This section describes the changes in this release of the Business Services component. The following topics are covered:
The style of Java clients generated for business services has changed. Previous clients will continue to function correctly, but new clients will be generated using a different style that uses EntireX RPC directly instead of requiring the generation of an EntireX RPC wrapper. All Java client generation details are now provided in this guide; they are no longer documented in the Java Wrapper/Web Service Wrapper sections of the EntireX documentation. For information, see Generate a Java Client.
The Add from Server wizard has been replaced with standard Natural Server view functionality. You can now add business services to a local project directly from the Natural Server view. For information, see Downloading Business Services from the Server.
The NBS Security view is now available and you can apply security at a domain, business service, and/or method level. The NBS Security view is linked to the Navigator and Natural Server views; as you select different domains or children of domains, the views will change accordingly. For information, see Setting Security Privileges.
This section describes the known issues in this release of the Business Services component. The following topics are covered:
Currently, you cannot move or copy a business service from one domain to another. If you do, an error will occur and the service will appear to be in the old domain.
When creating Java classes or Web services, redefined fields are not supported and the original field will be used. This behavior is not consistent with Natural Business Services 5.n installations, which support redefined fields.
When generating a Java client from a business service (.bsrv file), ensure the underlying Natural subprogram data areas do not contain direction modifier comments in the parameter fields, such as "/* in" or "/* out" and the "BY VALUE" (IN direction) option. These are currently not supported. If they are used, the resulting generated code will contain compile errors.
