Where does Eclipse save WSDL file?

Question

I use Eclipse and Axis2 for SOAP WS.

When we create a WebService from a POJO (bottom-up), where is placed the WSDL file, in Eclipse project?

I can get it in browser at /PROJECT/services/WEBSERVICE?wsdl, but I'd like to customize something in it before deplying.

Axis2 generate the WSDL document file on deployment time. By default, when you add ?wsdl, Axis2 does not retrieve a previously generated WSDL document. It is generated every time. But if you put the WSDL document file and the corresponding XML Schema files inside the META-INF folder in the service archive file, it can be recovered with:

http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/MyService.wsdl

The service name given in the services.xml and the service name defined in the WSDL document should be the same.
