About this task
By publishing a WSDL file, you are providing clients with a description of the web service, including the URL identifying the location of the service.
The WSDL files in each web services-enabled module are published to the file system location you specify. You can provide these WSDL files in the development and configuration process of the web service clients so they can invoke your web services.
