Registering a Web Service Connection

The composer allows you to register a web service for use in your scripts.

This capability lets you associate a web service variable name with a URL that provides the location of the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) resource that represents the service you want to invoke.

For example, you might register a web service variable name of EmployeeService for a web service that your application needs to invoke for working with employee data from another system. This service's WSDL resource URL might look something like:

http://example.com:8099/Services/EmployeeService?WSDL

Of course, the server name, the port number, and path name for your actual service will be different. If the port number is omitted, then it will assume the service is listening on the default HTTP port number 80.
