A packaging utility is created that can in turn create a deployment archive (DAR) file containing the data required to install a Web service application, comprising, for example, portlets for creating Web pages for the Web service's user interface, UDDI entries, executable programs, and application-wide properties. The application-wide properties may comprise elements to be used in connection with one or more Web services, for example, encryption levels, service levels, timeouts, and number of retries. For administration efficiency the application-wide properties may be applied according to hierarchies, for example from groupings of Web services to individual Web services and from organizations of users to individual users. An unpackaging tool is created to unpackage and install the DAR file on a target environment. A configuration set is employed by the unpackaging tool to determine where the elements of the Web service application are to be installed on the target environment.
