This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Following this tutorial: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/60/websvc/strikeiron.html, the web service is dragged from the Services tab and then dropped on the visual designer page. That works fine, but unfortunately the end result is that the user cannot take advantage of the IDE's Web Service Client Resources > Call Web Service Operation feature. In order for that to work, a new API is needed that the visual designer can use to get the appropriate information about the web service so that it can be added as a node to the project.
