Published Business Services

A published business service is an Object Management Workbench (OMW) object consisting of one or more classes. One of the classes is the published business service class, which is the class that publishes methods that are exposed to the public. This public method wraps an internal business service method, where the actual business logic is performed. The published business service contains the value object classes that are received and returned by the published methods. A web service is generated from the published business service class, and the public methods of this class are operations within that web service.

After a business service is published, you cannot change the name and signature of the business service without affecting the consumers of that service. If you change an underlying business service that the published method exposes, then you change the signature and contract of the published business service.
