Web Service Adapter
If you have a number of web services currently used and wish to reuse it in another project, you can simply integrate them into your new service flow. Before integration, a few steps needed to take, so SSQ can connect to your web services.
Before you begin
Adapter Name
Adapter name will be listed in Properties of Web Service Node on SSQUARE Toolkit. See more about Adapter Name Concept: Logical and Physical Reference
Endpoint URL
SSQUARE needs to know where your web services are. Along the creating steps you are required to provide the URL of your web service.
Security
If your web service requires basic authentication for calling, username and password must be defined. Otherwise, SSQUARE couldn’t invoke your web service.
Data Structure
To call web service, it’s essential to know its data structure. By browsing WSDL file (.xml), SSQUARE will recognize data structure of your web service.
