# Creating and deploying a JAX-WS service

Creating and deploying a JAX-WS service using Eclipse STP involves the following steps:

1. Choose a JAX-WS runtime.
2. Do one of the following:
   - Create a Java First project, add annotations to the code, and then generate stub code.
   - Create a WSDL First project. Annotated stub code is generated for you automatically.
3. Update the generated stub code as required and rebuild your project.
4. Create a connection profile.
5. Generate a deployment archive.
6. Deploy the service.
