initialize

initialize(appName: String): Boolean updating;

When the default HTTP implementation is not used, no Web service application is run. However, you must still define a Web service application and set up the appropriate options.

In your application code, create an instance of your JadeWebServiceProvider subclass and then set up that instance with your options, by calling the JadeWebServiceProvider class initialize method, specifying the name of your Web-enabled application in the appName parameter. The Web service options are then set up.

If the application specified in the appName parameter does not exist or it is not a Web service application, this method returns false.

For more details and an example of this use of this method, see "Using Communications Protocols Other than HTTP in your Web Service", in Chapter 11 of the JADE Developer’s Reference.
