Removing Exposed Methods from Modeled Web Services

There are three ways of removing methods from a web service. You can:

• Deselect the method from those selected for implementation as a web service.
• Remove the method from the underlying Java class and regenerate the web service.
• Delete the method from the modeled web service and regenerate the web service.

To deselect a method exposed as a web service:

1. Open the reentrant Create Web Service wizard by:
   • double-clicking the modeled web service on the diagram
   • right-clicking the modeled web service and choosing Properties
   • double-clicking the web service container in the navigator
   • right-clicking the web service container in the navigator and choosing Properties
2. In the Exposed Methods page, deselect the method you no longer want to expose as a web service.
3. Click OK to regenerate the WSDL document.
   
   The modeled web service will only show the methods that are implemented as web services. In the underlying Java class, the method is removed although the @webmethod Javadoc comment will still appear.

To remove a method from a Java class:

1. Edit the Java class on which the web service is based and remove the method.
2. Choose Regenerate Web Service from the web service container's context menu.

The WSDL document is regenerated and the modeled web service no longer shows this exposed method.

To remove a method from the modeled web service:

• In the modeled web service on the class diagram, right-click the method you want to remove, and choose D elete from Model.

The WSDL document is regenerated and the modeled web service no longer shows this exposed method.
