Viewing Implementation and Interface of a Web Service Operation

This topic describes the procedure to view the Implementation and Interface of a Web service operation.

Every operation contains an implementation, interface (WSDL) and XSD. To use an operation, the interface must be clearly and unambiguously described. The standard language for describing the interface of Web services is WSDL (Web Service Description Language). A requester needs to know how to address the service and what kind of response to expect.

1. Search for a Web service operation. The relevant Web service operations are displayed in the Search Results box.
   
2. Right-click a Web service operation and select Properties. The Web Service Interface Properties - <Name of the Web Service Interface> dialog box appears. This box displays the Web service interfaces and operations in their corresponding App palettes.
   
3. In the Web Service Operation App Palette, right-click an operation and select Interface or Implementation.
   Corresponding Interface and Implementation details are displayed.
