J2EE Platform Web Services

When developing and deploying Web Services clients and server modules using JWSDP, you may wish to adopt the following project directory to reuse the ANT build.xml templates as in Figure C-8:

When ANT executes the build.xml script, it will compile and generate Java classes and necessary files under the "build" subdirectory (if " ANT build " is invoked) or deploy all necessary Java classes and files in a single war file (if " ANT deploy " is invoked). The "build" subdirectory stores all compiled Java classes, and the "dist" stores the war file for deployment in the application server.
