Web Service Component Properties

Component Web Service Tab

The Web Service tab includes the following properties:

Property	Description
Web service class	Specifies the Web service class name. Use the tools to the right of the list to create, browse for, or view the properties of the currently selected class. If the Web service component is a Stateless Session Bean, the Web service class is also the bean class.
Application namespace	Specifies the application namespace, which is used to generate the URL for the Web service in the server. By default, the component package or model code is used, but you can override it here.
WSDL URL	Specifies where the WSDL is published on the web.
Web service type	Specifies the type of Web service. An interface is a component that defines the service interface only. An implementation is a component that implements a service interface.
Use external WSDL	Specifies that the WSDL is published at a specific URL and that the original WSDL will be preserved. When you import a WSDL, this option is selected by default.

Component WSDL Tab

The WSDL tab includes the following properties:

Property	Description
Target namespace	Specifies a URL linked to a method that ensures the uniqueness of the Web service and avoids conflicts with other Web services of the same name. By default, this field is set to `http://tempuri.org` for .NET and `urn:%Code%Interface` for Java, but we recommend that you change it to ensure the service name uniqueness
Prefix	Specifies the target namespace prefix
Encoding style	Specifies the kind of encoding, either SOAP (soap:xxx) or XML-Schema (xsd:xxx) for the WSDL
Comment	Provides a description of the WSDL file.
WSDL editor	Allows you to edit the contents of the WSDL. If you make edits, then the User-Defined tool is pressed.

Component WSDL Schema Tab

The WSDL Schema tab in the component property sheet includes a text zone that contains some shared schema definitions from the WSDL schema. This part of the schema defines the data types used by the input, output and fault messages.

The other part of the schema is defined within the different Web methods (operations) as SOAP input message data types, SOAP output message data types, and SOAP fault data types (see Defining SOAP Data Types of the WSDL Schema).

Component UDDI/Extended Attributes Tab

These tabs include the following properties:

Name	Description
SOAP binding style	Defines the SOAP binding style. It could be a document or rpc Scripting name: SoapBindingStyle
SOAP binding transport	Defines the SOAP binding transport URI Scripting name: SoapBindingTransport
SOAP body namespace	Defines the namespace of the XML schema data types in the WSDL Scripting name: SoapBodyNamespace
Business name	Stores the name of the business found in a UDDI registry Scripting name: BusinessName
Business description	Stores the business description of the Web Service found in a UDDI registry Scripting name: BusinessDescription
Business key	Stores the key of the business found in a UDDI registry Scripting name: BusinessKey
Namespaces	Stores additional namespace that are not automatically identified by PowerDesigner Scripting name: Namespaces
Service name	Stores the name of the service found in a UDDI registry Scripting name: ServiceName
Service description	Stores the service description of the Web Service found in a UDDI registry Scripting name: ServiceDescription
Service key	Stores the key of the service found in a UDDI registry Scripting name: ServiceKey
tModel name	Stores the name of the tModel found in a UDDI registry Scripting name: tModelName
tModel key	Stores the key of the tModel found in a UDDI registry Scripting name: tModelKey
tModel URL	Stores the URL of the tModel found in a UDDI registry. It allows you to retrieve the WSDL Scripting name: tModelURL
UDDI operator URL	Stores the URL of the UDDI registry operator URL used to find the WSDL Scripting name: UDDIOperatorURL

You can use the Preview tab of the component to preview the code that will be generated for the Web service component.
