Adding the WSDL File Location to the Outbound Web Services File

Once your WSDL file(s) is in your file system you need to create (if not already in existence) a ws_outbound.xml file in your component axis directory and update it. The recommended location for this file is: components/custom/axis/ws_outbound.xml.

In that file you identify the location of the WSDL file(s); for example:

Figure 1. Sample ws_outbound.xml File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<services>
  <service name="SomeService"
    location=
    "components/custom/axis/SomeService/SomeService.wsdl"/>
  </services>

In the ws_outbound.xml file there is one service entity for each web service, specifying the service name (matching the WSDL file base name) and location (relative to the SERVER_DIR environment variable).
