· Providing Web services
You can create a Java EE 5 Web service starting from an available implementation (inside out approach), or from a WSDL document (outside in approach). More information: Providing Web Services.
Optionally, you can apply basic configuration settings to the Web service by using annotations provided by SAP. More information: Configuring Web Services at Design Time.
· Consuming Web services
When you have provided remote functionality, exposed as a Web service, you have to create a Web service client for it. More information: Consuming Web Services.
· Configuring Web services and Web service clients.
After you deploy the Web service or the Web service client, you have to configure them at runtime in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator by applying the specific runtime configuration settings (such as concrete security mechanism) with which you want to provide or consume a Web service. More information: Configuring Web Services and Web Service Clients in the SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
· Publishing Web services to the Services Registry
