define Web Services in XI and call Web Services from XI

32 Views

Xi guys,

I want to create some Web services in XI that will do the following things:

receive an XML message over SOAP (from BEA WebLogic), execute 2-3 calls to an external HTTP Web Server from which I will get a response, export a file into another system, and return the response to the WS client.

As far as I know, I will have to create a Configuration scenario in XI that will contain all these steps (obviously with the help of BPM) and with the help of the Wizard, I will produce the WSDL, the function of which the Web service client will be able to call. I have some questions on that:

a) Is there a way to define with XI only one Web Service that will contain 3-4 function to do different things? Or one Web Service corresponds to one Configuration scenario?

b) Also do I need a Sender Agreement and a Sender SOAP communication channel?

c) Is there a way to construct the WSDL before creating the configuration scenario? Because BEA WebLogic people need it to start development.

Best Regards
