Protocols
ASIs support the standard XML envelope for Web Services, SOAP. Siebel applications supports two types of SOAP protocols: SOAP-Remote Call Procedure (RPC) and SOAP-DOC. If an inbound ASI supports an industry standard other than the protocols Siebel Systems supports, it cannot be defined as an inbound Web Service. It must be defined and supported through the existing EAI framework.
Table 4 lists the various types of transport and protocols available. The Null Protocol implements a loopback—a call back into the Siebel servers. Any method arguments passed using the Null Protocol or that are not directly specified are forwarded to the local business service or local workflow. When testing your ASI, you can use the File protocol.
