Modify an inbound Web service
To avoid having customization overwritten by future versions of WebSphere Commerce, we do not recommend that you modify existing inbound services. Instead, create a new version of the inbound service based on existing ones.
Procedure
- Determine the implementation command and mapping file for the inbound Web services.
- Extend the existing implementation command if .
- Follow the steps in Tutorial: Defining an inbound Web service to create a new inbound service. Reference the existing messaging mapping file when you perform steps in Configure message mapping for a Web service request, and use the the own implementation command in the CommandMapping section if you have created one in step 2.
