Understanding Softcoding Applications

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides two applications to support softcoding. You use the Web Service Soft Coding Templates program (P953000) to configure web service softcoding templates based on web service security requirements. You use the Web Service Soft Coding Records program (P954000) to configure web service softcoding records based on web service softcoding templates. Both of these applications store XML documents.

Developers create both softcoding templates and softcoding records for testing the business service in the development environment. When testing is finished, the administrator creates softcoding records for the business service to use in the production environment. The softcoding records are based on the softcoding templates that developers created. Typically, softcoding values will be different in the development and production environments.

To improve performance, softcoding records are cached on the business services server at runtime. When you modify a softcoding record, you should also clear the jdbj service cache.
