Generating Standard Web Service Operations on a Database

This topic describes the procedure to generate standard Web service operations on a database.

Before you begin this task:

  • WS-AppServer service must be configured and should be available as the metadata service.
  • Database Metadata must be created on the metadata service


This option helps you to generate standard Web service operations directly upon the database tables. This option is useful when you need standard Web service operations to perform certain functions on the database tables, without applying any custom logic. All you need is to create a Database Metadata that internally uses a metadata service, and generate Web service operations using it.

Alternatively, you can generate Web service operations directly on a Database Metadata. Both these ways result in a similar output.

  1. Select a starting point and click to create a Web Service. The Web Service Wizard appears.
  2. Provide the necessary details to generate the Web service operations on a Database.
    Note: You need to enter details on couple of pages. Click Next to proceed to the subsequent page and continue until you complete entering information on the wizard.
  3. Click Finish on the wizard. The Web Service Generation Wizard closes.

    The Web service containing the Web service interface and Web service operations is generated and placed under the specified project/folder.

After you complete this task:
You must publish the generated Web service and its contents to the organization. For use at run time, attach the Web service interface to the WS-AppServer Service.
