Issue
When I add a web service to my java project, I can run the project and use all the web methods I have created. However, after I clean and build the project, I get a console message that the service can't be found. I do the clean and build so that I can deploy it to a web server, which has worked in the past.
I tried changing The JDK version from 8 to 7 and back, I checked the project properties, but I'm not sure what to look for there. I also created a new web service with all the same web methods in it. That works until I run a clean and build. I also tried using Netbeans 8.1 instead of 8.2.
I must have changed something but I don't know what to look for. I am using Tomcat 8 as my server.
Solution
I found the problem. When I first tried to run a clean and build, I got the error that said that a file could not be deleted. I deleted all files in the WEB-INF folder. That included the web.xml that contained the directions for the app to find the web service. Once I put that file back (thank you source control), it worked like I expected it to.
