folder until you find the client package that you defined in the Web Service Client wizard.

You may need to examine the generated client files on a regular basis. It can be tedious to switch between the Projects window and Files window and to expand nodes in the Files window while looking for the client files. Therefore, you can manually add the package that you created in the Web Service Client wizard to the Projects window. This gives the generated client files greater visibility and lets you work with them more easily.

To expose the web service client artifacts in the Projects Window:

  1. Create the web service client
  2. Right-click the project node and choose Properties from the pop-up menu.
  3. In the upper part of the Sources panel, click Add Folder and browse to the package containing the client files.

    The client package is now displayed in the Source Package Folders list.

  4. Click OK.

Now that you have added the client package as a source package folder, the following IDE functionality is available:
