Message category properties

The following table describes the properties that are associated with a message category:

Property Type Meaning
Message Category Kind Enumerated type This property describes the purpose of the message category. Choose from:
  • wsdl. This is the default. If the message category is to participate in the generation of WSDL documents, this property must be set to 'wsdl'. When the WSDL document is generated, the name of the message category provides the name for the <wsdl:operation> element that is generated for eligible messages in the message category.
  • other. Indicates that the category represents a generic grouping of messages as an aid to organising them in your workspace.
Message Category Usage Enumerated type This property describes the operation type for a WSDL operation. Choose from:
  • wsdl:requestresponse. This is the default for a Message Category of kind wsdl.
  • wsdl:solicitresponse.
  • wsdl:oneway.
  • wsdl:notification.
  • empty string. This is the default for a Message Category of kind other.
Documentation String Use this property to add information to enhance the understanding of an object's function.

It is a string field and any standard alphanumeric characters can be used.

For a Message Category of kind wsdl, the value of the field is included in any generated WSDL as the wsdl:documentation child of the operation element in the WSDL portType.

For a Message Category of kind other, the value of the field serves only to document the Message Category within your workspace.
