To access or defile a Web service, you must have the WSDL
description created by the service provider. You can use the WSDL
description to determine the operations of the Web Service to use
in your BDL program, the required parameters, and the return values.
- Right-click an Application, folder or library
node in Project Manager and select Add Web Service.
The Web Services Wizard displays.
- Choose between:
- Client Consuming WSDL - to retrieve the WSDL
information and generate a . 4gl file containing the BDL functions
for the operations in the WSDL, which can be called by a GWS
client application.
- Server Implementing WSDL - to retrieve the WSDL
information and generate a 4gl file (GWS
Server Application) containing the BDL functions to create and publish
a Web Service which can be accessed over the web.
The Web
Services Wizard guides you through the steps to add the necessary
service information to your application.
