Service Provider Properties

To view or edit a service provider's properties, double-click its Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property	Description
Name/Code/Comment	Identify the object. The name should clearly convey the object's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the object. By default the code is generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field.
Stereotype	Extends the semantics of the object. You can enter a stereotype directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in an extension file.
Filename	Specifies the path to the file that contains the whole service definition. The path is set during import and used during file generation. Use the tools to the right of the box to select a WSDL file or open the currently selected WSDL file.
Endpoint URL	Specifies the address at which the service can be reached.
Target namespace	Specifies a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) reference that uniquely identifies the web service and avoids conflicts with other web services with the same name. By default, it is: urn:<Service Provider Code>.
Prefix	Specifies a prefix for the target namespace. All the schema elements with this prefix in their start-tag will be associated with the namespace. The default value is: "tns" that stands for "This NameSpace". For example: <tns:invoice>, where "tns" is the prefix associated with the XSD document that describes the "invoice" markup.
Implementation	Specifies a link between the service provider and an OOM component or a PDM database web service. Use the tools to the right of the box to select an implementation object, view the properties of the currently selected object, or remove it.
Keywords	Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.

The following tabs are also available:

Service Interfaces - Lists the interfaces contained by the provider (see Service Interfaces (BPM)).
XSD Documents - Lists the XSD documents defining the data schemas that describe the service provider (see XSD Documents (BPM)).
XML Namespaces - Lists the XML namespace prefixes used by the WSDL file, specifying the xmlns namespace declaration, an optional shorthand prefix, and the namespaceURI (Uniform Resource Identifier), which specifes the location where element and attribute names are declared. The namespace declaration syntax is the following:
```
xmlns:prefix="namespaceURI"
```
Data Schema - Contains the data schema of the service provider, which can be created manually or come from the imported WSDL or an XSD document associated with an XML model. If there are more than one XSD document, data schemas are concatenated. You can specify the type of schema as DTD, XML Schema, or RELAX NG.
