We had this discussion long time ago and decided not to include wsit config file under configuration files node because the intention was to hide it from users. I'd however agree with you. It's a config file, so it shall be visible in the project. I'll try to change this for 6.8 if it's not too late. Sorry I couldn't fix this for 6.8. The freeze is behind and the code is hard-coded in the specific projects which I can't touch easily. I'll re-target for next release. Wsit config file should be edited via special customizer dialog for web service. There is no need to show it under config file node because it has no any impact on functionality. User don't need to now even that it exists. Closing as wontfix. I am reopening the bug because I quite strongly disagree with the resolution. Here are my reasons: 1. It is a config file, as such it should be dispalyed under "Configuration files" nodes. 2. WSIT config file content usually has a MAJOR impact on the functionality of the resulting web service. 3. Admitedly, there is a nice GUI that users can use in NB to edit the file, but as with many other config files adavanced users often want to edit the file manually. 4. The NB GUI dialog that can be used for editing the config file is not up-to-date and does not cover all the aspects of features or even recent major features (e.g. WS-MakeConnection) that can be configured in the config file. 5. The idea of invisible config file that magically configures Metro web services does no longer hold in the Metro user community for quite a long time already. From the list of reasons only first relates to this issue. Absence of this file under SPECIAL folder in the project node of IDE doesn't prevent you from usage this file. This file can be found under project node "Web pages/WEB-INF/" . And you are still able to edit it manually. So really items 2)-5) is out of scope this issue. Only first item is the essence of this bug. I'm not a strong opponent of this suggestion. I just want to be sure that this proposition is really necessarily. No one else except you doesn't request this functionality. We don't have resources at this moment to work on any suggestion. From my point of view it is not a big issue. But this is a problem from your point of view. My two cents, config node is used for important preselected and know by ide list of configuration files, just absence of some "possible" configuration file from within this node is not an issue. But keep this open for now ads I can't say how important to have this file highly visible or hidden. This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss |
