Refreshing a Web Service Connector
When you create a consumer web service descriptor, Designer automatically generates the web service connector(s). You must refresh the web service connectors after you have added, deleted, or modified any of the following.

Endpoint alias within a binder for a consumer web service descriptor
Refreshing the web service connectors overwrites all the existing web service connectors for a consumer web service descriptor.
Keep the following points in mind when refreshing a web service connector:
When refreshing a web service connector,
Integration Server deletes the
consumerWSDName_ folder and all elements contained in that folder and its subfolders.
Integration Server will not recreate any elements manually added to the folder or its subfolders.
Integration Server will not recreate modifications made to any of the original elements in the
consumerWSDName_ folder.
Refreshing a web service connector does not change the structure of the fault in the output signature. That is, when you refresh a web service connector for a web service descriptor created using an
Integration Server version prior to 8.2, the web service connector output signature retains the SOAP fault document that is specific to the SOAP protocol (i.e., SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.2). Similarly, if you refresh a web service connector for a web service descriptor created using
Integration Server 8.2, the web service connector’s output signature will continue to have the generic SOAP fault structure. For more information about how the output signature of web service connector depends on the version of the
Integration Server on which the web service descriptor is created, see
Web Services Developer’s Guide.
If the
Validate Schema using Xerces property is set to true for a web service descriptor,
Integration Server validates the schemas associated with a consumer web service descriptor when you refresh the web service connector.
Refreshing web service connectors is different than refreshing a web service descriptor. When refreshing web service connectors,
Integration Server uses the original WSDL document to recreate the web service connectors and the contents of the
consumerWSDName_ folder. When refreshing a web service descriptor,
Integration Server uses an updated version of the WSDL document to regenerate the web service descriptor and its associated IS elements. For more information about refreshing web service descriptors, see
About Refreshing a Web Service Descriptor.
If you are using the local service development feature, using versions of Subversion prior to 1.7 as your VCS client might cause issues while refreshing web service connectors.
Software AG recommends that you use Subversion 1.7 or higher as your VCS client.
To refresh a web service connector
1. In Package Navigator view, open the consumer WSD for which you want to refresh web service connectors.
2. Click the Operations tab or the Binders tab.
3. Click 
or right-click and select Refresh Web Service Connectors. Integration Server regenerates all web service connectors in the consumer WSD, overwriting the existing web service connectors.
