Service based SWC

[Former Member]

We are on 7.0 and would like to build interfaces more geared for providing common services to various departments with the company. Once such example being publishing exchange rates. I know we lack service registry and ESR in 7.0...can I still create a SOA based application for this?

Also, does it make sense to create a SWC strictly for something like this abcCorp_Services?

Has anyone attempted anything of this sort...any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Ofcourse you can,you just need to develop WSDL for the interface you develop and publish this WSDL at some place where external partners can access.

>>Has anyone attempted anything of this sort...any suggestions?

yeah,i recently did a similar kind of interface for Weborders

Thanx

When you say publish the WSDL in some place...please elaborate on that.

Hey

When you generate a WSDL file,you will store it in some central place from where external partners can easily acsess it(pretty much same as ESR).

This can be easily done in Visual admin,please have a look at the blog

I'm thinking of grouping services by functional areas and these functional area would map to SWC. Any suggestions?

Would like to know how others are handling this?

Thanks,

Also, thanks for the prev. feedback...points to follow.
