classes
Next, create a build.xml Apache Ant script in the Application Sources directory
by selecting Categories : General | Ant and Items : Empty Buildfile in the New
Gallery window. The build.xml file is created to compile the EJB 3.0 classes and
Web Service classes, and package the classes to an EAR file.

Deploy the EAR file to the WebLogic server. In the build.xml file, specify properties
for various directories that are used for development and deployment of the
web service.
