Invoking Component Mashups and Mashables

Information sources for your mashup can be other mashups or specific operations for mashable information sources. To invoke a mashable operation or another mashup and include the results in mashup processing, you add either:

<invoke> for MashZone NextGen mashups or mashables. See <invoke>, Automatically Generating <invoke> Statements in Mashup Editor and Controlling Component Mashup/Mashable Invocation at Runtime for details.

<directInvoke> for ungoverned, publically accessible web services or web sites. See <directinvoke> and Controlling Component Mashup/Mashable Invocation at Runtime for details.

Note: Ungoverned web services must be either REST, SOAP or syndicated web feeds.
