Netbeans + Glassfish Not generating wsdl or service url

Question

I know this is a problem that could have a thousand causes, somewhere deep in a conf file.
I have a Netbeans 6.7 manager project. I added some a web service class, added an operation to test. The project deploys to glassfish no problem. However if I try and go to the test via Netbeans (right click a web service and pick "Test Web Service") I get an error "Warning: unable to open web service tester page: http://localhost:8080/Manager/WSFooService?tester"
Clearly browsing to that URL doesn't work. It seems like the project is not even generating the WSDL for the web service so I can't make any clients to test it.
I am not sure which conf files to post, so here is a couple:
web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app metadata-complete="true" version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>
            30
        </session-timeout>
    </session-config>
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
        </welcome-file-list>
    </web-app>sub-web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE sun-web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Application Server 9.0 Servlet 2.5//EN" "http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-web-app_2_5-0.dtd">
<sun-web-app error-url="">
  <context-root>/MegaManager</context-root>
  <class-loader delegate="true"/>
  <jsp-config>
    <property name="keepgenerated" value="true">
      <description>Keep a copy of the generated servlet class' java code.</description>
    </property>
  </jsp-config>
</sun-web-app>Netbeans also shows a directory in the tree
src
  - conf
    - xml-resources
     - web-service-references
      - EMPTYI think I need to modify my build.xml to override one of the build tasks so it generates the proper wsdl and Service end points (like wsgen or whatever I am suppose to use). I guess Netbeans fails to do this automatically.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello,
you can check it at GlassFish Admin console (usually running on port 4848).
You need to log on to Admin console with the (default) or changed password (depends if you changed it during installation).
There you could see your web service deployed (usually in the "folder" Web services).
If you can see it you should see also wsdl - for your web service.
