The Web Services (SOAP) Input and Output adapters are SOAP Web services clients which connect to a Web service to obtain data to feed into Event Stream Processor and deliver output from Event Stream Processor to a Web service.
Both adapters include an adapter configuration file and a mapping file. Use the adapter configuration file to set up the SOAP Input and Output Transporter modules, the ESP Publisher and Subscriber modules, as well as establish a connection to Event Stream Processor. Use the mapping file to map Web service WSDL to ESP columns.
You can either manually create a mapping file or use the schema discovery functionality in ESP Studio to automatically create one. See Discovering Schema and Creating a Mapping File for the Web Services (SOAP) Adapter in the Studio Users Guide for detailed instructions on creating a mapping file in SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor Studio.
The Web Services (SOAP) Input and Output adapters report custom statistics. Enable the time granularity option in the project configuration (ccr) file to get these statistics reported by the _ESP_Adapter_Statistics metadata stream.
