WSAD probably does not know that DeployedServices.ds exists. That file gets created at run-time when the first Apache SOAP service gets created.
I don't use WSAD, so I don't know if there is some way to tell it to add that file to the EAR. When I deploy an Apache SOAP based app, I do not copy the DeployedServices.ds. I install the app, then run ServiceManagerClient against each DeploymentDescriptor.xml to install each service. To me, that serves as an extra check that the app installed correctly. Many on this list, however, do put the .ds file in their WAR or EAR files, so what you are doing is not particularly unusual. Whether any of them generate an EAR from WSAD (as opposed to doing it manually, for instance), I do not know.
