The exercises create a web service called GetEmployees.

Image Added

• The SOAP Agent, or client, consuming the GetEmployees web service will pass a department and section to the server.

• A list of employees for that department and section will be returned by the publisher, the SOAP Server, as an array.

• If only a department is passed, a list of employees in all sections for that department will be returned.

• If no department and section is provided, then all employees for the company will be returned.

The following summarizes the steps you will follow in the three exercises to build and test your SOAP Service:

INT009A – SOAP Service – Define Server

• A form accepts department and section code and runs the IIIEMPLOYEEAGENT service on the server

• Sets IIIEMPLOYEEAGENT operation to GETEMPLOYEES

• Sets parameters to program variables

• CALLs the service

• Web Server invokes JSMDIRECT which runs the function implementing IIIEMPLOYEESERVER

• Form receives employees list and populates list view to display results.

• Define SOAP Server Types – the variables to be handled by this service

• Create a SOAP Server solution using the SOAP Server Wizard.

• Map parameters to program variables

• Build the solution, creates WSDL and jar file for iiiEmployeeServer.

• The WSDL defines the GetEmployees SOAP service

• Use the generated RDMLX to create function which supports the iiiEmployeeServer service and add your business logic

• Register the function as a JSMDIRECT service.

INT009B – SOAP Service – Define Agent

• Create a new solution using the SOAP Agent Wizard

• Define the SOAP Agent iiiEmployeeAgent based on the WSDL created in INT009A

• Map parameters to program variables

• Build the solution creates a jar file, properties file and sample RDMLX

• Create the form iiiFRM04 based on the generated RDMLX and add your business logic.

INT009C – SOAP Service – Test

• The form accepts department and section code and runs the IIIEMPLOYEEAGENT service on the server

• Sets IIIEMPLOYEEAGENT operation to GETEMPLOYEES

• Sets parameters to program variables

• CALLs the service

• Web Server invokes JSMDIRECT which runs the function implementing IIIEMPLOYEESERVER

• Form receives employees list and populates list view to display results.

To achieve this objective you must perform these steps in this sequence:

• INT009A – SOAP Service – Define Server
• INT009B - SOAP Service - Define Agent
• INT009C - SOAP Service - Test
