RPC-Literal Support

RPC allows the use of transports other than HTTP (for example, MQ and MSMQ), because you do not have to use the SOAPAction header to specify the operation.

The following specifications are required for using RPC-literal:

Specification R2717. An RPC-literal binding in a description must have the namespace attribute specified, the value of which must be an absolute uniformed resource instant (URI), on contained soapbind:body elements.

Specification R2729. A message described with an RPC-literal binding that is a response message must have a wrapper element whose name is the corresponding wsdl:operation name suffixed with the string Response.

Specification R2735. A message described with an RPC-literal binding must place the part accessory elements for parameters and return value in no namespace.

Specification R2207. A wsdl:message in a description may contain wsdl:parts that use the elements attribute provided that those wsdl:parts are not referred to by a soapbind:body in an rpc-literal binding.

Making a Web Service an RPC-Literal Web Service

RPC Literal processing is enabled by rendering a Web service as an RPC-literal Web service, and choosing the correct binding on the Inbound Web Services view.

To make a Web service an RPC-literal Web service

1. Navigate to the Administration - Web Services screen, Inbound Web Services view.
2. Select or add a new namespace from the Inbound Web Services list following the instructions in Invoking Siebel Web Services Using an External System.
3. Create a new inbound service port record in the Service Ports list as indicated in Invoking Siebel Web Services Using an External System
4. In the Binding column, select SOAP_RPC_LITERAL from the drop-down list.
