Maintaining Web Service Annotation Types
The product provides some base annotation types. Refer to the metadata for more information. If your implementation wishes to define additional annotation types, use the Web Service Annotation Type portal. Open this page using Admin > External Message > Web Service Annotation Type.
You are taken to the query portal where you can search for an existing web service annotation type. Once an annotation type is selected, you are brought to the maintenance portal to view and maintain the selected record.
Note:
Use of custom policies should only be considered if the policies supplied by the Java EE Web Application Server are not sufficient for your implementation's needs.
CAUTION:
Important! When adding new records, carefully consider the naming convention of the web service annotation type code. Refer to System Data Naming Convention for more information.
The Web Service Annotation Type zone provides basic information about the web service annotation type.
Please see the zone's help text for information about this zone's fields.
The system supports the ability for an IWS record to refer to multiple policies. In this situation, the annotation type for the policy should include a reference to a parent annotation type so that the system can properly build the array of annotations.
