Provides step-by-step instructions to generate CICS Web service provider components from the Reverse project, and describes
each output component.
Use the
New CICS Web Service wizard to generate the components of your Web service provider.
- In the
Application Explorer view, expand
Enterprise Developer > Enterprise Development Projects.
- Right-click the
Reverse project, and then select
New > Interface > CICS Web Service from the context menu.
- Click
XML message processing.
- From the
Service type drop-down list, select
CICS Web Service Provider (Top-Down); then click
Next.
The
Project field should already show the
Reverse project name.
- Click the
Browse button that corresponds to the
Service definition field, and browse to the
reverse.wsdl file located in the
wsdl project folder.
- Double-click
reverse.wsdl. This populates the
Service definition field.
- In the
Program name field, type
reverse, which is the program name for the generated COBOL skeleton program.
You need to provide a URI that
Enterprise Server can use to identify and locate the appropriate Web service upon receiving a request or a response. This information goes
into the
Service location field.
- In the
Service location field, type
/cwsDemo/reverseMe.
The
Request file prefix and
Response file prefix fields are completed for you by default. These are the names of the generated copybooks that support the generated skeleton
program file, one for request data structures, and one for response data structures.
The
Program interface field enables you to specify the generation of either a COMMAREA or a CHANNEL interface in the skeleton program. In this
tutorial, you want to generate a CHANNEL interface.
- From the
Program interface drop-down list, select
CHANNEL. This activates the
Container name field.
The default container name is
DFHWS-DATA, which is the top-level container used in service provider applications for CICS Web services.
- Click
Finish.
Enterprise Developer generates the following CICS Web service components:
- reverse.cbl
- A skeleton CICS program.
- REQ01.cpy
- A copybook containing the COBOL data structures required to send a SOAP request as input.
- RESP01.cpy
- A copybook containing the COBOL data structures required to receive a SOAP response message as output.
- loadlib\reverse.wsbind
- A bind file that maps the SOAP request to the data structure in
REQ01.cpy, and maps the data structure in
RESP01.cpy to the SOAP response message.
