Control Flow

The Web Services (SOAP) adapter loads its configuration from a file (for example, adapter_config) and validates it against the adapter schema (framework.xsd).

The Adapter Controller creates an instance of the Web Services (SOAP) adapter, and receives and executes start and stop commands.

Web Services (SOAP) Input Adapter Control Flow

Web Services (SOAP) Output Adapter Control Flow

• Start Command
  When the start command is executed, it configures and starts the command and control interface, starts the adapter, discovers the Web service using its WSDL, connects the ESPPublisher and ESPPSubscriber components to Event Stream Processor, and then connects to the Web service using the endpoints specified in either the adapter configuration file or the WSDL.
• Stop Command
  When the stop command is executed, it disconnects the ESPPublisher and ESPSubscriber components from Event Stream Proecssor, disconnects from the Web service, and terminates the adapter process.
