The functions of a web service are the actions that the external application can execute. For a PROIV connector this is a Task, for a Java connector this is a method, and for a Reality connector this is a DataBasic program. A web service can have as many functions as you require and these can use any number of connectors.
On the Connector list, Select a connector.
On the Function list, select a function.
 |
Note: The first time you use a connector, a function list is built and this may take a few seconds. You may see a Functions Loading... message displayed in the Function drop-down list. If this message remains for several seconds it may indicate a problem with parsing the Java class associated with the Java Connector. Please examine the log information which is held in the following log file under the PROIV directory structure: Web Services\logs\wrapper.log The log file location is configurable from: Web Services\conf\wrapper.conf |
Click Add Function.
Click Delete Function which is to the right of the function.
The function will be immediately deleted without any confirmation dialog.
The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is a standard XML string that defines the functions available in a web service. Click Show WSDL to get a web page that will give you the WSDL URL. You can use the URL to see the XML that is generated for the web service when queried by a service client.
 |
The WSDL URL can be used by an external web services client to collect the WSDL and execute the services. |
