Sending SOAP Requests
A ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks process definition can perform a SOAP request operation using the SOAP Request Reply activity. In this case, the process acts as a SOAP client that sends a request to a web service. The web service is described in a WSDL file. You can retrieve WSDL files from well-known web service registries. See WSIL Files and UDDI Registries for more information.
Once a WSDL file is retrieved, you can store and use the WSDL file in the project. You can view and manipulate the WSDL file with the WSDL palette. See
for more information.The web service may be configured to send a reply or a fault. The SOAP Request Reply activity executes synchronously. When the web service sends a fault, the fault is stored in the error output of the activity and an error transition is taken to the next activity in the process definition. One-way operations do not receive reply or fault messages.
