6.2 Web Service Data Source

The example web ser­vice data source must run in a J2EE applica­tion server.

Web Services have proved increasingly efficient in sharing data among distributed applications in a hybrid language environment. The functionalities are made accessible over the web using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol). Style Studio allows you to create a data source that retrieves data from a web service with any standard SOAP implementation.

If the web service does not require special intervention for the generation of the client (i.e., a working client can be generated by wsimport with no arguments or custom binding), you only need to provide the URL of the WSDL in order to create the web services data source. If you do not create a client stub, one will be created automatically by Style Studio. To create a stub manually, see Creating the Client Stub.
