Developing a Message Service

To allow interaction with external messaging systems, you must develop a message service interface. The result of this process is a service file that can be deployed during your runtime operations.

For additional information, see Message Services.

The following workflow guides you through the development process. For assistance in performing these tasks, open the Developing a Message Service cheat sheet.

  1. Complete the set up.

    1. Open the Service Development perspective.

    2. Create a project in your workspace.

    3. (Optional) Import schemas (.xsd files) that are associated with the operations in the message service. Importing a schema allows you to use its structure to define message service operation parameters. If you are defining a message service using a simple datatype and or a schema is not available, skip this step.

      Note

      The xsd must contain a target namespace, such as targetNamespace="http://www.sybase.com/CustomerNS" if you want to test the service using the tooling Service Tester.

    4. (Optional) Set graphic editor preferences or driver definition preferences.

  2. Create the message service using the New Service wizard.

    The Message Service editor opens.

  3. Define the service interface.

    1. Learn more about the message service editor.

    2. (Optional) Add a message service endpoint.

    3. Add additional service operations.

    4. Define service operation properties.

    5. Define an operation parameter for each service operation.

    6. Edit interface properties.

    7. Review the message service summary.
