INT010B SOAP Service Define Agent

INT010B - SOAP Service - Define Agent

There are three tutorials in this set which show you how to implement a web service using LANSA Integrator Studio.

The web service created in these tutorials is called GetEmployees.

The SOAP Agent consuming the GetEmployees web service will pass a department and section to the server. A list of employees for that department and section will be returned by the publisher, the SOAP Server, as an array. If only a department is passed, a list of employees in all sections for that department will be returned. If no department and section is provided then all employees for the company will be returned. The SOAP Agent program created to test this web service uses Visual LANSA, but it could be created using a 3GL such as ILE RPG equally well.

To create the service as shown in the diagram above, you must also complete this tutorial:

• INT010A - SOAP Service - Define Server

To test the service, you must complete:

• INT010C - SOAP Service - Test
