Tools for developing SOAP services using NetBeans?

[Bryan Pendleton <bp...@altavista.com>]

I am interested in tools for users who are 
developing Apache SOAP services using NetBeans. 
 
(See http://www.netbeans.org for more information 
on the NetBeans IDE.) 
 
Are others using NetBeans to develop Apache 
SOAP services? What tools would be useful for that? 
 
I think that the following tools would be useful: 
 
1) It would be nice if the internal TomCat server 
that is bundled with NetBeans were to include the 
Apache SOAP jar file, pre-installed and pre-configured 
in the server.xml configuration file. This would 
avoid having to run a separate copy of TomCat. 
 
2) It would be nice if there were some simple  
integration of the Apache SOAP administration tools 
(deploy, undeploy, and list services) with NetBeans. 
So that, for example, you could select one of your 
Java classes and choose "deploy to SOAP server" from 
a menu. 
 
3) It would be nice if there were some tools for 
working with WSDL (Web Services Description Language). 
For example, tools to generate WSDL from Java classes, 
and tools to generate simple Java Beans from WSDL. 
 
Are there other such tools that would be useful? 
 
How do I get in touch with other people who are 
working on developing such tools for NetBeans? 
 
thanks,
