Service Palette

Business Works provides an alternate way of working with Web Services using Service Palette.

Services implement interfaces and expose one or more endpoints. Services provide a way of

implementing more generic service-oriented architecture (SOA).

Service Palette consists of following:

Service: Service specifies a set of endpoint bindings that expose the service to clients

over specific transports (HTTP or JMS).  Before creating a Service, one needs to define

WSDL file, process definition, HTTP or JMS Connection, Context Resource (if context

information needs to be passed).

Partner Link Configuration:  Partner Link Configuration is an association between

abstract and concrete port bindings.

Invoke Partner: Invoke Partner helps one invoke external services over SOAP.

Receive Partner Notification: Receive Partner Notification helps one invoke

Notification Service over SOAP.

Context Resource: Context Resource provides a way of sharing transport information

with operation implementations without process implementations being aware of the

transport being used. It can also be used to store SOAP Headers or message attachments.

Get Context: Get Context provides a handle to retrieve Context Resource data.

Set Context: Set Context provides a handle to set Context Resource data. This is useful

in cases if one wants to set some headers to outgoing reply message.
