Importing & Exporting WSDL

This appendix describes how to import and export WSDL.

1. Importing a Web Service

The Import Web Service function uses the WSDL file to configure inbound and outbound services.

  1. In the BizTx Group navigator, right click on a BizTx/BizTx Group and select [Import]. Then, select [Import Web Service] in the [AnyLink Import] menu.

    URL Path

    WSDL files can be imported by using the following URL format:

    {$IP}:{$PORT}/{$CONTEXT_PATH}/{$URL}?wsdl

    Web Service Type

    Web Service type.

    • Inbound: Creates a BizTx Group, inbound WSDL, and message required for inbound services.

    • Outbound: Creates an outbound WSDL, outbound message, and outbound rule required for inbound services.

    • Proxy: Creates all resources required for inbound and outbound services. Also, creates the flow used for outbound rules.

  2. Use Import Web Service to select the path of the resources to be created.

2. Exporting a Web Service

The Export Web Service function helps to create WSDL files for providing Web Services out of an AnyLink BizTx.

  1. In the Studio BizTx Group navigator, right click on a BizTx/BizTx Group and select [Export]. Then, select [Export Web Service] in the [AnyLink Export] menu.

  2. Select the BizTx (Group) to be exported to WSDL.

    When a BizTx is selected and exported, then the BizTx’s inbound message is defined in the WSDL, and the service’s SOAPAction is defined as the BizTx’s sysld.

    If a BizTx Group is selected and exported, then the inbound messages of all the BizTx in the group are defined in the WASL. As well, the code value defined in [BizTx] > [Parsing Info] > [BizTx Identifier Code] is the SOAPAction of each service.
