Selecting an Alternative Web Service Operation to Expose

If you do not want to use the default web service operation , you can select a different one to expose.

1. Select the task or event that you will use to expose the web service. On the General tab of the Properties view, the following buttons are shown against the Operation field.
   
2. Click one of these buttons, depending on what you want to do. The following table describes each available option.

   Button	Usage
   Select	Choose an operation from a WSDL that already exists in your workspace. See Selecting an Operation From a WSDL That Exists in the Workspace .
   Import WSDL	Import a WSDL from an external source (a file, URL or service registry), then choose an operation from the imported WSDL. See Importing a WSDL and Selecting an Operation .
   Set Default	Reset the task or event to use the default web service operation. See Using the Default Generated Web Service Operation . This option is not available if the default WSDL is already selected.
   Clear	Clear the current selections in the Operation and Endpoint resolution sections.

   Note: When you configure a task or event to expose the response part of a request-response web service operation, it will automatically use the web service operation configured for the request activity. The Select, Clear, Import WSDL and Set Default buttons are not available, and you cannot select a different web service operation.
