Context

To consume a Web service, you have to create a Web service client for it. When you create a Web service client, you generate a Web service proxy and then create a client application, which uses the Web service proxy to call the Web service.

Procedure


  1. You generate a Web service proxy based on the WSDL document of the Web service for which you want to generate the proxy. The procedure below enables you to import the relevant WSDL document.

  2. Generate a Web service proxy based on the WSDL document of a Web service which you imported.

  3. Create a Service Group and service references in the Web service client.

    Service Groups allow you to create references to more than one Web service. At runtime, you can configure multiple Web service clients, by configuring the respective Service Groups.
