Web Services Client Resource (Magic xpi 4.13)
To consume a Web service, you need to first define the Web service parameters in the Settings dialog box's Resources section. Later on, when you drag the Web Services utility to the flow area, you can configure this service to work with these parameters.
You can configure your Web Services Client resource by defining the following parameters (Parameters in bold are mandatory).
|
|
|
|
WSDL URL
|
The WSDL URL or file location. For example, http://localhost/AsymEncryptPolicyService/AsymEncryptService.asmx?WSDL.
You can enter the WSDL URL or file location manually. Alternatively, you can use environment variables in this parameter.
|
|
Service Endpoint URL
|
This field lets you control the service endpoint URL that the Web services step calls. For example, http://localhost/AsymEncryptPolicyService/AsymEncryptService.asmx
You can either enter the endpoint URL, or click  to open the Environment Variables List. Here, you can select an environment variable to use as an endpoint URL.
|
|
Attachment Type
|
Determines which type of attachment to use. Select one of the following from the drop-down list:
Here, a blank value indicates that no attachment needs to be sent with the Web Service invocation.
|
|
When there is no In or Out Attachment and yet the value of the Attachment Type is set to Dime or Mime, an error is thrown at runtime.
|
|
|
Timeout
|
The amount of time, in seconds, that a Web Services Client waits for the service response. If you leave this property blank, or set it to zero (0), the timeout will be infinite.
|
|
WSDL Port
|
A WSDL can have more than one port definition, each with its own set of operations and its own endpoint. In this parameter, enter the specific port that should be used for the WSDL loading process. If no port is specified, the first encountered port will be used for the load process. The default value is blank.
|
|
Migrated Resource
|
This field shows whether the project having the Web Services Client resource is migrated from an old version of Magic xpi.
|
|
If this field is not visible on migrating the project, reopen the project to see the field along with the updated resource.
