Creating a Web Service Definition for the File Binding Component

For testing purposes, you can publish the master index broadcasts to a file using the File BC as described below. In a production environment, it is more likely that a SOAP or HTTP binding type would be used.

To Create the File Web Service Definition

1. Complete the procedure described in Creating a Web Service Definition for the JMS Binding Component.

2. Right-click the BPEL project, point to New, and then select WSDL Document.

   The New WSDL Document Wizard appears.

3. In the upper portion of the window, enter a file name and folder for the WSDL file.

4. In the lower portion of the window, do the following:

   1. Select Concrete WSDL Document.

   2. In the Binding Field, select File.

   3. In the Type field, select Write.

5. Click Next.

   The Request Configuration window appears.

6. In the File Write section, enter the following information:

   • File Name – The name of the file that output data will be written to.

   • Path – The absolute path to the directory where you want to store the output file.

7. (Optional) Configure the Payload Processing section according to your requirements.

8. Click Finish.

   The contents of the WSDL file appears in the editor.
