In my previous blog,A�I have discussed how to createA�web service from java class. To make this web service available over the network, we need to deploy the web service in the web logic server. Here we will learn how to deploy the web service as a WAR file, the standard approach. First we will create deployment profile and then we will deploy it to WAR. Please follow the below steps to achieve this.
