When you create a Web service, you create an empty container
that you subsequently add database operations to.
Before you begin
- There must be a data development project listed in the Data Project
Explorer.
- The database that you want Web services to access must be listed
in the Data Source Explorer and associated with the project in which
you want to create the Web service.
Procedure
To define a Web service:
- Right-click the Web services folder
in a data development project and select New Web Service. The New Web Service wizard opens.
- Verify the name of project that you want to create the
Web service in.
- Name the Web service.
- Optional: Change the default namespace URI. For example, you might want to use a namespace URI to group
together Web services that have similar functions, have one owner,
or access the same data source.
- Click Finish. The service
is displayed in the Web services folder of
the selected data development project.
