Designing XML Schemas

You need XML schemas for the services you designed in Designing XAI Inbound Services.

For each message, identify what service you need to invoke and what action you need to perform. If you have multiple actions that you may need to perform for the same service, you may choose to create a single generic XML schema or you may choose to create multiple schemas, which are more specific. For generic messages, the transaction type, indicating the action to perform would be passed in on the XML request document to indicate what must be done. For more specific messages, you may be able to indicate the transaction type directly on the schema and it would not need to be overwritten at run time.

You need to create a response schema for each request schema. It is possible for you to use the same schema for both functions.
