Understanding How to Develop a Business Service for Consuming an External Web Service

You create a business service that consumes an external web service in the same way that you create a business service that provides a web service for public consumption. But instead of using a published business service as the web service, the business service is used to consume the web service. As part of the process, you create a web service proxy and an XML document. This business service is called by a business function. The following tasks provide a scenario for creating a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne business service that consumes an external web service.
