Using the Web Service Exposure Wizard

A Web services exposure definition specifies one or more JadeWebServiceProvider subclasses, a collection of JADE classes and properties, and options for the Web service such as the SOAP version and message encoding style.

The exposure is used to generate the WSDL for the consumers who use the Web service.

A Web service exposure definition is extracted or loaded when the schema in which it is defined is extracted or loaded.

To open an Exposure Browser window for a Web services exposure

  1. From the Schema Browser, select the Exposures command from the Browse menu.

    An Exposure Browser window is then opened.

  2. Click on the tab of the Web Services sheet.

If you have not yet defined a Web service exposure definition, nothing is displayed in this browser. The Exposure Browser provides the Exposure menu, which enables you to maintain your Web service exposure definitions. This menu contains the commands listed in the following table.
