Add Web Service

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.

  1. Right-click an Application, folder or library node in Project Manager and select Add Web Service. The Web Services Wizard displays.
  2. Choose between:
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
