Creating Inbound Web Service Classes

In Rational Software Architect to add an Axis2 inbound web service class to a package, select Add Class, WS Inbound from the right-click context menu and name the class.

If you require passing and returning a W3C Document instead of IBM Cúram Social Program Management domain types or structs you must:

1. In the Curam properties tab for the WS Inbound class, select the WS_Is_XML_Document property (if passing W3C Documents providing schema validation is an optional activity and is detailed in Providing Schema Validation);
2. Select True as the value from the drop down.

By default the web service style for the class is document, which is defined in the WS_Binding_Style property as " 0 - Unspecified ". If you require the RPC binding style:

1. In the Curam properties tab, select the WS_Binding_Style property;
2. Select " 2 - RPC " as the value from the drop down.

You can also set the value explicitly to " 1 - Document ", but the generator defaults the " 0 - Unspecified " value to be document.

The class properties above will apply uniformly to all operations of the web service class; so, you need to plan your design to account for this. That is, a class can contain W3C Document operations or operations that use native data types or IBM Cúram Social Program Management structs, but not both. Similarly the binding style (WS_Binding_Style) will be applied to all operations of a class when passed as an argument to the Java2WSDL tool; so, any requirement for operations with a different binding style in generated WSDL would need to be handled in a separate modeled class.
