Hi Eva,

MDM Web services are open interfaces to the MDM Server and provide synchronous access to MDM for the consumer of the Web services. They are based on the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Web Services Description Language (WSDL) standards.

MDM Web services are used to customize and build functionality into an application and can be integrated into various business scenarios to provide the following capabilities:

● Data management u2013 create, read, update, and delete

● Access to central key mapping u2013 create, read

● Checkout management u2013 checkout, check in, join checkout, unjoin checkout

● Consolidation of records using the matching functionality

● Execution of assignments

● Validation

● Workflow management u2013 launch, get job status

● Syndication of records

Thanks Rajesh.

once the .EAR file which was generated by WS Generator is placed in the wizard that generated project contains web service implementation.

Now what next how will the external Web application access the project!!!

B/W when we say web application does this mean a Web page which will communicate with our Web service that we just created and do the actions that we mentioned during the creation of web service!!!!

Thanks in advance.

external application won't access this project, you just have to know how your external application will deal with web service.
