How can you develop a webservice on XI?

[Former Member]

On XI how do you deveolop a webservice and then deploy it on to XI so it is accessible for our suctomers?

[Former Member]

OK but what I am struggling with here is if I develop my webservice on XI then I give my customer the WSDL for my WS... When My customer use's this WSDL will his message directly go to the pipeline.... so in essence I dont need a sender soap adapter?

[Former Member]

we can also do that way where we can directly point to pipeline it depends on url which you give in WSDL . with out this also we can do.

Thanks

Ricardo,

WSDL's URL will contain the service and the interface name u want the external system to interact with . So u give ur SOAP sender adapter details here

Now XI Sys acts as a SOAP client for ur WSDL . Actions in ur WSDL should carry out all ur requirements.

So if we point it directly to the pipeline and lets say an attachment is coming also with it then can we read the atachment in this way or do we have to use the soap sender adapter in order to be able to read and attached file?

Also I dont understand if you use a sender adapter with the webservice you just defined then how does it work...

Is it each time someone executes your webservice then it immediately gets sent to XI through the SOAP adapter?

we two approches 1. inside out approach

2. outside in approach.

inside out we use XI to develope WSDL. in Out side in we use R/3 to develop WSDL.
