Where to put the *.wsdl file? In the project base directory in workspace? [message #223263]

Assume I develop a Web Service from top-down (starting with a WSDL).

Where is the intended place to store the original *.wsdl file?

Should the developer put the WSDL into the base directory of the project in the workspace?

I usually put them in the META-INF or WEB-INF directory.

The source for the WSDL does not need to be directly deployed to the
server (although a generated web service will use a copy of it), so it
does not need to go into the WAR structure in any way. Wherever you put
it is just a convention.

For a "standalone" ws application, I like to create a "resources"
subdirectory, and then under that a "contract" directory, where WSDLs
would be stored. I would also create a "schema" directory parallel to the
"contract" directory. If you eventually migrate these to an enterprise
contract repository, that is a good structure for that repository
(although there are other choices).
