Generating Web Service Operations on a Database Metadata

This topic describes the procedure to generate Web service operations on a database represented by Database Metadata.


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

  1. Select one of the starting points:
    • In Workspace Documents (My Recent Documents) window, place the mouse pointer on (Database Metadata), click and select Actions > Generate Web service Operations .
    • Open Workspace Documents (Explorer) > <solution> > <project> , right-click <database metadata> and select Generate Web service Operations. The Web Service Generation wizard window appears, displaying the name of the Database Metadata on its title bar.
  2. Provide the necessary details to generate the Web service operations and click Finish. 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.
