Creating Web services

When you create a Web service, you create an empty container that you subsequently add database operations to.

Prerequisites:

• Switch to the Data perspective, if you are not already in that perspective.

• There must be a data development project listed in the Data Project Explorer.

• The database that you want Web services to access must be listed in the Data Source Explorer and associated with the project in which you want to create the Web service.

Procedure:

To define a Web service:

1. Right-click the

   Web services folder in a data development project and select

   New Web Service. The

   New Web Service wizard opens.

   1. Verify the name of project that you want to create the Web service in.

   2. Name the Web service.

   3. Optional:

      Change the default namespace URI. For example, you might want to use a namespace URI to group together Web services that have similar functions, have one owner, or access the same data source.

2. Click Finish. The service is displayed in the

   Web services folder of the selected data development project.
