WebServices in Business Process

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

we have imported a WSDL and want the file in a send step in a business process. The send step requires

a) synchonous interface

b) request message

c) response message

b) and c) must be defined as container elements (also abstract interfaces).

The synchronus interface (a) used in the send step exists already of an

aa) outbound-message and

ab) inbound-message.

Why is it necessary to define explicitly b) and c) in the send step although there are defined implicit by the abstract interface a) ?

Thanks a lot

Regards Mario

Hi Mario,

Think of it in terms of the containers. The request and response messages go into separate, specific containers that are available independent of the synch interface. They can then be used or called in other places as well. For example the mapping can be done prior to sending the request message.
