A single-service project is a generic
term used to refer various projects in the Enterprise Service Tools.
The types of single-service projects that generates
files for a particular runtime environment (see
Supported runtime environments for each project type) are listed
in
Table 1.

These
projects are considered
to belong to the same category --
single-service
project -- because:
- Each of these projects help you to generate
files associated with a single Web service; and
- The development process for each of these types
of projects is similar.
Note: The IMS
Web 2.0 project has the following differences:
- Currently only Bottom-up, Conversion Type Compiled,
development is supported.
- Conversion from a Single-service project to Service-flow
project is not allowed for IMS Web 2.0 projects.
(See
The available types of single-service projects and
Web services enablement scenarios for each project type)
A single-service project and its folders
and subfolders are displayed in the EST Project Explorer view of the
Enterprise Service Tools perspective (see Folders and subfolders in a single-service project).
You can create multiple
single-service projects (of
any of the
types of
single-service
project) within the EST Project Explorer. Each
single-service
project is self-contained and cannot reference resources in another
single-service project. However:
- You can copy resources from one single-service
project to another.
- You can add a single-service project to
a service flow project (except for IMS Web 2.0 projects).
To see the actual file structure of your workspace, look in the
workbench's Navigator view (see Opening
the Navigator view). You may sometimes wish to use the Navigator
view to move or copy a file that is not displayed in the EST Project
Explorer.
