Adding a Web Service Connector from Package Navigator
When you want to use web services in your Composite Application Framework web or portlet application, you must create a web services connector in the application and select a web services client.
You can create a web services descriptor in the Package Navigator view, and then drag it into a portlet view that is open in the editor. For more information, see
Specifying a Web Service Connector. In this case, any user interface elements in the web service are added to the View Declaration Language (VDL) file open in the editor.
Note: | Dragging and dropping a service from the Package Navigator view into a view in the editor is not supported. You must first create a web service descriptor, as described in Creating a Web Service Descriptor. |
You must connect to a
webMethods Integration Server to use this procedure, and the connecting user account must have appropriate ACL permissions. For more information, see
Connecting to
webMethods Integration Server.

2. Open the portlet view you want to work with in the editor.
