Editing SOAP Service Endpoints

An endpoint provides the service implementation to the SOAP service. You can reuse an existing service by editing its service endpoint.

To edit a SOAP service endpoint:

  2. Select the Service Interface tab.

  3. Choose from the following:

    • To add an endpoint, right-click the endpoint icon on the service interface, and select Add Endpoint from the context menu.

    • To edit an existing endpoint, right-click the service interface, and select Edit Endpoint from the context menu.

    The Endpoint Type window opens.

  4. Edit a service endpoint. Choose from the following, and click Next:

  6. Edit any of the following connection properties, and click Next.
