soap

This attribute determines whether the method is part of the interface or not. The acceptable values are:

• true
  
• false

static

This attribute determines whether the method is a static or an instance method. The acceptable values are:

• true
  
• false

soapresult

This attribute determines the SOAP response for the method. The acceptable values are:

• tupleset: The method returns a set of tuples in the response. This is the default option.
• notuple: The method does not return tuples in the response. However, it returns a single object in the response if the return type is BusObject, and returns multiple objects if the return type is BusObject Array.
• default: The method returns a set of tuples in the response.

cursor

Determines the number of records that will be retrieved when a get method is executed. The acceptable values are:

• false: This is the default value, which facilitates a default retrieval of a maximum of 5000 records. When the cursor value is false, you cannot specify cursor in the corresponding SOAP request.
• true: Retrieves a specific set of records (greater than or lesser than the default number). When the cursor value is true , you can specify cursor in the corresponding SOAP request to retrieve the required number of records.

implementation

This attribute determines the way the method is implemented. The acceptable values are:

• default:GetByAttributes: The implementation of the method executes an SQL statement to the database to retrieve an object identified by a unique identifier (primary key).
• default:GetByAttributesRange: The implementation of the method executes an SQL statement to the database to retrieve an object identified by a lower bound value and an upper bound value of the unique identifier.
• signature: A method header is generated based on the method definition and the method signature is generated in the extension class.
• default:GetPreviousByAttributes: The implementation of the method executes an SQL statement to the database to retrieve a previous object identified by a unique identifier.
• default:GetNextByAttributes: The implementation of the method executes an SQL statement to the database to retrieve the next object in sequence identified by a unique identifier.

transaction

This attribute determines the mode of transaction for the method. The acceptable values are:

• automatic: WS-AppServer controls the activity of starting and committing the transaction.
• none: The application controls the activity of starting and committing the transaction.
  When this attribute is left blank (default), WS-AppServer controls the transaction.

<name>
