Generating the Client

You can automatically generate a client from the Web Service Data Collector WSDL documents using Software AG Designer. In the Designer Service Development perspective, you generate the client as a Web service connector. Designer generates the Web service connector from a specified WSDL document when you generate a web service descriptor. A Web service connector is an Integration Server service that has an input and output signature that corresponds to the input and output messages from the WSDL document from which it was created. You provide to the connector the parameters that are required by the Web service, and the connector creates the required Service Oriented Architecture Protocol (SOAP) message and decodes the SOAP response automatically. For more information about Web service connectors, see the Web Services Developer’s Guide.

Note:
The Web Service Data Collector WSDL documents declare some common types. When you generate the Web service connector for a subsequent WSDL document, you will receive an error about duplicate definitions. You can ignore this error.
